Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your hands traced invisible rivers through empty air,
saw what no one else could touch—
the dancing space between magnet and wire,
the way force bends without permission.
You built cathedrals of copper loops,
turned mathematics into motion,
proved the world speaks in languages of flux.

[Chorus]
You lit the dark with hands that knew
what eyes could never see,
your mirror neurons firing bright
when force became the key—
the field, the field, the field between,
where everything that hides comes clean,
and you, you were the one to show
how deep the invisible can go.

[Verse 2]
Your theta waves burned steady, relentless,
hippocampus locking every revelation—
synaptic plasticity rewired your cortex
with each new coil, each new rotation.
The myelination of your focused attention
made pathways blaze, made neurons dance,
your axonal branching reaching always further
into the space that everyone assumed was vacant.

[Chorus]
You lit the dark with hands that knew
what eyes could never see,
your mirror neurons firing bright
when force became the key—
the field, the field, the field between,
where everything that hides comes clean,
and you, you were the one to show
how deep the invisible can go.

[Bridge]
Your proprioception measured the unmeasurable,
interoception sensing what the body could not name—
you stood in the gap and made it roar,
turned longing into law,
made the empty fullness sing.

[Chorus]
You lit the dark with hands that knew
what eyes could never see,
your mirror neurons firing bright
when force became the key—
the field, the field, the field between,
where everything that hides comes clean,
and you, you were the one to show
how deep the invisible can go.

[Outro]
Your iron filings still remember
the patterns your hands called forth,
dancing proof that love looks like
making the unseen suddenly visible,
field upon field upon field.
