Alive Until You Look

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You built a box where both things live at once,
alive and dead suspended in the thought—
your cat became the superposition,
the quantum ghost that taught us how to doubt
the watching eye, the measured world we thought
was settled. Your uncertainty unspooled
the solid ground we'd walked on, proved it wasn't.

[Chorus]
You hold the paradox and never blink,
the wave and particle in one strange wink,
your mind the mirror where two states collapse
into the kiss of knowing—yes and no,
the yes and no, the yes and no.

[Verse 2]
Each time your thought fires through the synaptic gap,
long-term potentiation builds the bridge
between the possible and actual—
your neurons mapped the unmappable,
rewired how we see. Predictive coding
in your cortex sang the dual note:
the system holds, the system splits, both true.

[Chorus]
You hold the paradox and never blink,
the wave and particle in one strange wink,
your mind the mirror where two states collapse
into the kiss of knowing—yes and no,
the yes and no, the yes and no.

[Bridge]
Theta waves of thought that wouldn't settle,
axonal branching into both directions,
your hippocampus dancing with the impossible,
interoception feeling what can't be felt—
you lived inside the tremor, made it sing.

[Chorus]
You hold the paradox and never blink,
the wave and particle in one strange wink,
your mind the mirror where two states collapse
into the kiss of knowing—yes and no,
the yes and no, the yes and no.

[Outro]
The box still breathes. Your cat walks through
both doors at once, forever young,
and we're still learning how to live like that.
