Three-Way Crossroads in Phocis (Oedipus)
Oedipus
Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your face reflects in mine like synaptic fire, Two neural pathways merging into one desire, The mirror shows me what I couldn't see before, A recognition written in your very core. [Chorus] You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before, You're the answer to the question burning in my soul, Your mirror image makes this fractured spirit whole, You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before. [Verse 2] The amygdala recognizes what's unknown, Yet something deeper says you're already my own, Like neurons firing patterns they've rehearsed before, My body knows you at some ancient core. [Chorus] You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before, You're the answer to the question burning in my soul, Your mirror image makes this fractured spirit whole, You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before. [Bridge] The mirror never lies about what calls to me, Your oxytocin bonds us in complicity, I see myself reflected in your sacred space, The neural resonance between your soul and face. [Chorus] You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before, You're the answer to the question burning in my soul, Your mirror image makes this fractured spirit whole, You're the image that I chase, the reflection I adore, In your eyes my dopamine floods like never before. [Outro] The mirror breaks but shows me something true, That all reflection leads me back to you, And in that glass, two souls became one view.
