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.
