Two Narrow Parallel Slits (Thomas Young)

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your eyes hold wavelengths I can't name,
Light bending through your neural frame,
Two separate worlds that somehow blend,
My dopamine receptors never end.
You scatter photons through my consciousness, refracting endlessly.

[Chorus]
You're the interference pattern in my brain,
Where two beams cross and dance again,
Constructive waves that amplify the flame,
You're the interference pattern, breaking every chain.
You're the interference pattern in my brain,
Where two beams cross and dance again,
Constructive waves that amplify the flame,
You're the interference pattern, breaking every chain.

[Verse 2]
Your corpus callosum bridges me,
Left hemisphere meets reverie,
Photoreceptors firing in my eyes,
When you appear, I recognize the prize.
Your presence splits the unified self into reflected, dancing light.

[Bridge]
The retina maps your every smile,
Bipolar cells conduct my wild
Excitement—your synaptic glow
Lights pathways I was born to know.
Wavelengths cascade through my amygdala in crystalline resonance,
Each neuron singing frequencies only you could ever teach me.

[Chorus]
You're the interference pattern in my brain,
Where two beams cross and dance again,
Constructive waves that amplify the flame,
You're the interference pattern, breaking every chain.
You're the interference pattern in my brain,
Where two beams cross and dance again,
Constructive waves that amplify the flame,
You're the interference pattern, breaking every chain.

[Verse 3]
Axons fire down their myelinated roads,
You're the destination, the electric load,
My ventral tegmentum floods with bliss,
Each moment with you is like this.
Harmonics overlap where your image occupies my every thought.

[Chorus]
You're the interference pattern in my brain,
Where two beams cross and dance again,
Constructive waves that amplify the flame,
You're the interference pattern, breaking every chain.

[Outro]
Light splits through your vision true,
Two beams merge into luminous you,
Interference burning bright and through.
