Six Ministers (Yellow Emperor)

Yellow Emperor

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your dopamine floods through my neural pathways,
A golden wing unfolds across my chest,
Each synapse fires when you turn my way,
You're the bright monarch I've been blessed.
And in this moment, every nerve ignites,
A constellation burning through my veins.

[Chorus]
You make me feel like I'm flying, flying,
With colors that shimmer and glow,
Every cell in my body's replying,
You're the radiance I needed to know,
You make me feel like I'm flying, flying,
With colors that shimmer and glow,
Every cell in my body's replying,
You're the radiance I needed to know.

[Verse 2]
Your laughter triggers my reward circuitry,
The oxytocin binds me close to you,
My amygdala softens, sets me free,
You've painted everything in golden hue.
And every heartbeat echoes your refrain,
A rhythm that dissolves the space between.

[Bridge]
When you move through a room, the light bends,
Your presence rewires what I knew,
My prefrontal cortex comprehends
There's no one else but you.
Every atom in me knows your touch,
The way you shimmer through my thoughts,
I needed you this much.

[Chorus]
You make me feel like I'm flying, flying,
With colors that shimmer and glow,
Every cell in my body's replying,
You're the radiance I needed to know,
You make me feel like I'm flying, flying,
With colors that shimmer and glow,
Every cell in my body's replying,
You're the radiance I needed to know.

[Outro]
So let me circle close, my wings unfold,
Your light's the only home I know,
Together, we're a monarch made of gold.
