[Intro]
Shimmering waves, the dawn ignites
Quantum whispers, through cosmic nights
[Verse 1]
Flickering sparks, the universe's code
Every ray's a story, a secret to unfold
Diving into the depths where shadows collide
In the dance of photons, where mysteries reside
[Pre-Chorus]
Tracing the edges of what we see
Layers upon layers of reality
Unravel the night, embrace the bright
In the derivative of light
[Chorus]
Illuminate the dark, with sparks of insight
Chasing the dawn where shadows take flight
Every shimmer, a message in sight
Guided by the derivative of light
[Verse 2]
Reflections twist, and colors collide
Mathematical beauty, impossible to hide
From the smallest quark to the vast cosmic flight
All born from the derivative of light
[Pre-Chorus]
Tracing the edges of what we see
Layers upon layers of reality
Unravel the night, embrace the bright
In the derivative of light
[Chorus]
Illuminate the dark, with sparks of insight
Chasing the dawn where shadows take flight
Every shimmer, a message in sight
Guided by the derivative of light
[Bridge]
As equations dance in the mind’s eye
Discovering truth that can never lie
Through the spectrum where secrets ignite
We follow the derivative of light
[Outro]
Shimmering waves, the dawn ignites
Quantum whispers, through cosmic nights
Forever chasing, forever bright
The infinite derivative of light
[Verse 1]
I stood where the photon falls,
Tracing shadows on the endless wall,
Infinite motion, a curve through the night,
Every answer begins with a question of light.
[Pre-Chorus]
The function of being, the slope of the climb,
We measure existence in fragments of time.
[Chorus]
Take the derivative of light, and hear it sing,
A cadence of meaning in every string,
Life is a waveform, unresolved and free,
Music of the cosmos, defining me.
[Verse 2]
Each resonance whispers, each silence replies,
Notes like equations that breathe in disguise,
The further we follow, the clearer it seems,
The proof of our living flows inside the dream.
[Bridge]
Velocity of wonder, acceleration of soul,
We're all just vibrations that long to be whole.
If brightness can vanish, it can also divide,
Into symphonies hidden, where the mysteries hide.
[Chorus]
Take the derivative of light, and hear it sing,
A calculus of being, in everything,
Threads of infinity woven in sound,
The meaning of living is the song we’ve found.
[Outro]
So I won't fear the silence,
Nor question the night—
For life is just music,
And music is a Derivative of Light"
