[Intro: 7/8, bright arpeggios, elastic bass] (Tika-tika-boom, tss-ka-tss) (Wonder, wonder, wander!) [Glitched vocal chops] [Verse 1: Playful, rhythmic] I went looking for an answer Found a question hiding there Pulled a thread into a universe I never knew was there From the stars to ancient cities From a circuit to a song Every door became a hallway And I followed it along [Pre-Chorus: Rising falsetto, 5/4] One discovery becomes another One more spark beneath the skin (Where does it go?) (Let me in!) [Chorus: Soaring, anthemic, layered] Oh, the beautiful detour! All the things I never knew! Every question is a window With a million different views! I don't need to find an ending I just love the way it feels When the world unfolds another Little wonder to reveal! [Break: IDM drums, funky bass solo] (Bmm-ka-tss, bmm-bmm-ka) (Know-know-know, wanna know!) [Phonk vocal chops, stereo stutters] [Verse 2: Bouncing 9/8 groove] I learned a little about everything And everything about a few Found the strangest intersections Where the old becomes the new Every skill became a language Every failure left a clue Now a thousand distant subjects Make a picture coming through [Bridge: Half-time, intimate to explosive] (What are you searching for?) I don't know until I see (What will you do with it?) Make another part of me! [Final Chorus: Key lift, huge harmonies] Oh, the beautiful detour! Every road becomes a friend! I can spend a whole lifetime Finding worlds around the bend! Let the questions keep on coming Let the answers multiply I'll be learning something wonderful Until the day I die! [Outro: 7/8, fading vocal loops] (Why-why-why? Because!) (Tika-boom, tss-ka-tss) [Unresolved synth sparkle]
