[Intro – glitchy synth pops, rubbery bassline, funky guitar scratches, lab ambience, Geiger counter ticking morphing into hi-hat, glass clinks, electric zaps] Yeah— welcome to the lab, baby— we ask dumb questions with expensive equipment ⸻ [Verse 1 – playful, funky, confident female vocal, tight groove] Who named orange—fruit or hue? Did the color get the memo or the fruit come through? Lab coat crisp but I’m mentally loose Tryna test existence with a burnt-out fuse Chicken or egg, spin that wheel Evolution laughing like “none of it’s real” Mutation, selection, time on loop We just cosmic soup in a thinking group ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – rising tension, layered vocals, synth swelling] Microscope dreams, telescope lies Zoom in far enough—everything dies Zoom out far enough—everything’s one So who pressed start… who loaded the sun? ⸻ [Chorus – explosive funk groove, punchy, electric chaos] WHAT CAME FIRST — THE CODE OR THE GLITCH? THE GOD OR THE APE WITH A MATHEMATICAL ITCH? WE DANCE IN THE DATA, WE SWEAT IN THE PROOF BUT THE ANSWER GOT LOST IN A PARTICLE LOOP HEY— SPIN IT AGAIN — BIG BANG OR A LIE? TIME JUST A TRICK THAT WE WEAR LIKE A TIE? THE SMARTEST QUESTION, THE DUMBEST ONE TOO— IS “WHY AM I ME… AND WHY ARE YOU YOU?” ⸻ [Verse 2 – heavier bass, rhythmic, more attitude] Carbon and chaos, bones in a suit Brain full of lightning, tongue full of fruit Language evolved just to label the sky Now we argue semantics while stars burn and die Neuron fireworks, chemical jazz Free will maybe—depends who you ask Physics be flirting with philosophy late Like “you complete me”—uncertainty state ⸻ [Bridge – stripped, robotic voices, glitch stutter, experimental] [voice modulation, stutter loop, digital distortion] Define “first” Define “time” Define “you” …good luck, slime [distorted laughter, synth meltdown rising] ⸻ [Breakdown – bass-driven, chaotic groove, playful energy] [bass slap solo, laser zaps, lab alarms syncing into rhythm] ⸻ [Final Chorus – bigger, layered choir + funk fusion] WHAT CAME FIRST — THE NAME OR THE THING? THE SOUND OR THE MOUTH THAT LEARNED HOW TO SING? WE BUILT ALL THE QUESTIONS OUT OF OUR FEAR AND STILL THEY DANCE WHEN NOBODY’S HERE OH— ROUND AND AROUND — NO EDGE, NO END THE QUESTION’S THE LOOP THAT WE LIVE IN, MY FRIEND THE ANSWER DON’T MATTER—IT NEVER WAS TRUE— THE QUESTION IS YOU… THE QUESTION IS YOU ⸻ [Outro – fading synths, soft ambient hum, intimate vocal close]
