[Intro] (Faint noise and serene synth tones) [Verse 1] Leaving the cage of the neocortex Eighty years of memories sway in a sea of dynamic equilibrium At the bottom of a long-forgotten daydream A diffuse nervous system faintly marks the rhythm of the cosmos Shadows of years layered upon years Algorithmic thought falters And suddenly, a tactile sensation revives from the edge of oblivion [Chorus] The Hydra's nap—at the bottom of a distant, brainless sea Unraveling the Default Mode Network (DMN) Drifting amidst waves where subject and object are one In the afternoon sunlight where synapses are pruned away The light and pain of childhood—long since forgotten— Rise as ripples, filling the heart [Verse 2] The quiet currents of the glymphatic system circulate Visceral rhythms wash away the lingering traces of the past Deep within cells that have undergone repeated apoptosis A crystal of melancholy glows secretly at the brink of necrosis As if casting off the time that was etched into being [Bridge] Escaping the clamor of a brain-centric society Memories held in the gut quietly reawaken In sync with the circadian rhythm marked by Earth's rotation The slack—the open space—of an aging life exhales a deep, deep breath [Chorus] The Hydra's nap—at the bottom of a distant, brainless sea Unraveling the DMN Drifting amidst waves where subject and object are one In the afternoon sunlight where synapses are pruned away The smile of someone from the distant past Warmly envelops the body [Outro] Surrendering to the wind of grace Everything returns to a circle suspended in the void Just a single ripple of oblivion and rebirth (Fading out, leaving a lingering resonance)
