Deep in the mines where the shadow-code breeds, A figure claws for the shine, planting bitter seeds. Metal bends the space and the time, Stronger than steel, with a fracture-vein spine, Tensile and ruthless, a ghost in the seam— The key to the renegade's dream. Echoes of hammers on veins that won't crack, A quantum ghost on a one-way track. Lighter than whispers yet dense as a void, A core of desire that cannot be destroyed. The chase leads through shadows, the gold turns to dust, A trick of the earth designed to rust. They say it's impossible! They say it's not real! But the digging continues! The turning of the wheel! [Chorus 1] They call it Unobtainium—fracture in the star no one can hold! Unobtainium—slipping through time, turning seekers to stone! Can't grasp it, can't chain it, beyond all reach, Unobtainium—the lesson it teaches. The cold rock breathes, the vibe begins to spin, Not forged in the earth, but alive from within. A spark that vanishes from the catalog, Isotopes fade where the blueprint falls. Out of the slag pours a light taking form— Not alloy or ingot, just a girl in the storm. Atoms conspire in a crystalline kiss, Laughter like sparks from a neutron abyss. Still they call it "metal," still they keep the score, But the eyes burn fiercer than a plasma core. They swear it's a phantom, a spike in the line... But the heartbeat echoes where the sensors resign. [Chorus 2] They call it Unobtainium—glitch in the code that the system can't bind! It slips past the names and the numbers assigned, More than a metal, deeper than mind! Always the phantom—never defined! [Bridge] "To possess is to destroy! To hold is to crush! The Paradox of Tantalus—the fruit recedes as they reach! They dig for gold and find only their reflection screaming back!" Maps lead to nowhere! Traps spring on air! Unobtainium dances like it isn't even there! Through the haze it puzzles, unsolved, Logic unwinds, sanity revolves. One step closer, the phase shifts away, A beautiful system that leads them astray. Not a treasure to find! Not a prize to be won! Not metal but human? A soul for no one! Glory sought in the breach of the skies, But the woman incinerates lies. [Interlude] U-U-Unobtainium. The cosmos keeps calling. Chains to the ground. An echo's a siren that never makes sound. The only thing truly owned... is the letting go. [Final Chorus] They call it Unobtainium—the wanting consumes but the having destroys! From element's riddle to the void on the wind, The paradox burns where the seeker deploys! Can't hold it! Won't own it! Beyond all keep! Unobtainium, the secret too deep! [Outro] Just walking away... Just walking away... OUT OF REACH! (Never owned!) OUT OF REACH! (Never owned!) It was always the lesson. It was never the metal. It was always the girl. ...Unobtainium.
