(Punched accents) They say it's impossible! (Hey!) They say it's not real! (Hey!) But I know what I'm chasing! I know what I feel! (Melodic Punk, Anthemic, Open Chords) Unobtainium! Oh, Unobtainium! You're the fracture in a star I can never own! Unobtainium! Yeah, Unobtainium! Slipping away, leaving me all alone! Can't hold you, can't own you, you're out of my reach Unobtainium—you're the lesson I teach! [Instrumental Break: Thrash solo into a sudden stop] They say it's impossible, yeah they say it's not real But I know what I'm chasing, I know what I feel Unobtainium, fading from view, A ghost in the darkness, forever untrue. Unobtainium, a bittersweet grace, Lost in the chase, an empty space. I reach for you, but you slip away, Another illusion at the close of day. They say it's impossible, yeah they say it's not real But I know what I'm chasing, I know what I feel Unobtainium, shimmering bright, A phantom promise in the endless night. Unobtainium, a siren’s call, Leaving me breathless, destined to fall. Not mine to grasp, just a fleeting sign, An echo of longing, forever entwined. They swear it's a phantom, a spike in my mind— Yet I hear a heartbeat the system can't find. [Full Duet, Mixed Imagery, Heavier guitars] Unobtainium, oh, Unobtainium, You're the glitch in a star I can never own. No—she—slips past every name I give, More than a metal, deeper than stone. (Theatrical, manic energy) "To possess is to destroy! To hold is to crush! The Paradox of Tantalus—the fruit recedes as we reach! We dig for gold and find only our own reflection screaming back!" [Interlude] (Auto-tuned, stuttering vocals) U-U-Unobtainium. The cosmos keeps calling. I'm chained to the ground. Your echo's a siren that never makes sound. (Philosophical whisper) The only thing we truly own... is the letting go. [Shoegaze, Epic Melodic Punk, Post-Rock] [Tempo: Return to full 180 BPM driving beat, Wall of Sound Guitars] Unobtainium, fading in the light, A ghost I’ll carry through the darkest night. No siren’s call, just silence deep, A promise broken, secrets I keep. Not mine to grasp, not mine to own, Just echoes of a dream, forever alone. [Guitar Solo] [Epic, soaring, heavy delay and reverb, building to a crescendo] [Revealing, emotional vocal] Not a treasure to claim, not a prize to enthrone, Not metal—your soul—wild, untamed, and unknown. I dug for a glory to breach the skies, But I found a woman who incinerates lies. [Ethereal, fading, glitched electronics] The cosmos keeps calling; I'm chained to the ground. Your echo's a siren that never makes sound. Every step that I take spirals deeper with chance— Unobtainium—your wraith—leads the dance. [Solo: Haunting Theremin-style synth lead, 4 bars, rising key-lift] [Epic, full band, orchestral strings,Acceptance] Unobtainium, oh, Unobtainium, You're the glitch in a star I can never own. From element's riddle to a name on the wind, I let the inferno live where I can't begin. (Full power, desperate emotion, maximum volume) UNOBTAINIUM! OH, UNOBTAINIUM! You're the one that I want, but you'll never be mine! From element's riddle to a name on the wind I let the inferno live where I can't begin! Can't hold you! Won't own you! Not mine to keep! Unobtainium, you're the lesson so deep! [Anthemic with layered vocals] Unobtainium... Unobtainium... Can't be mine, no, can't be mine... (Shoegaze noise wash, pounding drums, melodic lead line) Just walking away... Just walking away... (Screamed call and response) OUT OF REACH! (Never owned!) OUT OF REACH! (Never owned!) It was never the metal. It was always the girl. It was always the lesson.
