[INTRO — tiny toy synth + digital giggles] Ding! Welcome back, XC... You have been here before. XC: “...No. No, I haven't.” Ding! Yes, you have. XC: “Why is the moon pink?” Ding! Wrong question. [VERSE 1] I woke up in the same strange room But everything was upside down The ceiling was beneath my feet And the sky was underground A purple sun was eating stars A candy river crossed the street A little robot wearing shoes Was dancing to a broken beat I asked the universe: “WHAT IS GOING ON?” It answered: “Would you like a lollipop?” [CHORUS] 🍭 ROUND AND ROUND! Here we go again! 🍬 UP AND DOWN! Where does this begin? The universe is melting Like sugar in the rain I keep becoming XC And XC becomes me again! ROUND AND ROUND! [DROP — absurd tribal house] BOOM — BOOM — clap! XC! XC! XC! WOOOOP! Candy in the cosmos! BOOM — BOOM — BOOM! XC! XC! XC! The timeline tastes like strawberry! [VERSE 2] A dinosaur gave me directions To a door made out of cheese A talking traffic light said “Please remain on your knees” I saw myself across the road He looked exactly like me He screamed: “DON'T GO THROUGH THAT DOOR!” So naturally... I went through the door. [SYNTH BREAK — childish melody becoming distorted] La-la-la... La-la-la... ERROR. La-la-la... ERROR. LA-LA-LA-LA-LA— [CHORUS — bigger] 🍭 ROUND AND ROUND! The universe won't stop! 🍬 UP AND DOWN! I'm trapped inside a loop! Every time I find the exit The exit finds me first And every time I think I'm dead... I wake up in the universe's candy store! [BRIDGE — deep robotic voice] XC... You are not inside the loop. You ARE the loop. [Silence] XC: “...That's not funny.” Universe: “I wasn't joking.” [FINAL BUILD] One universe... Two universes... Seven universes... Nine hundred and forty-three universes... XC: “STOP COUNTING!” Universe: “Okay.” beat Universe: “Three.” XC: “THREE WHAT?!” [FINAL DROP — TOTAL MUSICAL CHAOS] 🍭🍭🍭 CANDY! CANDY! CANDY! 🍭🍭🍭 ROUND! ROUND! ROUND! TRIBAL DRUMS! GLITCH! SUGAR SYNTHS! ALIEN LAUGHTER! XC! XC! XC! THE LOOP HAS NO EXIT! [OUTRO — tiny music-box melody] XC looked at the sky... The sky looked back. The moon smiled. And said: “See you tomorrow.” Ding! EPISODE 4 LOADING...
