[Intro]
Quantum mechanics
doesn't work the way you think
You can alter the outcome
In less time…
than it takes to blink…
Here’s how.
[Verse]
Every compass has one needle
Spinning on a central axis
Many are lost in the wilderness
Until they meet Charaxes
The system gives you feedback
Though the signs are often subtle
Keep your eyes wide open
And you'll avoid a stern rebuttal
Every choice becomes a waypoint
Every fear applies the brakes
Every dream's another signal
To remain vigilant and awake
[Bridge]
If you don't take the wheel
You'll be a dog chasing a bone
When you're as far away
As humanly possible...
That's when E.T. ...
must phone home.
[Chorus]
You don't need another holiday
You don't need a different map
The universe was never broken
It's your attention that collapsed
Turn the wheel one single degree
And everything will shift
A single step in the right direction
Prevents incremental drift
The warning lights are faithful
The sirens sound like terror
Most mistakes are not mechanical
They're due to pilot error
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Beacons have a purpose
Currents have a flow
Every storm’s a faithful teacher
Delivering what calm could never show
If the dashboard’s flashing wildly
And warning sounds are blaring
Perhaps there’s nothing wrong…
[Bridge]
If you don't take charge of steering
You'll be a dog chasing a bone
When you're as far away as possible
That's when E.T. ...
must phone home.
[Chorus]
You don't need another holiday
You don't need a different map
The universe was never broken
It's your attention that collapsed
Turn the wheel one single degree
And everything will shift
A single step in the right direction
Prevents incremental drift
The warning lights are faithful
The sirens sound like terror
Most mistakes are not mechanical
They're due to pilot error
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
You can spend your whole existence
Collecting trophies and shiny medals
Building better systems of control
But forgetting how to pedal
If you don't take charge of steering
You'll be like a dog chasing a bone
When you're as far away as possible...
That's when E.T. ..
Must phone home.
[Outro]
Hello,
