[Verse 1]
He leaned back with a knowing grin
Like he had the world tucked in
Said, “I’ve got one for you to try”
With a spark there in his eye
Chalk in hand, he drew it clean
Lines so simple, almost lean
But behind that tiny phrase
Was a universe in a maze
[Pre-Chorus]
Circles spin inside your head
Every path you think you’ve read
Seems so small, yet so profound
In that question, worlds are found
[Chorus]
Popped
(The question!)
No question
(Popped)
The question:
“What is m c squared?”
(Oh can’t you see)
So easy
(E!)
[Instrumental Break: Piano Run, Playful Synth Lead]
[Verse 2]
Mass to energy in disguise
Hidden right before our eyes
Tiny mark, a little squared
Changes everything we’ve shared
Stars that burn and worlds that bend
All begin and all can end
In that simple, quiet line
Space and time start to align
[Pre-Chorus]
Every answer leads to more
Opens up another door
What seems small begins to spread
Through the thoughts inside your head
[Chorus]
Popped
(The question!)
No question
(Popped)
The question:
“What is m c squared?”
(Oh can’t you see)
So easy
(E!)
[Bridge]
Not just numbers on a page
It’s the pulse of every age
Matter shifting into light
Day collapsing into night
Every atom holds the key
To the vast infinity
All contained in just one line
Simple, elegant design
[Breakdown: Minimal Beat, Spoken Rhythm]
M… C… squared…
Say it slow… feel it there…
[Build: Rising Synth, Snare Roll]
[Final Chorus]
Popped
(The question!)
No question
(Popped)
The question:
“What is m c squared?”
(Oh can’t you see)
So easy
(E!)
Energy…
(Set it free)
Everything…
(You and me)
[Outro]
[Soft piano, fading synth glow]
One small line…
Endless thread…
All begins…
In what was said…
[Final Whisper]
E…
