[Intro]
\nCould it be…
\n“We”
\n(To the n-th degree)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt would seem
\n(We’re getting extreme)
\nKnow what I mean
\n(Raising the power)
\n… by the hour<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nCould it be…
\n“We”
\n(To the n-th degree)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nIt would seem
\n(We’ve gone extreme)
\nKnow what I mean
\n(Our are…)
\n… by the hour
\n(Raising the power)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nErasing the “our”
\nCould it be…
\n“We”
\n(Travesty)
\n… the n-th degree
\n(To the n-th degree)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nYes, having seen our “dream”
\n(We’ve gone extreme)
\n… nasty and mean
\n(Our are…)
\n… by the hour
\n(Raising the power)
\nOf devour<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nErasing the “our”
\n(But not our “are”)
\nLeave no trace?
\n(An utter disgrace)
\nCould it be…
\n“We”… are our
\n(Travesty)
\n… to the n-th degree
\n(Of the n-th degree)
\nSquare (rare)<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE SONG AND THE SCIENCE
\nThe phrase “to the n-th degree” is an idiom that means to the utmost extent, extremely, or as much as possible.\u00a0It is used to emphasize the intensity, completeness, or extremity of a quality, action, or state.<\/p>\n

Origin
\nThe expression originates from mathematics, where the variable n represents an unspecified natural number, often assumed to be a very high number, power, or degree in a sequence or equation (e.g., in an n-th degree polynomial). Raising something “to the n-th degree” implies raising it to a virtually unlimited or indefinitely high power.\u00a0The figurative use of the phrase emerged in English around the mid-19th century.<\/p>\n
