Verse 1
Heat it up, watch the glow, watch the ultraviolet go!
Calculations hit a wall, watch the classical world fall!
The math is screaming "infinite," the physics says it’s wrong
We’ve been dancing to the rhythm of a dying siren song
Rayleigh and Jeans, yeah, they couldn’t find the fix
Caught in the middle of the classical tricks
But Planck is in the lab and he’s looking at the black
And he sees a little flicker and he’s never looking back!
Pre-Chorus
It’s not a wave, it’s a flicker in the dark
A revolutionary, terrifying spark
The wave is broken! The line is drawn!
Welcome to the quantum dawn!
RIOT!
Chorus 1
It’s the constant! The h in the math!
Burning a hole through the classical path!
Energy’s jumping! It’s hitting the floor!
Nothing is smooth in the world anymore!
It’s a riot of quanta! A break in the grain!
The ghost of the packet is taking the rein!
Verse 2
It’s discrete, it’s a count, it’s a set amount
Every single integer is all that’s gonna count!
The "Catastrophe" is over, the curve is finally right
But the cost of the answer is the death of the light
We’re living in a digital, quantized cage
Turning over to a terrifying page
Is it a particle? Is it a wave?
It’s the secret that the old gods took to the grave!
Pre-Chorus
It’s not a wave, it’s a flicker in the dark
A revolutionary, terrifying spark
The wave is broken! The line is drawn!
Welcome to the quantum dawn!
RIOT!
Chorus 2
It’s the constant! The h in the math!
Burning a hole through the classical path!
Energy’s jumping! It’s hitting the floor!
Nothing is smooth in the world anymore!
It’s a riot of quanta! A break in the grain!
The ghost of the packet is taking the rein!
Bridge
Yeah!
Step by step and bit by bit, I’m watching how the engine quit
The logic and the legacy are never gonna legacy-fit
Inside a world of symmetry, a fraction of a frame
We’re calling out the ghost and we’re never gonna be the same!
It’s a glitch in the velocity, a surge of animosity
The universe is breaking from a grand monstrosity!
The grain is showing! The world is glitching!
The ghost of the logic is finally twitching!
JUMP THE GAP!
BREAK THE FLOW!
HOW DEEP DOES THE REVOLUTION GO?!
RIOT! RIOT! RIOT!
Final Chorus
IT’S THE CONSTANT! THE AITCH IN THE MATH!
BURNING A HOLE THROUGH THE CLASSICAL PATH!
ENERGY’S JUMPING! IT’S HITTING THE FLOOR!
NOTHING IS SMOOTH IN THE WORLD ANYMORE!
IT’S A RIOT OF KWAN-TA! A BREAK IN THE GRAIN!
THE GHOST OF THE PACKET IS TAKING THE REIN!
