Hold Yer Tongue

This electric rock anthem traces Faraday’s breakthroughs—from his 1821 motor and benzene discovery to electromagnetic induction and the Faraday Effect—set against a restless 4 AM backdrop where science meets sound. With references to motors, transformers, and the “modern spine” of technology, it celebrates the legacy of the Father of Electricity in a blaze of lyrical voltage.


Lyrics:

London, 1791, a blacksmith’s son begun,  
Binding books, but chasing sparks that run.  
1821, the motor turned,  
Magnetic force made the copper burn.  

By ’25, benzene’s ring was clear,  
Organic chemistry shifting gear.  
He split the bonds, he wrote the laws,  
Electrolysis carved the cause.  

It’s 4AM, the wires ignite,  
Induction coils in the sleepless night.  
The Father of Electricity plays,  
We live today in Faraday’s rays.  

1831, the breakthrough came,  
Magnetic flux, induction’s flame.  
A moving field, a current born,  
The age of power was now sworn.  

1845, the light bent slow,  
Faraday’s Effect let the secret show.  
Magnetism twisting beams of sight,  
He bound the dark with waves of light.  

It’s 4AM, the wires ignite,  
Induction coils in the sleepless night.  
The Father of Electricity plays,  
We live today in Faraday’s rays.  

Motors, transformers, the world’s design,  
Telegraphs, circuits, our modern spine.  
Satellites hum, computers breathe,  
Faraday planted every seed.  

It’s 4AM, the future’s awake,  
Electric hearts for history’s sake.  
The Father of Electricity paved the way,  
We ride the storm of Faraday.  

Turn it loud, let the current play,  
We’re wired alive by Faraday.

Faraday's Rays (Michael Faraday, Father of electricity)

Doubt crywank

Time bender
I feel your power when you're far away
Slowing down my time without you
I'm losing track of all the days

Oh, time bender
One look and my heart's beating faster
I touch your hand and time goes slower
One smile I'm happy ever after

Getting close to you could take some time
But relativity is on my side
With some patience I could make you mine
Time bender
Spend some time on me

Oh, time bender
You keep the mathematicians busy
Recalculating their equations
On your effects that make me dizzy

For you, time bender
Every time I have you near me
I've gotta set back all my clocks
To witness present time more clearly

Maybe soon I'll beat the second hand
That keeps fast-forwarding my careful plans
To do the things you somehow do to me
Time bender
Spend some time on me
Time bender
Spend some time on me

Maybe I'll Wait
