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)

I feel things 
Will never change
Like u got me feelin trapped
I be locked in chains
And every time I wanna talk
I wanna cut my veins
Especially when I open up to you
I hate being in my head
It’s like everyday
I’m driving off a fuckin cliff
But I’m switching lanes
Cuz I Give myself a chance
So I don’t give pain 
I’m already drained
Because of you
Maybe it’s just a thought 
It’s not real life
We don’t really give a fuck
My brain is fried
Imagine it is not enough
To stop this high 
Who’s to say who had it rough
It’s not your time
Why you hit my line
I thought we’re done
I once felt alive 
But I had to run
The I felt alright 
Once we were done 
I hate The feeling gettin dragged 
All through the mud
I feel things 
Will never change
Like u got me feelin trapped
I be locked in chains
And every time I wanna talk
I wanna cut my veins
Especially when I open up to you
I hate being in my head
It’s like everyday
I’m driving off a fuckin cliff
But I’m switching lanes
Cuz I Give myself a chance
So I don’t give pain 
I’m already drained
Because of you
Things will never change
Never change
Things will never change 
Will never change
