Lyrics SRT:

1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000
[Intro]
[instrumental]

1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
[Chorus]
Time bends, space unwinds,
A paradox for searching minds.

2
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Beyond our grasp, a hidden key,
The fourth dimension waits to be.

3
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
[Verse 1]
They taught you lines of nil extent,
And planes that lack all consequence.

4
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:35,000
A cube, they say, can’t truly be,
Unless it lasts eternally!

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:41,000
But I have seen beyond the veil,
Where time and space begin to sail.

6
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
[Verse 2]
But surely solids must exist!
Real things, a tangible tryst!

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:54,000
An instant cube? Absurdity!
This logic’s lost on even me!

8
00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:01,000
[Chorus]
Time bends, space unwinds,
A paradox for searching minds.

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Beyond our grasp, a hidden key,
The fourth dimension waits to be.

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:13,000
[Bridge]
Presentation below the threshold lies,
A fleeting glimpse before your eyes.

11
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:19,000
We cannot see what’s passing by,
Like spinning wheels against the sky.

12
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,000
[Verse 3]
It's not a trick, it's plain to see!
Time is just space, eternally!

13
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Move freely through dimensions three,
But gravity binds you, you can’t flee!

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
Yet mental journeys, swift and bright,
Recall the past with sudden light.

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
[Verse 4]
If time's a dimension, why this plight?
Why can’t we travel through the night?

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:50,000
Why bound to now, this fleeting grace,
Trapped in this singular space?

17
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:56,000
[Chorus]
Time bends, space unwinds,
A paradox for searching minds.

18
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Beyond our grasp, a hidden key,
The fourth dimension waits to be.

19
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:08,000
[Bridge]
Perhaps one day we’ll break the chain,
And navigate time's boundless plain!

20
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:15,000
Accelerate or turn around,
New worlds of wonder will abound!

21
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:21,000
[Outro]
The fourth dimension… waits to be…
A mystery for you and me…

22
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Time bends… space unwinds…
Lost in the echoes of our minds.
