Echo nervous system

Another song about the body catching up with what we know

Verse 1
Lightning hit my story sky
Showed me there was no one inside
But thunder kept on rolling through
Old alarms doing what they do

Chorus
My body learns slow — I let it
Old ghosts knock — I don’t let them drive
Stories still talk — I hear it
But I don’t have to be the life
Yeah the body learns slow
But truth already knows

Verse 2
Dopamine writes prediction lines
Based on ancient survival times
But every time the danger’s gone
New learning flickers on

Chorus
My body learns slow — I trust it
Even when storms still arrive
Insight came fast — I saw it
But nerves take time to realign
Yeah the body learns slow
But truth already knows

Bridge
Thought appears — I hear the sound
Not the meaning spinning round
Signal fires — nobody owns
Just weather moving through the bones

Final Chorus
My body learns slow — and that’s fine
Evolution takes its time
No self needed to survive
Just life updating while alive
Yeah the body learns slow
And freedom grows below
