The Speed of Light
Cinematic arpeggio EDM track about the speed of light as the universe's hard speed limit. Nothing with mass ever reaches it, told through verses that shrink toward a fixed, unmovable final line.
Push a rocket harder, push it more, Add more fuel, open every door, Faster, faster, watch the numbers climb, Ninety percent of it, given enough time.
Ninety-nine percent, if you push again, The fuel gets heavier the closer that you get, Faster costs more than the speed before it, The engine strains against a wall it hasn't hit yet.
Ninety-nine point nine, and still not there, The gap gets smaller, but it never disappears, Every bit of speed costs more than the last, The universe itself is holding the line.
Closer, closer, and still one line stands, One number, fixed, that nothing with mass commands,
Light alone gets to run that fast, The speed of light, the only one who's cast, One eighty-six thousand miles a second, exactly, Not a rocket, not a wish, not a hope, only light,
Light.
