Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The trader watches morning news unfold
Protesters march, their banners raised in gold
But here's the twist that Soros understood
The march itself can spark the fire it should

When cameras roll and headlines start to scream
Reality bends around the public dream
The crisis grows not from the roots below
But from the very act of letting people know

[Chorus]
Round and round, beliefs reshape the ground
What we think becomes what we find
Reflexivity, the loop that sets us free
From linear cause and effect confined
The story changes as it's being told
The future's written by the minds that hold

[Verse 2]
A currency starts trembling at dawn
Speculators whisper, "Something's going on"
Their whispers turn to shouts, then panic calls
The weakness they imagined builds the walls

Political polls predict a candidate's doom
The prediction empties out the voting room
Support erodes because the chart shows red
The graph becomes the truth it always said

[Chorus]
Round and round, beliefs reshape the ground
What we think becomes what we find
Reflexivity, the loop that sets us free
From linear cause and effect confined
The story changes as it's being told
The future's written by the minds that hold

[Bridge]
Coverage trumps the event it claims to show
The medium becomes the undertow
Feedback loops in every price and vote
Perception steers the ship, not what it wrote

Fundamentals shift when minds decide they will
The observer's eye can make the mountain hill
What starts as fear crystallizes real
The wheel of thinking makes the axle wheel

[Chorus]
Round and round, beliefs reshape the ground
What we think becomes what we find
Reflexivity, the loop that sets us free
From linear cause and effect confined
The story changes as it's being told
The future's written by the minds that hold

[Outro]
Every trader learns to see the bend
Where thinking starts and thinking ends
The loop that feeds itself complete
Where mind and market finally meet
