[Verse 1]
The market's moving up today, the headlines read "all clear"
But George Soros saw the twist that most would never hear
When traders read the news and buy, they push the prices high
The fundamentals start to shift, beliefs and truth collide
[Chorus]
Round and round, the feedback flows
What we think becomes what's real
What is real shapes what we know
Reflexivity's the wheel
Beliefs change facts, facts change beliefs
Nothing's quite the way it seems
In this loop that never sleeps
Markets dance with human dreams
[Verse 2]
A small protest hits the street, just fifty people strong
The cameras catch the angry crowd, the story spreads along
Now thousands join the movement that the coverage made seem big
The crisis that they're fighting for, the media helped to rig
[Chorus]
Round and round, the feedback flows
What we think becomes what's real
What is real shapes what we know
Reflexivity's the wheel
Beliefs change facts, facts change beliefs
Nothing's quite the way it seems
In this loop that never sleeps
Markets dance with human dreams
[Bridge]
The trader sees these loops everywhere
Every price reflects a shared belief
When confidence breaks down, the crash appears
The fear creates the very grief
Perception drives reality
Reality shapes perception back
This endless circularity
Keeps fundamentals off their track
[Verse 3]
The coverage of the protest grew much bigger than the crowd
The narrative took on a life, the story spoke out loud
What started small became the truth through cameras and through screens
The reflexive loop had made the news more real than it had seemed
[Chorus]
Round and round, the feedback flows
What we think becomes what's real
What is real shapes what we know
Reflexivity's the wheel
Beliefs change facts, facts change beliefs
Nothing's quite the way it seems
In this loop that never sleeps
Markets dance with human dreams
[Outro]
In politics and trading floors
The same pattern plays each day
What participants believe
Shapes the game they think they play
