Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In the embryonic chamber, paired pathways form
Left and right aortic arches, mirrored in the storm
Fourth arch on the left side claims its destined throne
While the right retreats in shadows, leaves the left alone

[Chorus]
Left fourth stays, right fourth fades
That's the normal cardiac parade
But when the script gets rearranged
Right persists, left gets estranged
Conotruncal chaos follows near
When the wrong arch volunteers

[Verse 2]
Picture twin highways branching from the beating core
Evolution chose the left lane, closed the right-side door
But nature sometimes stutters, picks the mirror twin
Right aortic arch ascending brings the trouble in

[Chorus]
Left fourth stays, right fourth fades
That's the normal cardiac parade
But when the script gets rearranged
Right persists, left gets estranged
Conotruncal chaos follows near
When the wrong arch volunteers

[Bridge]
Truncus arteriosus lurking in the wings
Right-sided arches herald what destruction brings
The partnership is poison, marked by strong connection
Developmental rebellion breeds cardiovascular defection

[Verse 3]
Symmetry's illusion crumbles in the chest
Mirror-image plumbing puts the heart to test
When the wrong arch conquers, malformation's price
Conotruncal syndromes roll the loaded dice

[Chorus]
Left fourth stays, right fourth fades
That's the normal cardiac parade
But when the script gets rearranged
Right persists, left gets estranged
Conotruncal chaos follows near
When the wrong arch volunteers

[Outro]
Remember arch selection shapes the cardiac fate
Left is liberation, right seals truncal fate
