Pre-ChorusNot just next door, not the closest key,The loudest levers move silently,Across the map, through hidden lanes,A distant switch rewrites the veins. ChorusIt’s trans, trans—across the line,Distant hands draw the design,Sugar-coats and secret roads,Turning whispers into codes,Read the blood like city light—Find the driver, not the hype. Verse 2Glyco gears in the dark run true,N-linked loops in a midnight queue,Liver sparks, immune drums,Cell-type choirs where the signal comes. BridgeBiomarkers shine, but they can mislead,Cis says “cause,” while the charts just “read,”Triangulate—don’t fall in love,Follow the effector from glove to glove. Final ChorusIt’s trans, trans—across the line,Distant hands draw the design,From protein storms to disease routes,We tag the targets, we test the doubts,New paths open, sharp and bright—Find the driver, not the hype.
