Tetradecahedron

About Tetradecahedron

On Friday, February 24, 2023, I released Tetradecahedron, my first ever song, on Spotify and other major streaming platforms! The song is...really weird; the music features a lot of synthesized instruments and its melody is a little out there. (due to my lack of knowledge about music theory at the time) I remember trying to purposefully make the song's lyrics weird and confusing. Also, due to the lyrics' scientific nature, I've been asked several times if I had to write the song as a school projet! But, that rumor is not true, it was all my idea from the very beginning, the first phase of my plan to RULE THE UNIVERSE.

The basic plot of the song is this: a group of 14 scientists discover a new shape called the tetradecahedron. (which is acually a real shape with 14 sides) Upon observing the shape, the scientists realize that it is actually crucial to the functioning of the entire Universe...or something like that.

For the longest time, I had always wanted to release a full-fledged album on all platforms. That hope was always on my bucket list alongside things like "making it" as a streamer and getting a book published. However, I realized that to accomplish that dream, I would have to start small. Thus paved the way for Tetradecahedron, my first officially released single! I don't remember exactly when I started working on the song, and the original project files are lost to time after my hard drive died in Summer 2023, but I know that I was working on the song since at least mid-January 2023, as that is when I created the album artwork. After finishing and releasing Tetradecahedron to the world, I started to put together the aforementioned album under the name "Xylosaurus." However, I ended up postponing the project to a later date after only releasing 2 singles since, quite honestly, I got bored of it. I would finally accomplish my dream of releasing an album nearly a year later in Summer 2024 when Surface of the Sun released!

Lyrics

The Earth as we know it is not a globe, but neither is it flat
Rather, it is a mysterious new shape that has captivated the minds of scientists
Known only as the Tetradecahedron

It's a six-syllable polyhedron shape
And it makes up me and you like some cosmic tape
It's the Universe's diagram with everything inside
And the parts that it shows are amplified with cyanide

A cubed
Multiplied by two times the square ɾoot of six, times the square ɾoot of three Plus three times the square ɾoot of 24
Plus 14 times
The square ɾoot of three all divided by four equals
6.821451822
A cubed

(That's the formula for the meaning of life)

After discovering the shape, the group of 14 scientists gathered together to observe its mysterious properties
They found that the tetɾadecahedron was ɾesponsible for all of the natural wonders that our survival depends on
The DNA sequences in our cells, atoms, black holes, and even existence at all would cease to exist without the tetɾadecahedron

There are 14 sides in the third-dimension
And that's way too much for our comprehension
There are two hexagons and 12 pentagons
And together they make Humanity their pawns

A 14-sided apocalypses
To contɾol all of our politics
An object of pure benevolence
No one can doubt its prevalence

In Mankind's work and philosoρhy
I'll go insane for its proρhecy
Just to find its end or meet my end
Nobody knows how I'll contend

There's not much more time left for me ɾhyme
Just 30 more seconds for the music to chime
But the tetɾadecahedron will always live on
It never ɾuns out unlike this song

It's a six-syllable polyhedron shape
And it makes up me and you, like some cosmic tape
It's the Universe's diagram with everything inside
And the parts that it shows are amplified with cyanide
