Mysterious sounding song about how weird our world is when we look at it on the smallest scales, for example inside an atom, where quantum physics prevails.

The song is about the realm of quantum mechanics, the theory of which is fine for doing calculations, but utterly bizarre if you think about its implications too hard. Reality gets dicey on scales smaller than an atom. The songs describes how human logic fails, probability prevails, and particles seem to know to take opposite properties to their partner particles even when the two are out of contact.

1. We search for a description of reality that fits our macroscopic mentality
Strip the world down to its finest scales, but that where normal logic fails
Electrons with no individuality, photons with wave-particle duality
Entangled in a logical fatality!

Chorus:
I'm so confused! Can't figure out what it means
My mind's abused, logic caught in between
Cause-and-effect has a deep defect
Serendipity rules and we're big fools
To think it should make any sense
From our side of the size-scale fence

2. The unobserved filled with uncertainty, don't know exact position and velocity
Outcome of measurement like throwing dice: repeat, yet you don't get the same result twice
Determinism yields to probability, can't imagine such unpredictability
Must be some mental inability . . .

[chorus]

Ending:
It's no use . . . it's mind abuse . . . I'm so confused . . .
Universe, what are you doing to my mind?!?
