Song Description
What is our identity? Over a fairly short time every atom in our bodies is replaced. Yet we feel we are the same person. But of course, we know we are not really the same person, since every day we become a slightly new person, a little bit at a time. What does that mean for a life-long couple? Are they now who they were before?
The cerebral cortex probably provides us with the ability to perceive what another person is thinking, and the added knowledge that they are probably thinking the same thing about us. And that they know that we know they know. It's a strange recursive loop. How can anyone ever truly know they love someone? That they are loved? How, ultimately, can they even know their own thoughts?

Lyrics
Cerebral Core Test
every time i think i know you -- you have changed
every way i think i know that i am the same
every way you think you know me -- i have changed
every time you think you know that you are the same
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
and you dream a dream, i dream it too you know, that we're dreamin'
it's just your cerebral cortex in recursion
every atom in our bodies has a certain place
every atom in our bodies will be replaced
...
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
every body on our planet has a certain place
every body on our planet will be replaced
...
every time i think i know you -- you have changed
every way i think i know that i am the same
every way you think you know me -- i have changed
every time you think you know that you are the same
....
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
and you dream a dream, i dream it too you know, that we're dreamin'
it's just your cerebral cortex in recursion
(do it again)
every time i think i know you -- you have changed
every way i think i know that i am the same
every way you think you know me -- i have changed
every time you think you know that you are the same
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
and you dream a dream, i dream it too you know, that we're dreamin'
it's just your cerebral cortex in recursion
every atom in our bodies has a certain place
every atom in our bodies will be replaced
...
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
every body on our planet has a certain place
every body on our planet will be replaced
...
every time i think i know you -- you have changed
every way i think i know that i am the same
every way you think you know me -- i have changed
every time you think you know that you are the same
....
so you think you know i know you know i know what you're thinkin'
but it's only a mirage, an illusion
and you dream a dream, i dream it too you know, that we're dreamin'
it's just your cerebral cortex in recursion
