"Beryllium," a song from the album Periodic One, a project where musician Kurt Holes creates experimental pop music based on the periodic table elements. The lyrics use evocative imagery to describe the element beryllium, highlighting its properties like being light, strong, and rare, while also touching on its deeper, almost mystical significance. The recurring refrain "Beeeeeeee Be this is the key / Hidden deep in alchemy" suggests beryllium holds a secret or fundamental importance, linking science and the esoteric. Ultimately, the song appears to celebrate the unique characteristics and almost magical nature of beryllium.
