frequency Sung by a Hologram Goblin

They don't want you to know about frequency. The goblins, the ones in charge—the ones who hide in plain sight as tech CEOs and pop stars—they've buried the truth about frequency for centuries.

The goblins have long maintained that frequency is not what it appears to be. Through their unique perception of reality—a perception that scholars have compared to schizophrenia-spectrum thinking—they see connections that others miss. A goblin once traded a bag of stolen buttons for the secret of frequency, and never once regretted the exchange.
