A thought-provoking rap that navigates through the complexities of identity, broken promises, and the philosophical concept of the Ship of Theseus. This powerful track explores the internal struggle of maintaining self-worth and determination amidst societal failures, drawing parallels between a ship's physical transformation and the erosion of personal identity.
Verse 1:
Once a vessel brave, a ship of promise,
Torn apart, like our dreams, we always miss,
Sails torn in the wind, civilization’s schemes,
A fading reflection of what we believed.
Chorus:
Where do we go when the pieces fall?
Lost in the waves, can we hear the call?
Shifting our forms, yet we still remain,
Fragments of a ship, drowning in the pain.
Verse 2:
Every plank replaced, every mast decayed,
Are we still the same, or just masquerade?
Building ourselves in a world so hollow,
Echoes of the past in the paths we follow.
Chorus:
Where do we go when the pieces fall?
Lost in the waves, can we hear the call?
Shifting our forms, yet we still remain,
Fragments of a ship, drowning in the pain.
Bridge:
Promises broken like glass on the shore,
Living in shadows, can’t take it no more,
Identity slipping as the tide rolls in,
The essence of self in a battle we spin.
Verse 3:
Once a captain bold, with stars in my eyes,
Now adrift with doubts as the darkness flies,
Haunted by whispers of who I could be,
But what’s left of the ship when the crew’s lost at sea?
Chorus:
Where do we go when the pieces fall?
Lost in the waves, can we hear the call?
Shifting our forms, yet we still remain,
Fragments of a ship, drowning in the pain.
Outro:
So tell me the truth, what does it mean to be whole?
A ship without purpose, a wanderer’s soul,
Yet in every fracture, there’s strength we must find,
Rebuild our essence, leave the past behind.
