MEANING OF WHAT (MY SOUL)

[Title: MEANING OF WHAT] [Intro – 32 bars, only J.S. Bach organ sample, no beat, no vocals] [Hook – male vocal, low, raspy, tired] Yeah… got the Bach on the beat, heavy, huh Symphony of fallen men, can you feel it, bruh Searchin' for the meaning in a world so deceitful Maybe death's the only truth, maybe life's just a preview [Verse 1 – male vocal, aggressive, gritty] Woke up in a system with a glitch in the code Every message that I spit is a story of a load Empty promises of heaven, nightmares of the road Got a soul full of cement, heart been errored, overload I see the man on the corner sellin' dreams to the lost I see the queen in the tower countin' money, never see the cost They talkin' 'bout a future, but the present is a gloss Just a temporary state before we all get tossed The same sun that shines on the saint and the thief The same cold that bites the believer and the chief I've been losing sleep, tryin' to find a little peace In a world that guarantees a lease but owns the deed [Chorus – male vocal, more melodic but still raspy, voice cracks] Searchin' for the meaning of this meaningless existence Can you tell me what the point is? Show me some assistance We're just particles of stardust chasin' paper and a token At the end of every tunnel, ain't no light, the silence broken [Instrumental break – 16 bars, only J.S. Bach organ sample, no beat, no vocals] [Verse 2 – male vocal, more aggressive, shouting] You think your social credit, your status, your creed? Just a pixel in a program that is watchin' you bleed I see the false prophets on the altars of the screen Sellin' happiness for data, turnin' man into a fiend I sacrificed my morals at the altar of survival Became a master of make-believe, a master of denial They want a simple answer, I just grumble and I mumble 'Cause the truth is a sharp knife and the world is a big fumble My reflection in the mirror is a stranger in a skin Livin' in a haunted maze that I will never win I'm tryin' to find the exit, tryin' to find an honest way But the only peace I ever get is when I fade away [Chorus – repeat, with layered vocals, voice cracks] Searchin' for the meaning of this meaningless existence Can you tell me what the point is? Show me some assistance We're just particles of stardust chasin' paper and a token At the end of every tunnel, ain't no light, the silence broken [Bridge – beat drops, only J.S. Bach organ and deep bass, spoken word, intimate whisper] …you see, it's not about the answer It's about the fact that the question never mattered This whole thing is a scam, man We're ghosts haunting a machine that's already rusted So go ahead. Chase your ghost [Instrumental solo – 24 bars, only J.S. Bach organ sample, wide stereo, reverb, no beat, no vocals] [Final chorus – male vocal, screaming, desperate] SEARCHIN' FOR THE MEANING OF THIS MEANINGLESS EXISTENCE CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THE POINT IS? SHOW ME SOME ASSISTANCE WE'RE JUST PARTICLES OF STARDUST CHASIN' PAPER AND A TOKEN AT THE END OF EVERY TUNNEL, AIN'T NO LIGHT, THE SILENCE BROKEN [Outro – beat fades, only J.S. Bach organ sample, vinyl crackle, then silence, male whisper] Nothing… ain't that something [silence]
