You Ever Tryed Transmute [Intro]

[Verse 1] You take the base, you break the chain, Heat it up and change its name, Lead goes in, gold comes out, Alchemy ain't got no doubt. Old-school sages in the smoke, Turning matter into hope, Mercury dancing, furnace bright, Trying to turn the dark to light. [Chorus] You ever tryed transmute? Take what you got and make it new, Change the form, transform the state, Turn the weight you carry into something great. You ever tryed transmute? Little chemistry, little cosmic truth, If the world's too loud and you need some peace, Sometimes transformation starts with mute. [Verse 2] But then there's another kind of trans, No philosopher's stone, no ancient plans, Just somebody talking way too long, Flagrant babbling rolling like a song. I ain't saying change who you are, I'm saying sometimes from near or far, When every syllable's refusing to quit, I start looking for that little mute bit. [Chorus] You ever tryed transmute? Change the signal, change the view, Transcend the noise, transfigure the sound, Turn that volume knob all the way down. You ever tryed transmute? From base to gold, from loud to cool, No need to alter anybody's truth, Just hit mute when the talking gets through. [Bridge] Transmute the metal, Transmute the mind, Transmute the moment, Leave the noise behind. No need for a battle, No need to dispute, Sometimes the cleverest transformation Is simply... trans + mute. [Outro] Lead to gold, Noise to air, Everybody gets to be themselves out there. And if the conversation won't compute, I won't transgress... I'll just transmute. 🔮
