Beneath Our Name

♪ ♫ Intro ♫ ♪ A name… is just something given to us. But does it really say anything about us? About what we think… what we feel… what we truly are beneath all of this? We spend our whole lives attached to a name… A face… a body… But none of that really explains who we are. Most people never even ask themselves. ♪ ♫ Verse 1 ♫ ♪ Everybody moving while the time goes slow Tryna make a living, never asking more, you know? Same cadence, same loops, same controlled flow Blinded by routines they don’t even know That’s not what we dreamed about when we were young Waking up at fifty wondering where our lives have gone Nobody really takes the time to ask what made them who they are Too caught up surviving to ask themselves who they truly are ♪ ♫ Hook ♫ ♪ Be different, not to stand apart But because no two minds beat the same Everybody acting from the start Till they forget who they became ♪ ♫ Instrumental interlude ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Verse 2 ♫ ♪ Sometimes I sit alone late at night in my forties Realizing how fast the time went by, it honestly scares me My name is Netak, I’m forty years old, and this is my body But somehow… I know that isn’t truly me If the body fades and the name disappears What remains after all these years? I’m kind, I stay calm, I try to stay real with people I respect women, stay loyal, always keep my word Still single, a little alone, maybe way too much Spend too many nights overthinking stuff Then I realize I rarely give to charity Some of them help, but half of them feel fake to me I help sometimes through little things in everyday life Maybe just because deep down it helps me feel alright Then it hits me… I still haven’t done anything great And suddenly I feel so small, it kinda breaks my brain So I write these thoughts down just to escape this chain Thinking ’bout the world and the state of the human race How we create so much beauty while feeding so much hate Is it really me… Or something I want you to see? ♪ ♫ Bridge / Outro transition ♫ ♪ We’re spiritual souls with a physical frame Tryna make sense of a world gone strange Locked inside the physical dimension Barely understanding our reflection We spend our lives inside the surface Never asking what’s beneath our name ♪ ♫ Instrumental break ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Instrumental build ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Final Hook ♫ ♪ Be different, not to stand apart But because no two minds beat the same Everybody acting from the start Till they forget who they became Is it really me… Or something I want you to see? Be different, not to stand apart But because no two minds beat the same Everybody acting from the start Till they forget who they became Is it really me… Or something I want you to see?
