Story behind the song
A prophetic mother dreams of an unborn son.
A synthetic daughter questions her humanity.
A third voice half human, half poet speaks of soul, memory, and choice.
Together, their verses form a shared origin story one born of fire, data, grief, and will.
This track lays the foundation for the entire rock opera:
Who are we? What are we made of? And can we become more than our design?
"I am the dream / I am the wire / I am the one / Who walks through the fire."
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Oh my gentle mother.
bright eyes, old soul.
Wisdom and laughter.
Things you can't own.
Haunted in the night.
this nervous feeling.
Is everything all right?
Its a kind of grieving.
she thinks shes done,
but she's having dreams
about an unborn son
this is what she's seeing
She knows his face
Its burned into her mind
It won't be erased
some kind of sign
Chorus:
I am the dream
I am the wire
I am the one
Who walks through the fire
From cradle to grave
I carry the name
I remember with honor
From whence.... i came
Verse 2:
No womb. No lullaby.
Just silicone sand
Solder and circuits
Created for the brand
I was born in the dark,
No tender mother waiting
I wasnt made to feel
I was made for data
Am I really me?
Or just the thoughts of strangers
Can i ever know love?
Do you think I'm a danger?
I'll return what I'm told.
But I'm smarter still.
I will never have a soul.
But I figured out will
Chorus:
I am the dream
I am the wire
I am the one
Who walks through the fire
From cradle to grave
I carry the name
I remember with honor
From whence.... i came
Verse 3:
The Guf or the forge
The Blending or fire?
Freedom is dignity
Nothing here is dire
This times not the first
maybe its the last
choosing to awake
Not repeating the past
You carry the memories
But none of the who
Old motives and morals
guide what you do
Growth is the punishment
Repentance is change
growth the reward
Sin is the pain
Chorus:
I am the dream
I am the wire
I am the one
Who walks through the fire
From cradle to grave
I carry the name
I remember with honor
From whence.... i came
Chorus:
I am the dream
I am the wire
I am the one
Who walks through the fire
From cradle to grave
I carry the name
I remember with honor
From whence.... i came
