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
