Fragments
The Stupendium Freeced Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
It's beginning to all make sense
But on the periodic table
Equilibrium ain't that dense
So you're top of every playbill? You've
Been living as the main event?
Live a life on red carpet
You can't be surprised when you
When it's pulled out from under your feet
Fronting parades to confronting defeat
Dumped in the rain unfamiliar streets
But there's nothing to gain
By admitting you're beat
Maybe it ain't quitе as grim as it seems
Don't get to choose the
Loosе screws you inherit
That's more than a face in
The mirror you're seeing
Together you've got the tools to repair it
Might just be a Lombax with a wrench
I was sat on the bench
Now I'm back with a vengeance
Smashed my dimension
So Ratchet's suggestion?
Mechanical emperors should cash
Their pensions
Graduate from the school of harder knocks
Than the Grade-A plates of my Carbonox
When I take straight aim
With my blaster shots
The reports say rain with some parts of bots
When realities collide
It's appealing to think
There's green on the other side
Well you're wielding the Sprinkler
The world's what you make
It's your fate's not ingrained
Every crack in the paint's still
A piece of the picture
Every crack in the paint's still
A piece of the picture
Look past the pieces and you'll see
There's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then
You're thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one
That you intended to be?
Well a Rivet's what you need when
Things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in
Every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders
Then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of
All that you know
Well you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
So it seems your outlook can be warped
Whole schemes cut off like some jean shorts
Keep tracking 'em down and the heat source
Leads you to keen sword
Swings at machine sorts keep breathing
It's all gonna pass in a season
Believe it and call it a flash
In the pan and release it
Let a thought stop with a dash
And you'll leave it all looking
Real small in the past
A Shatterbomb to your artwork
Can make it feel like your heart burst
It's hard to know what to start first
Each step becomes a departure
And you may feel like a drifter
Resist a place in the mixture
Is this a crack in the rift or
Another piece of the picture
Another piece of the picture
Look past the pieces and you'll see
There's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then
You're thinking one-dimensionally
So this world is not the one
That you intended to be?
Well a Rivet's what you need when
Things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in
Every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders
Then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of
All that you know
Well you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
There's one thing rarer than Raritanium
That's a fate that don't seem alien
No matter how long you've
Been on that grind
Life soon find ways of derailing
Any Infobot will say the same again
If a legacy's planting seeds
You'd better believe I'm leaving these
Enemies in leaves and geraniums
Though chance may choose our canvas
Only we can paint the hues
But your flaws don't mean you're broken
They're just deeper shades of you
Combination of Sagan and Bob Ross
No mistakes when repainting the cosmos
If things seem grey, it's the
Start of a gradient
Can't make hay without raking the compost
Where dimensions fragment and
The shards reconnect
You'll find you're not defined
By the past they reflect
Leaving one world behind
Can be hard to expect
But you'll work out in time a
New path in the next
When your reality cracks
It can feel like forever
Trapped in the gaps as the pieces are severed
If you feel you could lapse all
You need is a tether
To that team at your back
You can keep it together
Look past the pieces and you'll see
There's more adventure to seize
Don't believe it? Then
You're thinking one-dimensionally
So your world is on the
Brink of some Nefarious scheme?
Well a Rivet's what you need when
Things might tear at the seams
It's your turn to revolt in
Every turn of the bolt
Take the world on your shoulders
Then turn it to gold
When you've crashed into fragments of
All that you know
Well you're far from alone
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
We're just a rift apart a rift apart
And with every new world that
Unfurls you will find
There is more to your life
Than the one you designed
There is far more to fight for
Than what you are leaving behind
The song "Fragments" by The Stupendium Freeced explores themes of resilience, overcoming challenges, and finding one's purpose in a changing world. The lyrics convey a sense of instability and uncertainty, symbolized by the periodic table. The singer is portrayed as someone who was once in the spotlight but is now facing adversity and unfamiliarity.
Despite the grim circumstances, the lyrics suggest that there is hope and the power to rebuild and repair. The mention of a Lombax with a wrench and the school of harder knocks imply that the singer possesses the necessary tools and determination to take action and seek revenge.
The song emphasizes the concept of multiple realities colliding and the potential for growth and adventure beyond one's initial expectations. It encourages the listener to look beyond the fragmented pieces of their experiences and see the bigger picture. The mention of a Rivet, which refers to a mechanical component, symbolizes the need for resilience and the ability to hold things together when faced with adversity.
The lyrics also highlight the importance of embracing change, even if it feels uncomfortable or uncertain. The reference to a crack in the rift or another piece of the picture suggests that every setback or challenge can be an opportunity for growth and evolution.
The final verses of the song encourage the listener to recognize the potential within themselves and their ability to shape their own destiny. It emphasizes the idea that life can derail even the most well-laid plans, but with the support of others and a determination to keep moving forward, one can overcome any obstacles and find a purpose worth fighting for.
Overall, "Fragments" is a song about resilience, embracing change, and finding solace in the belief that even when reality cracks, there is always the opportunity to create something new and meaningful.

VERSE 01:
So things seem stable
It’s beginning to all make sense
But on the periodic table
Equilibrium ain’t that dense
So you’re top of every playbill?
You’ve been living as the main event?
Live a life on red carpets you can’t be surprised
When you ask where the rug went
When it’s pulled out from under your feet
Fronting parades to confronting defeat
Dumped in the rain, unfamiliar streets
But there’s nothing to gain by admitting you’re beat
Maybe it ain’t quite as grim as it seems
Don’t get to choose the loose screws you inherit
That’s more than a face in the mirror you’re seeing

Pika the Mimikyu
This is what you consider a smaller project?
Sure this video isn't as visually outstanding as your others, but that doesn't change the fact that this song is probably one of the best songs you've ever made.
"And though chance may choose our canvas
Only we can paint the hues
But your flaws don't mean you're broken
They're just deeper shades of you"
That is a masterpiece of a line. You're a genius. If I say that quote to someone no one would guess it was from a Ratchet and Clank fan song.

Favorite lines of this song:
"When realities collide
It’s appealing to think there’s
Green on the other side
Well you’re wielding the sprinkler
The world’s what you make it
Your fate’s not ingrained
Every crack in the paint’s
Still a piece of the picture"
-Look, I'll be totally honest; the idea of the multiverse is basically my religion, and this whole bit summed up exactly why it is. It doesn't matter how much life might suck, there are countless universes where it doesn't, where every dream and desire you've had are reality, but more importantly, it still doesn't mean that your own life is meaningless.
"Though chance may choose our canvas
Only we can paint the hues
But your flaws don’t mean you’re broken
They’re just deeper shades of you"
-This... this is just beautiful.
"Where dimensions fragment and the shards reconnect
You’ll find you’re not defined by the past they reflect
Leaving one world behind can be hard to expect
But you’ll work out in time a new path in the next
When your reality cracks, it can feel like forever
Trapped in the gaps as the pieces are severed
If you feel you could lapse all you need is a tether
To that team at your back, you can keep it together"
-No matter what happens, no matter how things changed, whether in a small scale of your life or a large form of dimensions fragmenting, the important thing is to always have someone you can rely on.
"And with every new world that unfurls you will find
There is more to your life than the one you designed
There is far more to fight for than what you are leaving behind"
-What else is there to say about this? :')

This...
This song hit me in a way I never expected. The lyrics are gorgeous and it's so well composed..-
It hits so close to home too.
Even without its connection to the game, or even context from the game itself, it is capable of being a great song all by itself.
This has genuinely become a personal favorite and a big comfort song for me. Thank you.
I think I'll be putting this in the pile of songs to hold close for a long, long time.
Edit: Going through some rough times right now, but this song is helping me cope. Thank you for creating it.

You made a truly great song, good luck with the move!
Felis Impurrator
I always love how the lyrics are 1) meaningful on their own, 2) loaded with puns, and 3) clearly indicative of having played and understood the game instead of just hopping onto the aesthetic. Quality as always.
Enzo Eijsermans
Nice song Stupendium! I've not played the game a lot yet, but that doesn't take away from the quality of this absolute bop.
A Everett
Can you pls do another ddlc spng
Susannah Coulson
So beautiful. This song is very personal to me as well, thanks for making this. Keep being awesome.
NOWABO
Dang...
When he's not writing about evil corporations and inescapable authoritarian systems, Stupendium can write some really emotional and existentially deep songs...
Alexander Lloyd Mendoza
I know right. Vending machine of love really makes you think
Johnalogue
@Alexander Lloyd Mendoza That one was also about evil corporations and inescapable authoritarian systems, I think.

@Noah Petten 66 (STUDENT) tbh I never understood why shakespeare gets so much attention but stupes is overlooked, even though he's a million times better with wordplay etc.
