Stranded from The Climb by Fairbanks
“Stranded” is a haunting and introspective journey through isolation, existential questioning, and the search for meaning. The track chronicles a decade-long personal odyssey, exploring the struggle to reconcile inner turmoil, suicidal ideation, and the desire to transcend the limitations of the flesh. Through vivid imagery and raw vulnerability, the lyrics depict moments of despair, fleeting triumph, and profound reflection on life’s mysteries.
The song delves into philosophical and metaphysical concepts, contemplating consciousness, reality, and the possibility of multiple planes of existence. It balances personal experience with cosmic inquiry, blending reflections on poverty, wealth, and diversity with ideas of the self as part of a larger universal tapestry.

Lyrics
stranded in the middle of nowhere in the cold
I started my journey down this lonely road.
the journey to find my godforsaken soul
transcending the flesh is my ultimate goal
now here I am 10 years later
the illusion has only grown greater
trying to break free, but I find it so hard
sitting in my mind just staring at the bars
I wanna fly real high in the sky
so I grab my bowl give it a light
just another escape where's the end where's the light
is this the end or will I live another night
I torture myself as my thoughts keep racin
barely escaped the suicidal ideation
but something just kept grabbing hold of me
I guess I can't escape my fate or my destiny
stranded in the middle of nowhere in the cold
I started my journey down this lonely road.
the journey to find my godforsaken soul
transcending the flesh is my ultimate goal
I've seen stormy weather I've felt defeat
and I've had sunny days where I can't be beat
I've been rich and lived in poverty
lived a life truly rich in diversity
diversity is the hidden key
to unlock the secrets of life we seek
what if we're all one entity
experiencing self subjectively
I know it sound crazy maybe insane
but what if were in a matrioshka brain
our lives simulated simply for another's gain
the possibilities are endless in this plane
like parallel universes infinite range
eventually I'll break free from this cage travel in my Merkabah folding space
until i burst through the gates of the logoic plane
cause I was stranded in the middle of nowhere in the cold
when I started my journey down this lonely road.
the journey to find my godforsaken soul
transcending the flesh is my ultimate goal
