About This Track

Bladee constructs a meditation on transformation and self-perception, moving between states of confinement and transcendence. The track opens with a paradox: turning mental imprisonment into safety, a maze that protects rather than traps. This tension between constraint and refuge runs through the song, as he acknowledges that everything decays but energy persists, that mistakes are worth examining if they lead somewhere meaningful. The chorus pivots toward colour and ascension. He chases shades beyond grey, imagines rainbows in his mind, and speaks of transcendence as something earned through differentiation and separation. Yet there's a counterweight: another presence grounds him even as he moves upward, a duality he holds without resolving. The bridge strips away sentiment and hope alike, preferring the void's perfection to the risk of its corruption, though he admits this avoidance cannot last forever. What emerges is not a resolution but a suspended state, a commitment to rise today despite the weight of everything that came before.

"Noblest Strive" is a track by Bladee, from the album 333, released 16th July 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Noblest Strive

[Verse]

Turn your mental prison into a maze

Turn the maze into a place where you're safe

Right now stepping on the graves even

Everything will wither and decay

But the energy will stay

Every day, early, late, every second even

Turn away for nothing, just in case

A sensation but it's strange

In a way everything is a secret even

Call myself a vessel, not a name

Call a taxi in the rain

Take a plane out of space to confess, I need it

[Chorus]

Endlessly reflecting in your gaze

Drop the mirror and it breaks

Seven years, seven tears, seven different heavens

Blue and black, I chase another shade

And I'm transcending the grey

To the rainbow in my brain, this array of color

Endlessly go over my mistakes

Just to find out what it takes

To be great, separate, differentiating

You hold on to me, the part that stays

Makes me grounded in a way, fly away

But today I'll go up, I know it

[Bridge]

I throw all my sympathies away

Pray my card will be a ace

Put my palm over my face

I can't stand to watch it

Everything is perfect in the void

I don't want it to be spoiled

I avoid it for so long, but I can't forever

(But I can't forever)

[Chorus]

Endlessly reflecting in your gaze

Drop the mirror and it breaks

Seven years, seven tears, seven different heavens

Blue and black, I chase another shade

And I'm transcending the grey

To the rainbow in my brain, this array of color

Endlessly go over my mistakes

Just to find out what it takes

To be great, separate, differentiating

You hold on to me, the part that stays

Makes me grounded in a way, fly away

But today I'll go up, I know it
