Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Fickle Fortune Unveiled by Neil Morrison
Lyrics
My fickle fortune does deceive me
Expressing disappointment or betrayal by unpredictable fate.

Recalling a time when life was simpler and less challenging.
Now my vice is running free
Acknowledging the unrestrained nature of a personal weakness or bad habit.
I'm shattered here
Feeling emotionally broken or devastated.
Nights of amphetamines and shoebox dreams
Reflecting on nights of intense experiences and ambitious dreams.
The ropewalk of life or so you told me
Comparing life to a precarious path, possibly with unreliable guidance.
Stop me if I've got this one wrong
Seeking confirmation about the accuracy of one's understanding.
And I know you know

Until the soundless stars sing
Imagining a scenario where celestial elements convey a profound message.
And the world gives you it all past this
Suggesting that life offers everything up to a certain point.
My vicious fate is played upon

By the ruins of men that stood before me
Referring to the influence of predecessors who faced ruin.
It's something I can't compete

Now I've crossed the rubicon
Symbolizing a point of no return or irreversible decision.
You know that I've
