The Myth Of The Middle Track

Kemaktun's Singles Volume 2

Verse 1
They charted the map in shades of gray,
Drawing lines no one walks today.
Every speech built for a phantom crowd,
Polished and empty, perfectly loud.
They call it balance, call it sane,
A doctrine born of fear of pain.
But the middle they chase is a ghostly stage,
Built on compromise, burnt by age.

Pre-Chorus
They whisper, “Voters want calm, not rage,”
As the rent climbs higher than a working wage.
They build their bridges over quicksand ground,
Wondering why no one’s still around.

Chorus
The centre holds nothing, the centre’s a spell,
Cast by the ones too scared to rebel.
They pray to the myth of a voter unseen,
Somewhere between hunger and a glossy screen.
But the heart of the people beats left and right,
Not in silence, not polite.
There’s no one waiting in that middle lane,
Just echoes of what could have changed.

Verse 2
They test their slogans in suburban labs,
Count reactions, not the scabs.
They ask what sells, not what’s true,
Mistake exhaustion for virtue.
Every promise shaved and sold,
To please the myth that never showed.
They call it “strategy,” I call it fear,
A war on progress, dressed sincere.

Bridge
(Spoken, over layered crowd noise)
They’re chasing the ghost of the undecided,
A mirage in the data, algorithm-guided.
They craft their platforms to offend no one,
And wonder why the passion’s gone.
You can’t win hearts you refuse to feel,
You can’t lead change if you kneel.

Chorus
The centre holds nothing, the centre’s a brand,
A handshake deal, a waiting hand.
They sell moderation like bottled air,
While the ground beneath burns unfair.
The people shout in every tongue,
But the middle hums a safer song.
They call it reason, I call it sleep,
A promise shallow, a silence deep.

Outro
There’s no “average” dream, no “typical” pain,
No voter waiting in the neutral rain.
The world is tilting, breaking, real,
And the centre forgets what people feel.
So let the myth dissolve in light,
Let the restless choose the fight.
For no one ever won the day
By standing halfway in the way.
