In Noblest Strive, Bladee faces his insecurities and reflects on his mistakes, singing about positive energy and making his mind a safe haven for himself. His vocal cadence and flow on this track is quite heavenly, perfectly blending in with the surreal, climactic whitearmor instrumental.
[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
