Spaghetti Tower

[Verse] Spaghetti tower on a weighing scale Hot glue holding up my pride Thirty-five grams of confidence And panic on the side We built a frame from fragile things Called it engineering I was also made of fragile things Pretending I was listening [Pre Chorus] Every line had tension Every joint could break Funny how a classroom task Could look like my mental state [Chorus] Spaghetti tower, hold me up I’m not as solid as I seem Built from borrowed confidence And first-semester dreams Spaghetti tower, don’t collapse Not before the final grade I am learning how to stand From the weakest things I made [Verse] Lecture rooms and corridor lights Calculators, tired eyes Friends were laughing near the table I was learning to survive Somewhere between force and failure Somewhere between youth and stress I found out things can still be strong Even when they look like a mess [Pre Chorus] Maybe I was overthinking Maybe I was right Maybe every small construction Was a metaphor in disguise [Chorus] Spaghetti tower, hold me up I’m not as solid as I seem Built from borrowed confidence And first-semester dreams Spaghetti tower, don’t collapse Not before the final grade I am learning how to stand From the weakest things I made [Bridge] If the glue is ugly But the structure still survives Maybe beauty isn’t always How we measure life If the frame is crooked But it carries what it can Maybe I was not a failure Maybe I just had to bend [Chorus] Spaghetti tower, hold me up Even if the room laughs too I was trying to build a future From what I barely knew Spaghetti tower, don’t collapse Or collapse and teach me why Some designs only become stronger After they fail the first time [Outro] Thirty-five grams One small frame Young engineer Learning through strain
