LYRICS:
I’m just a man.
A cobblement of who I’ve been, who I’ll be, and who I am.
I’ve learned many things to forget, and I’m sure that I’ll see infinitely more yet.
I’m just a man.
A culmination of what I do, and say, and think, therefore I am.
I’ve forgotten more than I’ll ever know,
and I’ll forget another dozen more things by tomorrow.
I’m messy. I’m incomplete.
Each mountain I finally climb just reveals another peak.
Arrogance. Pride. Conceit.
All synonyms for the same sound that makes up my back-beat.
I’m just this version of me.
Halfway to 24. Half-past 23.
The clock will tock, tick, chip me slowly away;
like the ocean washes the rock; tomorrow forgets today.
I have awoken from a nightmare.
(Oh, can you see?)
Girt by sea.
Such an awful dream.
I’m just a small, shallow, frail and fragile thing:
(Tomorrow forgets today...)
A human being.
(...but the tide begets another way.)
So, call me what you like. I’ll be alright.
(I’m just a vessel. I’m just a machine.
I’m just a scrapbook of ill-forgot stories.)
Lo, sure as it is night, soon rise the light.
(I’m just a broken thing.
Patched together.
Stretched at the seams.
But beauty is as beauty sees.)
Eclecticism incarnate.
I don’t know where I’ll end up, and I’ve forgotten where I started.
I think my name’s not yet been changed?
It might be the only piece of my identity that’s not yet been exchanged.
I’m just a ship. I’m just a man. I’m full of shit. I’m free from reprimand.
I’m just a piece of a piece of a piece of an idea, borne of one of a trillion grains of sand.
So, when the next vessel reaches land,
can we both agree to extend a helping hand?
Is it a curse? Is it a blessing?
It creates its own wound, then administers its own fucking dressings.
A disinfectant to cleanse itself.
A little piece of Heaven to adorn this patchwork Hell.
The tide on its own hides thoughts unknown.
The secrets the seas held are vast and lone.
They collect the steps that we can’t retrace,
debase memories of Gods, and Kings, and Saints.
The ocean’s seen crimes obscene of hate.
Least of all, the woes of one reprobate.
But the rising sun forgives all mistakes.
It seems Artemis is in retrograde.
The God of Night will make way for Day.
So, call me what you like. I’ll ride this tide.
(I prayed for glory. I made a story.
The Gods above, I’m sure, abhor me.)
Though Poseidon’s seldom kind, I’ll be alright.
(“I want a vision of what I’m to be.”
The monkey’s paw grips my neck tightly.)
No, time is all we own, so take what you’re owed.
And though mine is borrowed, I’ll make the most of this deadloan.
So, call me what you like. I will survive.
“It must stay just.”
“Free from flaw and rust.”
Tell that to Icarus, Narcissus and that fool with the lotuses.
It seems they’ve forsaken us.
I’m just a man, scared and scant, feigning triumphant.
I’m just a man in a crash-land, trying to stand,
riding the current.

[@glyphnoceda]

Mostly agree, but I'd swap Ship of Theseus and Ship of Theseus?

[@proffent4899]

Isn’t this the sixth ?

[@Siberdoodle]

The Ship of Theseus is perfect, because now when I want to listen to Jash in the car with my friends I can say, "just one? please?" and they'll say, "fine. just one Jash," And then I will play 6 versions of The Ship of Theseus

[@cranberrycocacola]

{dear mr jash. why are you making a whole ass navy}

[@virrrrnogamer]

Really cool that all the other songs mention Theseus, except for the one before this which mentions "These he's and us'" which is almost a homophone for Theseus, but this song, it doesn't even have that, it completely scratches the name from the lyrics. Really neat

[@withedoter6277]

In this song, the lyrics have it that the singer thought their name was the only thing had yet changed throughout the iterations, apparently not then👀👀👀

[@LichenJuice]

"Despite everything, it's still you" ahh album

[@Boredom_Herself]

This one gives serious Ode to the Cog vibes /vpos

[@Rewardszexe]

YESSS I WAS THINKING THE SAME. EVEN THE TONE OF VOICE SEEMS IDENTICAL

[@endymonyt4268]

I think it's the low, half-spoken voice

[@dxality]

yo i was thinking the same! (It sounds like the same effect that Winston has)

[@Aurorathesilly]

I THOUGHT THAT TOO

[@tristenarctician6910]

It also has a bit of To Toe Dead Lines in it

[@nikopeters9606]

I like the small detail of how the music gets more modernized throughout the songs. Like the first songs used more traditional instruments, and now were in the time of modern synths and hard base.

[@whensbeatone]

waitwaitwaitwaitwait the structure has been left untouched??? INEED TO NOW GO LOOK AT EVERY SIMGLE SHIP INTENTLY ???? AND PROBABL6 STOP COMMENTING

[@Lexithepoptart]

Gosh this HITS. It’s not just a hypothetical ship being altered. It’s everyone. Time surges on, changes everyone, and can never be rewound. Is the ship the same? Am I?

[@CookieDerp]

I love how every time a new song comes out, a new artist draws the cover to make a new version of the original, and now the person who made the first cover (sly) wasn’t the person who made this art cover.

[@WOLF_but_a_dead_one]

I KNEW KNOWING A LOT ABOUT THESEUS WILL PAY OFF, THANK YOU SCHOOL

help a brother out, i am missing the overall plot, i only got the outline

[@Stranded_Cynic]

WE'RE CALLING US WHAT EVER WE LIKE WITH THIS ONE 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@mariaindiasalvatierra2687]

Ok this song seems to be a combination between the ship and the author (who may or may not be chonny himself) who wished to be known for his stories but ended up becoming one of his characters

[@NoobCat1234]

Whole from CCCC

[@SillyWoahWoah]

Chonny writes all of his songs, which could mean he could be becoming his stories, again. Not sure though.

[@TaterPIEguy]

huge ode to the cog vibes, that's a greatly good thing and incredibly relatable as always

[@Juno-3x]

This ship's so Theseus

[@IEatPoisonShrooms4Brekky]

Flashback to when it was just a dude building a ship

[@ArvolyXSL]

This sure was "The Ship of Theseus", so glad to have been there for the ride, again, and again, and again, and again, and again.

[@axonthealtered]

One repair too many, and one man seems to forget their own self.. Will we keep our journeys to sea, or will this be the end of our adventure? Keep up the good work, Mr Jash!!

[@Davix40no91]

1st ship of theseus: Oh wow, the song is pretty good :) 2nd ship of theseus: Wait, what? he posted the same song? is it like an instrumental, OH, no its like a completly new song :0 damn 3rd Ship of thesus: Ok, i like this concept of like having like 3 different paths/ ships of theseus, like a wine tasting but bout ships 4th: Wait what? like, a 4rth one? and like, just a day later the third one? damn, like, its good like it sounds way more evil but like, this is probably the last one tbh 5th: Oh, well, i was incorrected then, like, it sounds interresting, like, the high vocals and all makes it feel like the boat is like breaking down or smthng, but like man, like mf, 1 song a day dude like, you could just do a full album with these ones 6th: Chip of zizus (A lot more Chonny jasher) 7th????: Go to sleep man, like you made 7 good full songs in a week man, like, do you need a hug?

[@marielragosa8893]

SORRY I'M LATE!!! Ha! First time in so much time i'm late! Well, i just built a different theory, but let's give some kind of context first: When i met Chonny Jash, he was making the last Power Hour (The Chonny Jash Power Hour) and it seems that he took 6 weeks to make it. Now, he's releasing the same song in the same week (what he did when he started releasing TCJPH) and knowing that this song took him 6 weeks, this could mean that these songs will form a kind of Album! MAYBE I'M RIGHT MAYBE I'M NOT.
