Un-Chosen
Written & Produced by Sharon Katta
Prefix.
I wear pride like armor, hiding from the world and even from myself. I parade confidence, achievements, and ideals, yet beneath the surface, uncertainty and fear stir in silence.
Unchosen is a journey into that inner tension — the push and pull between ego and vulnerability, inheritance and self, performance and truth. It moves through moments of satire, confession, and reflection, revealing the masks I carry and the shame I fight in silence.
At its center is a question that echoes long after the song ends: Who am I beneath all this pride? There is no tidy answer, only the raw, unflinching examination of self, identity, and the inherited weight of the past.
Lyrics.
Intro:
Pride is like a dance
That reveals all our hidden fears
Don’t you dare offend me, therefore I’m offended
Undiscovered darkness, holds powerful secrets
Escapism, my sweet prison
Brief joy
Ever lasting pain
Verse:
NPC Living, A place where
Preconceived notions reaffirming the space
Rejecting opposites, our horrors making way
While algorithms feed us night & day
The lack of opposites amplifying the space
Inherently more offended, the embodiment of hate
NPC Living
A place where Hail self centred, all self serving, pretentious dreamers stay
I deserve my own documentary
An article detailing my artistic calling
I'm a legend
Look up-to me
as I proudly present my presentable virtue
A Multifaceted, versatile Artist. writer, composer
phenomenal storyteller, a pseudo philosopher
a performative activist preaching wisdom whilst
trapped in the cage of acknowledgment
Hoping I can skip my own-judgement
Skip being torn back in to pieces
Im straight gunning for peace as I desperately reimagine my narrative
Chorus:
Who Am I beneath all this pride
Just a shadow lost in the light
Beneath all this noise a truth hides
In the mirror, who Am I
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Admit it, admit it
Verse:
My pride, there’s a truth in it
Protective primitive defences, engrained in it
Who am I
A 3,000 year old cry for identity
The caste pride, untouchable tribe—generational crime
Look down. Fold your hands
We’re simply unworthy to be seen equal, Unequal
The legacy of law, the patriarchal Manu system
The system that restricted our freedom in chains of tradition
Dictating who to talk to, to listen & even the way we walk & dream too
Bridge:
Pride is like a dance
That reveals all our hidden fears
Don’t you dare offend me, therefore I’m offended.
Who Am I?
Who am I, Who am I
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Can you admit, Admit it! (Who am I)
Admit it, admit it.
Verse:
The conscious versus unconscious
The sharp push & pull
My partner, she calls this back & forth
While my paster, warms me about my strong holds
Like Pursuing painful patterns like trying to please our parents,
but they’ve been struggling tho.
Now this Fear resurfacing, fear of rejection, as deep confusion
But my sister says don’t worry, We’re in this together.
A failed experiment
This is a life of an occupational escapist
Trying to prove that I’m worth it
To my initial caregivers
To the irrelevant strangers
Truly Enslaved,
From here flows my sense of direction
What is love & acceptance?
A fairytale juggled in every part of living
A fight or flight zone,
Fear of incompetence, underperformance
Fear of general survival
Fear of not being seen for who i am
Fear from all the wrong choices, and the consequences from past
All backed into a defensive mechanism
Where the world is one battlefield
And me Presenting a version with chest up
Shoulder’s straight
Broken child, ashamed
Now turned into a cold stone
Often labelled as a man
An esteemed identity
Masquerade of pride.
Outro:
Some of us we never flow
No way home
Some of us we can’t know.
Running on
