“Extrinsic Dreams” is a song about ambition without losing yourself.

It’s for anyone who’s ever chased the summit so hard they forgot why they started climbing in the first place.

I wrote this during a moment where I was questioning my own motives — wondering how much of my drive came from meaning, and how much came from wanting to be seen. It’s easy to confuse the two. It’s easy to climb for the applause and call it purpose.

This track is a reminder to myself, and maybe to you too, that external dreams aren’t wrong. They can spark the fire. They can push you forward. But they can’t replace the core. They can’t tell you who you are.

If you’re in a season where you’re chasing something big, I hope this song helps you stay connected to the part of you that started the climb in the first place

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We chase the summit, hearts on fire,
Dreams dressed up in gold and wire.
Every step, a story told,
But the mountain’s cold, and the air is bold.

[Pre-Chorus]
Is it for the view, or the eyes that see?
Is it for the world, or the soul in me?

[Chorus ]
Extrinsic dreams, they light the spark,
But meaning burns when it’s in the dark.
Climb for the ladder, climb for the sky,
But don’t forget the *reason why*.
Balance the weight, don’t lose the climb,
The summit’s yours when the heart aligns.

[Verse 2]
We wear the medals, chase the name,
But hollow crowns can feel the same.
What’s the worth if we lose the core?
What’s the win if we want for more?

[Bridge]
It’s not wrong to want the cheers,
But let them echo through the years.
Build your mountain, make it true,
Let the climb belong to you.

[Final Chorus]
Extrinsic dreams, they light the spark,
But meaning burns when it’s in the dark.
Climb for the ladder, climb for the sky,
But don’t forget the *reason why*.
Balance the weight, don’t lose the climb,
The summit’s yours when the heart aligns.
