The transcript captures a lyrical duet performed at the GWBG concert, featuring two voices—Speaker A and Speaker B—who exchange poetic reflections on the sea, destiny, and the burden of leadership. Speaker A contemplates the vastness of the ocean and the depth of the present moment, questioning whether anyone else perceives the world as they do. Speaker B reveals a personal narrative of being a girl destined to rule, confronting expectations imposed by lineage and gender, and expressing frustration at being confined. Both speakers repeat motifs about hearing the wind over waves, the weight of a crown, and the responsibility to lead and free their people. The piece weaves recurring lines to emphasize internal conflict, yearning for understanding, and a defiant claim to claim a throne traditionally denied to women.

Chapters

I can see, perhaps a little differently, the great expanse of everything stretched out blue and white across the sea. Do you ever get the feeling that right now is so much deeper than you'll ever get to see? Do you ever hear the wind whistling over the crest of a wave and think, does anybody out there listen like I do? Is anybody out there like me?
A girl? Well, it's not what I'd hoped for. My father probably said when I was born.
Nonetheless, a rule's a rule.
A ruler's a ruler. That crown is mine. When it comes time, I'll take it. Roaming blind, snowing away in my own life. First of my kind, a girl who's bound by destiny to lead. Mm, mm, mm.
I breathe in the rising sun. Take the helm to the sea.
They've shut us up and boxed us in. Girls of my line. Girls of my tribe.
And I'm supposed to lead all of them. I'm supposed to free them from their troubles. But who am I to say how best to survive? But under every star hangs a way to stay alive. Do you ever get the feeling that right now is so much deeper than you'll ever get to see?
Do you ever hear the wind whistle over the crest of a wave ending? Do you ever get the feeling that right now is so much deeper than you'll ever get to see? Do you ever hear the wind whistling?
Over the crest of a wave and think, does anybody out there listen like I do?
Does anybody out there like me? Roaming blind, a thief in my own life, stealing up space, taking my time. See the sign, seize the moment, start the climb, first of my kind. I'm gonna be the first to leave. Yes.
