'Fragments' is the latest track by our alternative rock alias, Divided We Fell and it takes listeners on a haunting journey inspired by the 1995 sci-fi movie 12 Monkeys. The song captures the essence of a dystopian world ravaged by a deadly virus and the desperate quest for answers that defines the movie.

The opening lines of the first verse paint a bleak picture of desolate streets and grey skies, echoing the catastrophic impact of a virus that has decimated the population. The imagery of "an army on the rise" and "millions dead" conveys a sense of urgency and despair. Here, we are introduced to the central figure, a man embarking on a perilous mission to unravel the truth and alter the course of history.

The chorus delves into the song's core themes: the relentless search for truth and the fragmented nature of time and memory. The lyrics emphasize a shared destiny, hinting at the interconnectedness of past, present, and future. The quest for answers is not just a personal journey but one that involves the collective fate of humanity. The phrase "the nature of memory, found at last" suggests a revelation or a deeper understanding that emerges through this journey.

In the second verse, the narrative shifts to the ruins of shattered dreams, where the protagonist seems to be chasing elusive ghosts. This portrayal resonates with the film’s theme of navigating a world where reality and illusion blur. The lines "in the silence, dark and cold, don’t forget what you’ve been told" serve as a reminder of the importance of holding onto crucial knowledge and truths, even in the face of overwhelming adversity.

The bridge of the song offers a poignant reflection on the merging of past and future, encapsulating the central premise of 12 Monkeys. The lyrics "living in a world without a sun" depict a bleak existence, while "going crazy seems to be the only way to change our history" suggests that drastic, unconventional actions might be necessary to alter the doomed trajectory. This notion ties back to the film’s exploration of time travel and the psychological toll it takes on those involved.

'Fragments' by Divided We Fell is a compelling musical narrative that mirrors the complex and thought-provoking themes of 12 Monkeys. The song captures the essence of a world in chaos, the fragility of memory, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Through its evocative lyrics and haunting melody, 'Fragments' invites listeners to reflect on the profound implications of our actions and the intertwined nature of time and destiny.
