Borrowed Part
(Verse 1)
Check your vitals, they’re looking fine
Your chart’s a perfect, steady line
You told your friends you fought the fight
Another victory in the night
And I’m the secret that you keep
The engine humming in your sleep
They praised the surgeon’s steady hand
Drew diagrams I don't understand
(Pre-Chorus)
But your blood is screaming I don't belong here
And I’m waging a war against your worst fear
You call it health, I call it a cage
As your body tries to turn the page
(Chorus)
And good for you, you’re alive and well
On a stolen piece of my own hell
Good for you, you look so brand new
With a foreign heart that bleeds for you
I fight the fever, kill the doubt
While your antibodies want me out
It must be nice to feel so whole
With someone else’s damn soul
(Verse 2)
Saw a picture, you ran a race
A winning smile upon your face
You never mention what it cost
The part I gave, the life I lost
I am the scar you hide beneath your sweater
Convinced yourself that you've never been better
You host a party, laugh out loud
While I wrestle your rejection from the crowd
(Pre-Chorus)
'Cause your blood is screaming I don't belong here
And every beat's a battle with your fear
You call it life, I call it a lie
As you wait for a part of me to die
(Chorus)
And good for you, you’re alive and well
On a stolen piece of my own hell
Good for you, you look so brand new
With a foreign heart that bleeds for you
I fight the fever, kill the doubt
While your antibodies want me out
It must be nice to feel so whole
With someone else’s damn soul
(Bridge)
The science swore that this was progress
A bio-hack to fix the hopeless
The doctors call it a miracle, a breakthrough, a cure...
You just call it Tuesday and ask what I’m good for.
Will your system even mourn the day it finally breaks me?
Or just post a story about the energy it takes... see?
(Guitar Solo / Outro)
Borrowed part!
Yeah, you just tear me apart!
Borrowed part!
You just tear... me... apart...
(Drums crash, heavy guitar riff repeating)
Good for you!
(Riff)
Good for you!
(Riff)
I'm just the borrowed part you'll break.
(Song ends abruptly on the last word with feedback hum)
About The Song
"Borrowed Part" transforms the clinical headline of successful xenotransplantation (a pig kidney into a human) into a visceral metaphor for a one-sided, emotionally parasitic relationship. Influenced by the pop-punk catharsis of Olivia Rodrigo, the song channels the perspective of someone who has given a fundamental piece of their being—their energy, their soul, their "heart"—to keep another person afloat. The recipient thrives, celebrating their newfound 'health' and vitality, completely oblivious or indifferent to the immense sacrifice and constant struggle of the giver. The song uses medical language like "vitals," "antibodies," and "rejection" to describe the emotional warfare of being treated as a foreign, disposable object within a relationship you are single-handedly sustaining. It's about the feeling that your very presence, which is saving them, is also being actively fought against—the ultimate betrayal.
Production Notes
Genre: Pop-Punk / Alternative Rock
Vocal Chain: For verses, a close-mic'd Shure SM7B with light compression to capture intimacy and tension. For the chorus, switch to a Neumann U 87, pushed harder into the preamp (Neve 1073 style) for that bright, aggressive edge. Double-track the chorus vocals and pan them wide, with a slightly distorted harmony track tucked underneath.
Arrangement: Verses are driven by a tight, palm-muted Telecaster and a pulsing, clean bass line. Drums are minimal—just kick and hi-hat. The Pre-Chorus builds with rapid sixteenth-notes on the hi-hat and introduces a second, chiming guitar line. The Chorus explodes with power chords (Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier tone), crashing cymbals, and layered vocals. The Bridge should feel stripped back and cavernous—a single vocal with heavy reverb and a distant, clean, arpeggiated guitar. The Outro needs raw energy: a messy, melodic guitar solo full of bends and feedback, culminating in an abrupt, hard stop that leaves the listener hanging.
Mix Automation: Automate the reverb and delay throws, especially on the last word of each chorus line to create space and drama. During the bridge, automate a low-pass filter to sweep open as the intensity builds into the final outcry. The final feedback hum should slowly fade over 2-3 seconds before cutting to silence.
