The Chariot

“The Chariot” is the surge of momentum in the journey- the moment where stillness turns into movement, where intention becomes action, and where willpower finally takes the lead. In the Major Arcana, the Chariot represents determination, discipline, and the strength to keep moving even when the path becomes steep. It’s the card of victory earned through effort, not luck. When I began writing this track, I wanted to capture that sheer forward force: the feeling of pushing through resistance and refusing to let obstacles define you.

Musically, “The Chariot” demanded a different energy from the earlier songs. It took on a sharper, harder-edged sound, leaning into hip-hop : a genre that naturally embodies grit, confidence, and drive. Bringing in Artinho for the feature amplified that energy: his verses carry the fire and intensity that mirror the card’s message perfectly. There’s something about rap that feels inherently chariot-like: direct, determined, unapologetically moving forwards.

The heart of the song is perseverance. It’s about choosing resilience when things feel overwhelming, showing up for yourself when no one else can, and working relentlessly towards where you know you’re meant to be. The Chariot teaches that success isn’t about avoiding difficulty, it’s about meeting it head-on. It’s about staying committed even when everything around you tries to pull you off course.

Writing this track, I tapped into my own relationship with discipline and determination. The effort it takes to build something real. The countless moments where you want to stop, but don’t. The quiet understanding that growth requires both belief and follow-through. This song became a declaration of that strength: not the loud, inflated kind, but the grounded, persistent kind that keeps moving even when no one is watching.

“The Chariot” stands in the journey as the reminder that victory is possible when you choose to keep going. It is movement after hesitation, action after doubt, courage after fear. A testament to what happens when you claim your direction and push forward with intention, power, and unwavering commitment.
