You’re not broken—just unfinished. “Assembly Required (Some Parts Missing)” is a psychedelic alt-pop/trap anthem for the DIY souls still taping themselves together, surviving on dreams, and hunting for meaning in the mess. This track pulses with lo-fi static, haunting chant hooks, and vulnerable confessionals—perfect for anyone who’s ever had to build themselves from spare parts. Embrace your flaws, claim your story, and find beauty in being incomplete. Hit play, share if you feel it, and let’s make the algorithm see our resilience.

Lyrics:
some parts missing… some parts missing…

No manual in the box—
Just pieces and hope.
Still running, still becoming.
oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...

No instructions, just goodbyes,
Spare screws in my pocket, regrets on the floor.
Family photo, edges frayed—
Half the faces have walked away.
Loose wires sparking under my skin,
Lost the receipt, but I’ll try again.
Batteries not included, I’m taped at the seams,
Built from mistakes, surviving on dreams.

Cracks in the surface, lines in my hands,
Glued back together, I’ll make my stand.
Resilient heart, stubborn mind—
I find new pieces every time.

oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...
Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, I’m still running, still becoming.
Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, I’m not done, I’m still becoming.

Jigsaw family—corners worn down,
Instructions lost, but I stick around.
Bought a self-help book, missing the page,
Tried to reboot but I’m stuck on this stage.
Sticky notes line my bedroom wall,
Tips for tomorrow, reminders to call.
Whispered: “You’ll never be finished, but that’s okay.”
Still I gather what’s left and I face a new day.

Cracks in the surface, lines in my hands,
Glued back together, I’ll make my stand.
Resilient heart, stubborn mind—
I find new pieces every time.

Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, I’m still running, still becoming.
Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, I’m not done, I’m still becoming.

We all came broken, learned to build anyway,
Every scar’s a story, every crack’s okay.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh...
Some instructions are just in your head—
Still we make meaning from what’s left unsaid.
Missing some parts, but I’m finding my way,
Together or scattered, I’m here, I’ll stay.

Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, but I’m still running, still becoming.
Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, but I’m not done, still becoming.
Assembly required, some parts missing—
Oh-oh-oh, I’m still running, still becoming.

some parts missing—but still here.

I built Shiitake Products because the world needed a home for beautiful nonsense and soul-splitting truth.

- Sometimes that looks like a dancefloor meltdown at 2am.
- Sometimes it’s a button that says “Mildly Okay Human.”
- Sometimes it’s a whispered hymn to grief.

It’s all real. It’s all me. This is my multiverse—and you’re invited.
