My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy marked an era where Kanye was more vulnerable in his music. The hip hop icon had already started experimenting with different sounds and intimate lyrics in the album before the 2010 classic.

Newly single Kanye West did not back down or hide his feelings for the freshly engaged Kardashian. Even though the duo could not be together, Kanye did something special for Kim’s 30th birthday in 2010.

The talented lyricist hand wrote Kardashian-West a poem in a gold pen and added illustrations of the duo. This 30th birthday gift ended up being the song lyrics to ‘Lost In The World’, which features in the ten-year-old album.

Lost In The World By Kanye West

Lost In The World is the twelfth track on Kanye’s fifth studio album and features indie-folk band Bon Iver. The song starts on a sombre note, and the tempo builds up until it is a drum filled spoken word experience.

Other hit songs from this album include Runaway, Power, and All of The Lights. This album was indeed one of Kanye’s most personal artistic expressions, and its themes and messaging transcend time.
