It's Called Art
Exploring the Paradox: Self-Destruction in Creative Expression
Lyrics
I am creative but I'm drawing a blank as I paint a picture of you
I am creative but struggling to find inspiration as I depict an image of you.
I crave high contrast I think I'll add more red flags
I desire intense differences; I might introduce more warning signs.
I ignore the beauty in your detail
I overlook the beauty in the specifics of your character.
Now I'm switching up my perspective
Now I'm changing my point of view.
I default to my technique of subjective storytelling
I default to my method of telling stories from my perspective.
And it's called art
And this process is referred to as art.
It's called self-destruction
It's termed self-destruction.
I force the disillusionment
I deliberately induce disillusionment.
And now I don't know what the truth is
Resulting in confusion about what the truth is.
I call it art
I label it as art.
Give me some inspiration, no more Mr. Nice Guy
Seeking inspiration, no more playing nice.
Be my muse before I amuse myself cuz
Be my inspiration before I amuse myself because...
I should feel safe but I'm bored
Although I should feel secure, I am uninterested.
I know that's not normal
Recognizing that this is not typical.
And my imagination overrules me
My imagination takes precedence over reality.
I sacrifice true love because pain fuels me
I sacrifice genuine love for the sake of emotional intensity.
It's called art
Again, this process is termed art.
It's called self-destruction
It's labeled as self-destruction.
I force the disillusionment
I purposely create disillusionment.
And now I don't know what the truth is
Resulting in uncertainty about the truth.
I call it art
Once more, I categorize it as art.
Would you look how abstract I am
Observing how unconventional I am.
Don't try to find my meaning
Discouraging attempts to find a straightforward meaning.
It's complex, it's a talent
Acknowledging the complexity as a skill.
It's called art
This entire process is termed art.
It's called self-destruction
It's associated with self-destructive tendencies.
I force the disillusionment
I intentionally promote disillusionment.
And now I don't know what the truth is
Resulting in a lack of clarity about the truth.
I call it art (the truth is, it's complex)
Once again, I refer to it as art, acknowledging its complexity.
I call it art (the truth is, it's complex)
Reiterating that it's a complex form of expression.
I call it art
The entire process is identified as art.
