Reflections of Lost Identity
Lyrics
Exacerbated
Feeling intensified or worsened
I don't mean to lose all my time
Expressing a concern about losing time
To those evidently clear circumstances
Referring to circumstances that are evidently clear
All that come so near
People who come close
Don't touch me, and dear
Asking not to be touched
To our hearts,
Reference to emotional vulnerability
I fall apart again
Experiencing emotional breakdown
Through the looking glass I see
Seeing things through a distorted perspective
What you really want to be
Understanding someone's true desires
And did you speak his name
Asking if someone mentioned another person
And did you catch that train
Asking if someone understood a concept
Of thought back to better frame
Reflecting on returning to a better mental state
Of mind
Struggling with the mind
I tried
Attempted effort
Feels like I'm catching up now with myself
Feeling caught up with oneself
Feels like I'm all the way back in that old dusty shelf
Feeling like returning to the past
For you to pull a personality from your
Critiquing someone's selective memory
Conveniently selective memory
Falling between faults or problems
I always fall between
Sense of falling in difficult situations
The fault lines it seems
Reference to challenges or difficulties
Our palm lines run like sand and it's shrinking
Comparing lifelines to running out of time
and running out of everything
Feeling a sense of scarcity and loss
I can't be the only one here, it seems
Feeling not alone in a situation
It's time to move onto something green
Indicating a need for change
And did you speak his name
Repetition of line 10
And did you catch that train
Repetition of line 11
Of thought back to better frame
Repetition of line 12
Of mind
Repetition of line 13
I tried
Repetition of line 14
Broken jaw and I made this for you
Referencing a personal struggle and creation
Broken up well you think this is through
Reflecting on a broken situation
Well it's not
Rejecting the completeness of understanding
Your family is caught
Family facing a dilemma
Like a rabbit in my head lights
Feeling trapped or paralyzed
Ripping over 90
Speeding on the freeway
125
Repetition of line 35
On the freeway
-Tonight
-You drive
Driving aimlessly
Nowhere tonight
Feeling lost
On the hall your mark
Marking a path or journey
Take me back and forth on the avenues
Moving back and forth in life
Between Pol Pot and Holden's truth
Referring to political and personal truths
You know it better than all that I would come for you
Knowing someone better than they know themselves
With twisted shoes on your tracks
Describing someone's journey with difficulties
And broken nails on the hatchet hens
Describing physical hardships
I can't be fucked
Expressing frustration or apathy
Proud to ignore if I'm good enough
Choosing to ignore unless deemed worthy
Mediocrity is my favorite fluff
Embracing mediocrity
And there's no major tom to take me down
Referencing absence of guidance or support
But the money brought me back
Materialistic influences and motivations
