Lyrics
I don't feel like a man
Feeling a lack of masculinity or identity as a man.
A racing thought, the wreckage is irreversible
Experiencing a chaotic mental state with irreversible consequences.
And still I search for something heavier
Continuing the search for something weightier or more substantial.
In the nightmare, that is my every thought
Describing the persistent nightmarish nature of every thought.
I'll take the grief you can keep the fear
Choosing to endure emotional pain (grief) rather than succumb to fear.
I don’t feel like a man
Reiterating the feeling of not embodying traditional masculinity.
I could walk in any place and turn it upside down with my mind
Claiming the ability to influence any situation mentally and disrupt it.
I get stronger the longer I'm away
Strength increasing with distance or time spent away from a situation.
Your hand aches, I tried, I tried, I tried
Acknowledging the physical pain caused by one's actions, despite efforts.
Some things can't be stopped without a police state
Suggesting that certain issues require extreme measures, even resembling a police state.
Bad word took a turn and I ended up face down in the dirt
Describing a negative turn of events, possibly caused by a harmful action or word.
There's nothing like being right or like being first
Highlighting the value placed on being right or the first in a situation.
There's always another monster lurking in the earth
Encouraging exploration and acknowledgment of hidden or unpleasant truths.
If you dig you're sure to find what you're looking for
Expressing acceptance or resignation to a less favorable state or appearance.
There I remain, did you think I'd be prettier?
Suggesting a lack of concern about physical attractiveness in a challenging situation.
I can't help it if I'm the one the worms prefer
Humorous acknowledgment of being attractive to worms, perhaps in a metaphorical sense.
I don't feel like a man
Reiterating the feeling of not embodying traditional masculinity.
