Lyrics
What makes us tick
Questioning the fundamental driving force within individuals
Are we mentally sick
Exploring the possibility of mental illness in individuals
Feeling inside that drive us like pride
Referencing internal feelings that propel actions, such as pride
Or emotional scars from our friends that have died
Considering emotional scars from the loss of friends
And make us build walls so incredible high
Describing the construction of emotional barriers in response to pain
They exceed the ceiling from the terrified feelings
Highlighting the extent of emotional walls and their impact
Which we often repress and end up depressed
Discussing the repression of terrifying feelings leading to depression
Some vent it as rage, it's the fashion these days
Noting the expression of repressed emotions as rage, reflecting societal trends
In a twisted society, we drown in anxiety
Commenting on societal dysfunction and the prevalence of anxiety
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove
Questioning if conflict has escalated to the point of destroying peace
Are we caught in a fit, what makes us tick
Asking about the root cause of erratic behavior or emotions
Has man gone insane, are we feeling the strain
Exploring the possibility of widespread insanity and societal strain
We must dig and must pick at what makes us tick
Emphasizing the need for introspection to understand what drives us
Has push come to shove, have we killed the dove
Reiterating the concern about escalating conflicts and potential harm
Are we caught in the thick as to what makes us tick
Highlighting confusion and uncertainty about the motivating factors
Can you feel the pain that I feel
Expressing personal pain and questioning if others can empathize
No
Denying the ability of others to feel the same level of pain
So let me tell you about what is real
Encouraging others to listen and understand the harsh reality
Go
Urging others to acknowledge the internal pain
The pain inside, it kills me, I cry
Describing the internal suffering and the emotional toll
So
Indicating the need to understand and address the root cause
What is it that makes us tick
Posing the central question about the driving force behind human actions
Can you hear the cries that I cry
Asking if others can hear the emotional distress and pleas for understanding
Why
Questioning the reasons behind personal suffering and isolation
Leave me alone, I'm ready to die
Expressing a deep sense of despair and a desire for release
Die
Reiterating a willingness to confront personal struggles even if it leads to self-destruction
For me I lie to myself
Admitting to self-deception and questioning the core motivations
Just what is it that makes us tick
Repeating the central inquiry into the factors that drive human behavior
