Neuron Gardens
Neuron Gardens: A Reflection on Morality and Transient Connections
Lyrics
Left, Right, Stop
Indicating directions, suggesting movement or decision.
Breathe in and out through nose and mouth
Guidance on breathing, perhaps a calming or meditative practice.
Picture the smell of hospital
Evoking the clinical scent associated with hospitals.
Mixed with linseed oil
Combining the hospital smell with linseed oil, possibly implying a mix of healing and artistic elements.
You're impossible and you know that
Acknowledging someone's challenging nature.
Compassionate but combative
Describing a person as both caring and confrontational.
A moral license giving you permission to kill
Granting a moral justification for potentially harmful actions.
But you're my friend and i love you
Expressing affection despite the person's difficult traits.
But your just an apparition
Suggesting the person is elusive or not entirely real.
You'll disappear the second i step away from this mirror
Expectation of the person disappearing when not observed in a reflective surface.
Left, Right, Blink
Repetition of directional cues, possibly indicating a repetitive or cyclical pattern.
Recount the image of you retching in the sink
Recalling a visceral image of the person vomiting.
Help out a little bit and go get the alcohol wipes
Encouraging assistance, possibly in cleaning up a mess.
You're a stray dog and you know that
Comparing someone to a stray dog, suggesting a sense of abandonment or unpredictability.
Virtuous but you're vicious
Describing a person as both morally good and potentially dangerous.
Amoral license giving you permission to kill
Granting a moral justification for potentially harmful actions (similar to line 8).
But you're my friend and i love you
Expressing love despite the person's ambiguous nature.
But im not sure if you existed
Expressing doubt about the person's existence or reality.
You'll disappear the second i try to point you out
Anticipating the person disappearing when attention is focused elsewhere.
You're impossible and you know that
Reiteration of the person's challenging nature.
Compassionate but combative
Describing a person as both caring and confrontational (similar to line 7).
A moral license giving you permission to kill
Granting a moral justification for potentially harmful actions (similar to lines 8 and 19).
But you're my friend and i love you
Expressing love despite the person's ambiguous nature (similar to line 20).
But im not sure if you existed
Expressing doubt about the person's existence or reality (similar to line 21).
One day you'll be in another neuron living in my brain
Speculating on the person's future existence within the speaker's thoughts.
One day you'll be in another neuron living in my brain
Reiteration of the anticipated future presence of the person in the speaker's thoughts.
