Being Here
Unraveling the Chaos: Being Here in the Depths of Despair
Lyrics
Don't kiss me quick
Request not to rush with affection
I'm about to be sick
Feeling ill or disgusted
All over my favorite shoes
Expressing distress about ruining cherished possessions
If you pin back my tongue
Even if silenced, still able to express emotions
With a stapling gun
Illustrating a desperate attempt to mute oneself
It won't stop me from singing the blues
Continuing to express emotional pain despite physical restraint
I'm as drunk as a skunk
Very intoxicated
And the national front
Referring to a far-right political group (National Front)
Have kicked me all over this bar
Being physically attacked by the National Front members in a bar
I'd go back to Ian's house
Desire to leave the current situation
But Ian's house is too far
Distance from a potentially safer place
The pinch and the punch
Playful references to a tradition of teasing on the first day of the month
Were for the first of the month
More teasing but this time, enduring abuse for the rest of the year
The slap for the rest of the year
Continued mistreatment for the entire year
The punch and the kick
Punishment for acting hastily or impulsively
Were for being to quick
Additional punishment for being too quick
And the rest was just for being here
All the suffering is a result of just being present in that situation
