Slave or King
Hysteria Unveiled: A Struggle Between Freedom and Control
Lyrics
My master is pulling the strings in a wrong direction
Feeling controlled by someone else, possibly in a negative direction.
Have I ever had control over myself?
Questioning if the speaker has ever had true control over their own actions.
Disaster can't be avoided, my life is reckless
Expressing a sense of unavoidable chaos and recklessness in life.
Have a ticking time bomb in every cell
Metaphorically referring to inner turmoil, feeling like a time bomb ready to explode.
Oh I know, it's just hysteria
Acknowledging a sense of exaggerated fear or panic.
Oh I'm in the front row
Being actively involved or present in a situation.
Don't feel my feet, I'm just drifting around
Feeling disconnected or numb, possibly from the surroundings.
Let my body float through the masses
Allowing oneself to be carried by external forces or influences.
Am I a slave or a king?
Pondering whether the speaker is in control (king) or being controlled (slave).
Screaming blood out of my throat
Expressing intense emotions or pain, possibly metaphorical.
Too tired, I feel like I am on autopilot
Feeling exhausted and as if the speaker is operating on autopilot.
Seeing everything just rushing by
Observing life passing by rapidly without active participation.
These faces are choosing loud over quiet
Noticing a preference for loud and chaotic choices over calmness.
They are carrying me across the sky
Being carried away by others, possibly in a positive or negative direction.
Oh I know, is it hysteria?
Reiterating the presence of exaggerated fear or panic.
Oh I should enjoy the show
Acknowledging the need to enjoy or experience the current situation.
Don't feel my feet, I'm just drifting around
Repeating the sense of detachment or numbness.
Let my body float through the masses
Continuing to allow oneself to be carried by external influences.
Am I a slave or a king?
Repeating the existential question of control (slave or king).
Screaming blood out of my throat
Reiterating intense emotions or pain, possibly in a helpless situation.
Oh I am a ticking time bomb
Metaphorically describing oneself as a potential source of destruction.
Oh ready to explode
Expressing readiness for a dramatic or explosive release of emotions.
Don't feel my feet, I'm just drifting around
Repeating the sense of detachment or numbness in movement.
Let my body float through the masses
Continuing to be carried by external forces through a crowd or situation.
Am I a slave or a king?
Repeating the central question of identity and control.
Screaming blood out of my throat
Reiterating the expression of intense emotions or pain.
Don't feel my feet, I'm just drifting around
Repeating the sense of detachment or numbness.
Let my body float through the masses
Continuing to be carried by external forces through a crowd or situation.
Am I a slave or a king?
