Lyrics
Crushed down on me, oh
Feeling overwhelmed or oppressed
Moves through me now
Sensation or influence persisting
Like currency, yeah currency
Comparable to a form of value
Can you see it in me?
Questioning if it's evident in oneself
It cuts down on me
Causing emotional pain
Burrows it's teeth in me, yeah
Embedding itself deeply
But it belongs to me
Claiming ownership of the emotion
The one thing that belongs to me
Emphasizing its exclusivity
It sticks out
Standing out prominently
Stalks before you believe it's there
Lurking before acknowledgment
Oh no, you know
Expressing a realization or revelation
You can't go anywhere
Conveying a sense of entrapment
You can't go anywhere
Highlighting limitation or restriction
You can't go anywhere without vanity spawned by fear
Linking inability to escape with self-absorption
Vanity spawned by fear
Attributing self-centeredness to fear
Vanity spawned by fear, yeah
Reinforcing the origin of self-obsession
Vanity spawned by fear, yeah
Continuing to emphasize fear as the source
Vanity, vanity
Repetition of the theme - vanity
A terrible place, oh
Describing a dreadful condition
Move away, no no
Encouraging distance from the negative state
Couldn't leave
Expressing difficulty in breaking free
No, couldn't leave
Reiterating the challenge of escape
Born into this state
Inherited or ingrained in this situation
I can't go away
Feeling trapped and unable to leave
In love with a feeling of it, oh no
Being attached to the negative emotion
Stuck and afraid, can you hear me?
Expressing being stuck and fearful
I can't go, no, it digs
Feeling the emotional impact
You couldn't understand
Claiming that understanding is impossible
Oh no, you already know
Indicating a pre-existing awareness
You can't go anywhere
Reiterating the theme of confinement
You can't go anywhere
Emphasizing the lack of freedom
You can't go anywhere without vanity spawned by fear
Linking inability to escape with self-absorption
Vanity spawned by fear
Repeating the idea of self-centeredness
Vanity spawned by fear, yeah
Reinforcing the origin of self-obsession
Vanity spawned by fear, yeah
Continuing to emphasize fear as the source
Oh vanity spawned by fear (ooh)
Further emphasis on vanity born from fear
(Vanity spawned by fear, yeah)
Reiteration of the connection to fear
(Vanity spawned by fear, yeah)
-(Vanity, vanity)
Repetition of the theme - vanity
(Vanity spawned by fear)
Reaffirmation of vanity originating from fear
Vanity spawned by fear
Stressing the self-centered nature of fear
Vanity spawned by fear
Reinforcing the origin of self-obsession
Vanity spawned by fear, yeah
Continuing to emphasize fear as the source
Vanity spawned by fear, oh
Reiterating the connection between fear and vanity
Vanity, vanity
Repetition of the theme - vanity
