The Fly
Intricate Journey Within: The Fly's Exploration in Die Toten Hosen's Lyrics
Lyrics
There's a fly buzzing 'round inside my head
There's a persistent thought or issue bothering the speaker.
And it can't find it's way out
The problem is unresolved and causing frustration.
Crawling here and there not getting anywhere,
Despite efforts, the issue isn't improving; there's a sense of stagnation.
I can feel it panicking now
The intensity of the problem is increasing, leading to anxiety.
As it follows a bundle of nerve fibres
The issue is connected to the speaker's nervous system.
Down the temporal lobe to my spinal cord
Details about the path the problem takes within the speaker's brain.
Backs up to the pituitary gland,
The problem influences hormonal and emotional aspects.
Flees to the forebrain, turns again
The problem moves within the brain but changes direction, suggesting complexity.
I can feel each footstep like a punch,
The impact of the issue is physically felt, causing pain.
My eyes explode with pain
The intensity of the issue is overwhelming, affecting the speaker's vision.
As it makes it's way up my optic track
The problem continues its path, affecting the speaker's perception.
Then pauses and turns again
A momentary pause in the issue's progression, perhaps a brief respite.
It probes my Hypotalamus,
The issue delves into a deeper part of the brain, affecting fundamental functions.
Blunders 'round my Cranium
The problem navigates through the speaker's skull, causing disorientation.
From the tectum to the Tegmentum
Details about the path the problem takes within different brain regions.
Stretches it's wings, then turns again
The issue extends its impact and then changes direction again.
Until it reaches the control centre,
The problem reaches a critical area influencing the speaker's self-awareness.
That tells me that I'm me
The issue embeds itself in the core of the speaker's identity.
It burrows into my synapses,
The problem becomes ingrained in the speaker's thought processes.
Rests a while and then it starts to feed
The issue persists and starts to have a lasting impact on the speaker.
