Mental Knife
Emotional Turmoil: A Battle Within
Lyrics
Emotion inflammation calloused and abound
Describing emotional intensity, hardened and widespread.
Emotion agitation scarring of the soul
Expressing emotional disturbance, leaving lasting marks on the spirit.
Nervous system challenged, parts of me invalid
Highlighting challenges to the nervous system, with parts deemed invalid.
In a dream I embody it, scenes hyperbolic
Narrating a dream where exaggeration and vivid scenes play out.
Sensing what's left to come
Sensing what remains in the future, perhaps anticipating challenges.
I know it's bad when I look back
Reflecting on a negative past experience.
And I see my arms drag me along
Visualizing personal struggle, feeling dragged by one's own actions.
Getting stabilized, get it sterilized
Striving for stability and cleanliness, metaphorically sterilizing.
Brace while they cauterize
Preparing for pain, using cauterization as a metaphor for coping.
There's no fight in a lesion that can't heal itself
Recognizing the futility of fighting a wound that can heal naturally.
I prep the mental knife
Introducing the concept of a "mental knife" for psychological cutting.
We cut and we tear what we're wanting to part with
Describing the intentional cutting and tearing of unwanted mental aspects.
Emotion inflammation calloused and abound
Reiterating emotional intensity, now described as calloused and abundant.
Emotion agitation scarring of
Repeating emotional disturbance, emphasizing scarring.
Stitch the laceration, yeah
Metaphorically stitching up wounds, dealing with trauma.
Trauma setting in
Acknowledging the onset of trauma.
I see myself on the bed, seething from post surgery
Portraying a post-surgery scene, possibly symbolizing personal transformation.
I keep saying this dream isn't real, I'm sure
Expressing doubt about the reality of a recurring dream.
While I'm looking up at me
Observing oneself from an external perspective during introspection.
Suture it up, suture it up (Suture)
Repeating the need to suture, symbolizing the attempt to heal.
The trauma never should have left the room
Stating that trauma should have been confined or addressed internally.
Never should have wandered, never, never
Emphasizing the importance of not straying into harmful territories.
Separate the damage from
Encouraging the separation of damage from the self, seeking clarity.
Separate the damage from
-Brace while they cauterize
Repeating the preparation for pain, using cauterization metaphorically.
There's no fight in a lesion that can't heal itself
Reiterating the futility of fighting self-healing wounds.
I prep the mental knife
Reintroducing the concept of a "mental knife" for psychological intervention.
We cut and we tear what we're wanting to part with
Repeating the intentional cutting and tearing of unwanted mental aspects.
Emotion inflammation calloused and abound
Reemphasizing emotional intensity, now described as calloused and widespread.
Emotion agitation scarring all around
Reemphasizing emotional disturbance, highlighting scarring all around.
