Schizophrenia
Navigating the Maze of Schizophrenic Thoughts
Lyrics
Yes I can,no I can't,
Expressing conflicting thoughts and uncertainties.
yes I can, no I can't,
Continuation of inner conflict and indecision.
yes I can, no I can't,
Further emphasis on internal contradictions.
yes I can
Assertion of capability despite ongoing doubts.
I swear to it,
Emphatic affirmation, commitment to a statement.
that's just how my brain works.
Acknowledging a unique thought process or mindset.
Yes it is, no it isn't,
Repetition of conflicting affirmations.
yes it is, not it isn't,
Continuation of contradictory statements.
yes it is, no it isn't,
Highlighting internal confusion and uncertainty.
yes it is
Asserting a belief despite doubt.
I know that,
Affirming personal knowledge or awareness.
I know it sounds absurd but
Acknowledging that the knowledge might seem absurd.
We first met in the summer of my twenty-second year,
Recalling the initial meeting with someone during a specific time.
I got scared and they appeared out of thin air.
Expressing fear and the sudden appearance of others.
Here they come, here they come,
Repetition indicating the arrival of certain individuals.
here they come, here they come,
Emphasizing the presence of others pursuing the speaker.
here they come, here they come,
Repetition underscoring the imminent threat or danger.
they're after me.
Stating the pursuers' intention to capture the speaker.
I don't know anything.
Expressing a lack of knowledge or understanding.
They got guns, they got knives,
Listing weapons possessed by the pursuers.
they got guns, they got knives,
Reiteration of the threatening tools in the possession of others.
they got guns, they got knives and spies,
Adding spies to the list of threats; denial of being an informant.
I am no informant.
Emphatically denying any involvement as an informant.
We first met in the summer of my twenty-second year,
Reiteration of the initial meeting and the sudden appearance of others.
I got scared and they appeared out of thin air
Reaffirming the unexpected nature of the encounter.
They knew my name,
Indicating that the pursuers know the speaker's name.
they screamed and screamed,
Describing intense vocalizations and possibly harassment.
they knew everything.
Stating that the pursuers possess comprehensive knowledge.
You could say that I'm well liked
Acknowledging popularity but hinting at a lack of true friendships.
but I'll never be friendles
Suggesting a potential struggle with social connections.
You could say that I'm alright
Presenting an alternative perspective on the speaker's mental state.
or you could say schizophrenic
Labeling oneself as schizophrenic, possibly metaphorically.
