Getting Stoned
Mind Unraveled: A Journey Through Julia Calvin's 'Getting Stoned'
Lyrics
(It is a roll of the dice
Indicates uncertainty or unpredictability in a situation, likening it to a gamble.
A racing, distorted high
Describes a rush or intense sensation, possibly caused by substances altering perception.
Or a severe, paranoid low)
Suggests experiencing extreme emotional swings, from feeling highly anxious to deeply uneasy.
Lights going in and out
Refers to fluctuating illumination, possibly symbolizing inconsistency or instability.
This hazy fever dream
Depicts a blurry, unclear state of consciousness, akin to a fever-induced dream.
You hide behind your doubt
Implies avoiding confrontation or vulnerability due to uncertainty.
Because you're scared of me
Suggests fear or apprehension towards the singer, leading to self-protection.
Watching my mannerisms
Observing and analyzing the singer's behavior from a distance or behind a facade.
Behind the looking glass
Attempting to establish credibility or justification, but with questionable authenticity.
You're trying to build credence
Using valuable assets (symbolized as 'gold') but presenting them as less valuable ('brass').
But you sell your gold as brass
Intending to distance oneself while internally facing personal struggles.
I'm leaving you in the dark
Expressing detachment or separation from the listener or a particular situation.
I'm picking my mind apart
Engaging in deep introspection or self-examination.
You come out of the woodwork
Emerging suddenly and controlling situations, akin to a manipulative figure.
Dressed like a puppet master
Presenting an illusion of freedom while actually seeking dominance or authority.
You said you'd give me freedom
Directing conversations in a way that leads to destructive outcomes.
But control is what you're after
Provoking emotional responses until the singer breaks down, followed by feigned concern.
You steer the conversations
Reiterates detachment and the ongoing self-reflection process.
Until they crash and burn
Expressing indifference to the listener's actions or decisions.
Push buttons 'til I break down
Continued self-analysis while the listener is preoccupied with distracting activities.
And then you act concerned
Reinforces the singer's detachment and indifference to the listener's actions.
I'm leaving you in the dark
Reiterating the singer's detachment and ongoing introspection.
I'm picking my mind apart
Continued self-examination despite the listener's solitude.
Tonight I'm leaving you in the dark
Repeats the intention to distance oneself while remaining indifferent to the listener's actions.
And I don't care if you walk alone
Emphasizes the singer's disregard for the listener's solitary journey.
'Cause I've been picking my mind apart
Highlights the ongoing self-analysis despite the listener's distractions.
While you've been busy getting stoned
Repeats the singer's engagement in introspection while the listener is occupied.
Tonight I'm leaving you in the dark
Reaffirms the singer's intention to distance oneself while disregarding the listener's actions.
And I don't care if you walk alone
