Derealize
Derealize: Navigating a Distorted Reality Through Jupiter Kirk's Haunting Lyrics
Lyrics
Slowly I can see
Observing a gradual perception
A shape shifting to me
A transformation taking shape in my view
Another me outside
A version of myself external to my current state
Another me who died
Reference to another version of myself that has ceased to exist
I can see a future where
Envisioning a potential future
Everything is dark and bright
A contrasting blend of darkness and brightness
And all the answers from before
Past answers losing relevance
Fade away into the night
Fading away as night falls
I can hear chains rattling
Audible perception of chains rattling
Wake up and smell the rust
A call to awaken and confront decay
All my senses are failing
All senses failing, indicating a loss of connection
There's nothing left to trust
Lack of trust, everything seems untrustworthy
Reality is full of lies
Reality depicted as deceptive
It disappears before my eyes
Fleeting existence disappearing before one's eyes
I've never seen this place
Unfamiliar surroundings or experiences
Am I really alive?
Questioning the authenticity of being alive
I hang my head and I derealize
Embracing derealization, dissociation from reality
I've got a million scars
Many emotional wounds without the ability to bleed
And nothing left to bleed
Exhausted and drained of resources
I fought a million wars
A multitude of internal conflicts without distinct memories
And can't recall the deed
Unable to recall specific actions or events
I can see a future where
Reiteration of a potential dark and bright future
Everything is dark and bright
Continued contrast between light and dark possibilities
And all the answers from before
Previous certainties fading as night approaches
Fade away into the night
Repetition of the fading of answers into darkness
I can hear chains rattling
Auditory perception of chains, a symbol of constraint
Wake up and smell the rust
An urgent call to confront decay and deterioration
All my senses are failing
All sensory experiences deteriorating
There's nothing left to trust
Emphasis on the absence of trustworthy elements
Reality is full of lies
Reality portrayed as deceptive and untruthful
It disappears before my eyes
Fleeting nature of reality disappearing before perception
I've never seen this place
Sense of unfamiliarity and disconnection from surroundings
Am I really alive?
Questioning the authenticity and vitality of existence
I hang my head and I derealize
Embracing derealization as a coping mechanism
Reality is full of lies
Reiteration of the deceptive nature of reality
It disappears before my eyes
Fading of reality before one's eyes is emphasized again
I've never seen this place
Repeating the sense of unfamiliarity with one's surroundings
Am I really alive?
Reiterating the existential questioning of being alive
I hang my head and I derealize
Continued acceptance and immersion into derealization
