PERMANENT SMILE
Toxic Smiles: Navigating Jealousy's Alluring Abyss
Lyrics
Converting to, conforming to
Expressing the process of transforming and adhering to societal norms.
Committing to call it what you want
Committing to using labels or terms as one desires.
Self medicating
Engaging in self-medication, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Pick my brain, it's fading
Inviting scrutiny into one's thoughts, which are diminishing or losing clarity.
Faster than I thought it would
Experiencing a mental decline more rapidly than expected.
Spin me on my axis
Being spun or manipulated emotionally.
Rewrite it in a past tense perspective
Reframing past experiences with a perspective that may distort reality.
Reckless in the process
Engaging in risky behavior without concern for consequences.
Erased all my progress to ashes
Wiping out any advancements or achievements to a state of ruin.
A plastered on face
Presenting a facial expression that conceals true emotions.
A mouth dripping hate
Speaking with a mouth filled with negativity or hostility.
Permanent smile
Adopting a constant and unchanging smile, possibly as a facade.
But jealousy's a lifestyle
Acknowledging that envy is a consistent aspect of life.
And I'm wearing it pretty well
Successfully displaying jealousy with a certain elegance or composure.
Teeth falling pretty
Experiencing the physical deterioration of teeth as a metaphor for self-image decline.
Self image is slipping through your hands
Losing control of self-image, allowing it to slip away.
Read all the pages
Exploring and reflecting on the various stages or phases of the past.
Throwing up the phases of my past
Vomiting out past experiences or memories.
Seems that I lost it
Expressing a sense of having lost something valuable.
Spent my deposit
Spending a deposit, possibly symbolizing a loss or squandering of resources.
A body in my closet
Concealing a dark or troubling secret (body) in one's metaphorical closet.
And I've got the key to lock it
Having control over the hidden issues, with the ability to lock them away.
Pretending that I fought it
Pretending to have resisted or opposed negative influences.
But I'm toxic
Acknowledging a toxic or harmful aspect of oneself.
A plastered on face
Reiterating the façade of a constant smile hiding true emotions.
A mouth dripping hate
Speaking with a mouth filled with negativity or hostility (repeated).
Permanent smile
Maintaining a constant and unchanging smile despite inner turmoil (repeated).
But jealousy's a lifestyle
Acknowledging that jealousy is a consistent aspect of life (repeated).
And I'm wearing it pretty well
Successfully displaying jealousy with a certain elegance or composure (repeated).
Are you wearing it pretty well?
Posing a question to the listener about their ability to maintain composure in jealousy.
