Asylum
Embracing Solitude: Unveiling the Depths of Numbness in 'Asylum'
Lyrics
Help me
Request for assistance or support
Please
A plea for help
Numbness will always surface
Emotional numbness will consistently resurface
The cycle never breaks because it's too easy to forget
The repetitive cycle persists due to the ease of forgetting the pain and suffering
The misery you breathe
The suffering and distress permeate one's existence
When everything you feel is dead under your skin
Feeling emotionally dead or desensitized
There's not a second to waste until alone's what you do best
There's a constant urgency to avoid being alone
The world around me
Perception of the surrounding world as destructive and invasive
Is like a spreading cancer
Comparing the world to a spreading cancer, suggesting its harmful and consuming nature
And I taste isolation
Experiencing isolation with a bitter understanding of why
With a bitter sense of reason
Feeling coerced into accepting harmful influences
Their poisons forced down my throat
Metaphorically forced consumption of detrimental influences
But I will never swallow
Refusal to accept or internalize these harmful influences
You think my thoughts aren't my own?
Questioning the ownership of personal thoughts
I think I'm better off alone
Belief that solitude is preferable
So lock the door on me
Metaphorically locking oneself away
And throw away the key
Intentional isolation
So when the silence becomes enough
Embracing the silence and discomfort
We can embrace the feeling we hate
Acceptance of the emotions one despises the most
We feel the most
Experiencing intense emotions in isolation
In my asylum is where you'll find me
Describing a personal mental space
Numbness is now the surface
Numbness becoming the predominant feeling
So let us walk with our heads held high
A determination to remain dignified despite emotional desensitization
Is it honourable?
Questioning the honor in sacrificing oneself for others who may discard you
To waste your life for others
Is it noble to waste one's life for those who may reject or discard you?
Who would remove you like a tumour
Comparing being discarded to being removed like a tumor
When they see you become cancer?
When others perceive you as harmful or detrimental
Crushed by the world and spat at by the masses
Feeling overwhelmed and disrespected by society
Open your mind it's you who is fascist
Challenging closed-mindedness in oneself
Tyrants and treason, the problem is that we just leave them
Not addressing or confronting oppressive figures and systems
Idols with IQ's less than fingers on their praying hands
Criticism of influential figures with low intelligence
Just listen, to reason, and rise above a world that is just grieving
Advocating for rational thinking to overcome societal grief
Push me out and forget me
Feeling rejected and abandoned
I am on a separate path
Choosing a separate path away from societal norms
Lost so deep inside with walls
Feeling deeply lost and confined within oneself
Screaming either side of me
Internal turmoil and distress
The world around me is a spreading cancer
Reiterating the world's destructive nature
Forget me not for I will speak of only things that make the numbness dissipate
Remembering only things that alleviate emotional numbness
A world of lies, people of diseased minds and the brain dead generation at it's finest
Criticism of a society filled with deceit and mentally ailing individuals
So lock the door on me
Metaphorical self-isolation
And throw away the key
Intentionally isolating oneself
So when the silence becomes enough
Acceptance of discomfort and silence
We can embrace the feeling we hate
Embracing disliked emotions
We feel the most
Experiencing intense emotions while hating them
So let's embrace the feeling is hate
Advocating acceptance of hated emotions
We feel the most
Reiterating the need to accept and embrace intense emotions, even if they're disliked
