An Observation
City of Superficial Shadows
Lyrics
I lived for the compliments they gave me
Seeking validation and approval from others was central to my existence.
And when they stopped coming kinda drove me crazy
When I stopped receiving those compliments, it greatly affected my mental state.
My brains baking away in the sun
I feel mentally drained and exhausted.
Superficial city but its by the water
The city appears shallow, but it's located near water.
Insecurities made by their fathers
People's insecurities are influenced by their upbringing from their fathers.
Lips filled with nothing to say
People speak without genuine thoughts or substance.
When daddies are careless and mothers are clueless
Parents' negligence and lack of awareness have repercussions on their children.
Cocaine for breakfast and pills to get thinner
There's a culture of unhealthy habits like drug use and extreme dieting.
Everyone is hungry around here
There's a collective hunger for something more.
Sick and vacant
Feeling ill and emotionally empty.
Our parents told us lies
Our upbringing was based on falsehoods.
Said that we would be alright
We were promised that everything would be fine.
But we’re confused
We're uncertain about life.
The darkness surrounds me
Feeling surrounded by negativity and despair.
In cocaine we’re drowning
We're immersed in a culture of drug use.
And I loose
I'm losing myself to overwhelming worry and fear.
Myself to anxiety
Anxiety is taking over my identity.
It’ll be the death of me
It feels like anxiety will be the cause of my demise.
No one here will cry for me
I believe nobody will mourn my passing in this environment.
Vegans talking shit with honey in their shampoo
Hypocrisy is evident among certain groups claiming ethical standards.
Lips are painted red, mice are dying for you
People prioritize appearances while ignoring real issues.
Contradicting your self coz you’re pretentious
Behaving in a way that contradicts one's true self due to pretentiousness.
Cookie cutter clones got poppy syndrome
People conform to societal norms, losing their individuality.
Saturday it snows, Sunday blow you nose
Weekend habits involve drug use and its consequences.
Put some vodka in your water, you’ll be fine
Using alcohol to cope with problems.
Sick and vacant
Feeling ill and emotionally empty.
Our parents told us lies
Our upbringing was based on falsehoods.
Said that we would be alright
We were promised that everything would be fine.
But we’re confused
We're uncertain about life.
The darkness surrounds me
Feeling surrounded by negativity and despair.
In cocaine we’re drowning
We're immersed in a culture of drug use.
And I loose
I'm losing myself to overwhelming worry and fear.
Myself to anxiety
Anxiety is taking over my identity.
It’ll be the death of me
It feels like anxiety will be the cause of my demise.
No one here will cry for me
I believe nobody will mourn my passing in this environment.
No one here will cry for me
I anticipate no emotional support or grieving upon my death.
But we’re confused
We're uncertain about life.
The darkness surrounds me
Feeling surrounded by negativity and despair.
In cocaine we’re drowning
We're immersed in a culture of drug use.
And I loose
I'm losing myself to overwhelming worry and fear.
Myself to anxiety
Anxiety is taking over my identity.
It’ll be the death of me
It feels like anxiety will be the cause of my demise.
No one here will cry for me
I believe nobody will mourn my passing in this environment.
No one here will cry for me
I anticipate no emotional support or grieving upon my death.
