Breakage
Rising Above the Human Breakage: A Poetic Reflection by MiKEY SANZ
Lyrics
So many humans are born and they're nothing but breakage
Many people are born with inherent flaws or imperfections.
I'm just tryna rise above the insane-ness
The artist aspires to overcome the chaos and madness around.
But it takes so many ingredients
The process of creating a worthwhile human involves numerous factors.
To make a human that isn't so useless
Making a valuable human requires a combination of essential qualities.
This species is so putrid
The human species is viewed negatively, possibly due to its negative traits.
Eating, breathing, sleeping, is a nuisance
Everyday activities like eating, breathing, and sleeping are seen as bothersome.
They're sacks of flesh, everybody sings tuneless
People are described as mere bags of flesh, lacking musicality.
Civility is thin, thick is ruthless
Civil behavior is scarce, and a thick-skinned ruthless attitude prevails.
I could die and it would be so relaxing
Death is portrayed as a relaxing escape from the difficulties of existence.
Because existing is too taxing
Existing is considered too burdensome.
Don't get Nick Cannon started
A reference to Nick Cannon, suggesting avoiding controversial discussions.
Put your brains on the sidewalk like Martin Sheen in The Departed
A vivid metaphor, possibly emphasizing a desire to abandon mental burdens.
I just want my body thrown in the garbage, like Frank Reynolds
An expression of a desire to be discarded, akin to the character Frank Reynolds.
I just want to stand at the top of the carnage, with Gold Medals
Aspiration to be acknowledged at the top despite surrounding chaos.
I just want to feel warmth when I think of Darwin, and never settle
Desire for positive emotions associated with the concept of Darwinian evolution.
I just want to bungie jump with no harness, and splat my mental
Expressing a wish for extreme experiences, possibly to challenge the mind.
Big oof
An expression of discomfort or regret.
I never want to exist in big groups
A preference for solitude over being part of large groups.
I never want to hear someone slander the troops
An aversion to hearing negative remarks about the military.
Never again do I want to chip my tooth
A desire to avoid physical harm or mishaps.
I hope I'm never jaded by the loops
An aspiration to avoid becoming emotionally indifferent or cynical.
I suppose death is the loop hole
Death is seen as a potential escape or solution.
Yeah
A reaffirmation of death as a potential escape or solution.
I suppose death is the loop hole
Reiteration of the idea that death could be a way out.
Yeah
Affirmation of the notion that death may provide relief.
