Voices
Conquering Darkness: Mili Madnesse's Journey Through Voices
Lyrics
Take a look inside my mind
Expressing the invitation to understand the inner thoughts and emotions.
You made me mad
Acknowledging feeling angered by someone.
The voices in my head they wanted me dead
Referring to inner conflicts and desires for self-harm induced by negative influences.
You made me mad I couldn't breathe I couldn't believe they wanted me dead
Reiterating the impact of the person's actions, causing intense emotional distress and suicidal thoughts.
That little switch we all have they broke mine with all that they said
Highlighting a personal switch or coping mechanism that was damaged by hurtful words.
Voices in my head, I nearly lost to the voices in my head
Describing the struggle with the internal voices, almost succumbing to their influence.
I nearly lost to the very things that made me who I am
Acknowledging the risk of losing oneself to challenging experiences that shape identity.
You think I don't feel it too?
Challenging the assumption that the pain is not felt by the speaker.
Darkness around me frightened cat to a tree
Creating a metaphorical atmosphere of darkness and fear, using a frightened cat imagery.
Dead space that surrounds me, grip so tight, won't let me free
Depicting a suffocating and restrictive environment.
Play a little music they say, they don't know for so long it brought darkness to my day
Exploring the negative impact of music as a coping mechanism, bringing darkness instead of solace.
I nearly lost to the voices that wanted me dead
Repeated emphasis on the struggle against voices urging self-destruction.
I nearly lost to the voices that wanted me dead
-I nearly lost to the voices that wanted me dead
-I really nearly lost it to the voices voices voices
-The voices that wanted me dead
Reiterating the nature of the threatening voices.
Inside my head
Locating the source of the struggle within the mind.
But here I am half conquered and all
Expressing a sense of partial victory despite the ongoing internal conflict.
Black coffee no sugar no milk
Describing a stark, bitter reality (black coffee) without sweetness or comfort.
Accept the shadows are part of who we are
Encouraging acceptance of both the dark and light aspects of one's identity.
We are dark and that is where we are light
Highlighting the inherent connection between darkness and light within oneself.
Zombie you can call me zombie
Rejecting the label "zombie" and asserting authenticity and emotions.
Zombie you can call me zombie
-But I'm no zombie
-I'm just real cuz I feel
-I'm no zombie
-I'm just real cuz I feel
-I feel my life coming back
Expressing a sense of renewal and hope, with the bird's song symbolizing positive change.
I heard the bird sing yesterday
-I feel my life coming back
-I heard the bird sing yesterday
-Years of trauma trauma fucks you up they say they say
Reflecting on the lasting impact of trauma, preventing full participation in life.
Little broken pieces stuck in dimensions across they won't let me play
-I know this song is all about me
Acknowledging the self-awareness of the song's focus on the speaker.
Maybe I'm full of myself
-Or maybe I just need to be heard instead
-Maybe I just need this to show them I'm not dead,
Expressing the need for validation and recognition of life despite challenges.
Im not dead

Interjecting with laughter and animal sounds, possibly representing a coping mechanism or a moment of release.
