Cradle
Cradle of Desperation: Unraveling the Struggle in Moxie Pocket's Melody
Lyrics
Spitting moths in the mouth of another
Metaphorically expressing discomfort or unease by using the imagery of spitting moths into someone else's mouth.
Unfamiliar eyes make it hard to recover
Struggling to recover or cope due to being surrounded by unfamiliar or unknown situations/people.
It makes me sick
Feeling physically or emotionally ill due to the circumstances.
It makes me sick
Reiterating the impact of the situation by emphasizing the feeling of sickness.
I have been bred to dissolve the discomfort
Describing a sense of being conditioned to handle discomfort or distress.
Submit to desperation, face in the dirt
Yielding to a state of hopelessness or extreme need, symbolized by being facedown in the dirt.
It makes me sick
Reiterating the physical and emotional impact of the distressing situation.
It makes me sick
Repeating the feeling of sickness as a result of the distressing circumstances.
Feelings of lost autonomy
Experiencing a sense of having lost control over one's own choices or actions.
Brings me back to a cul de sac house
Recalling a return to a familiar yet unprogressive environment, symbolized by a dead-end house (cul de sac).
And in the grooves of his bending spine
Reflecting on intimate or personal moments, finding thoughts drifting elsewhere.
I thought only of the shape of your mouth
Despite the situation, thoughts remain fixated on someone else's features or presence.
Trade gut feelings of uneasy for a lick of his sweetness
Choosing temporary pleasure (sweetness) to substitute uncomfortable feelings.
I couldn't look him in the eyes and he couldn't finish
Avoiding direct connection or intimacy, leading to an incomplete encounter.
Take me to the market and buy my dinner
Desiring to be taken care of or provided for in a transactional way.
I'll step out of the car feeling crooked and thinner
Feeling physically and emotionally distorted or out of place after an experience.
It makes me sick
Re-emphasizing the sickness caused by the situation or experiences.
It makes me sick
Reiterating the physical and emotional impact of the distressing situation.
Feelings of lost autonomy
Reiterating the feeling of losing control over one's decisions or actions.
Brings me back to a cul de sac house
Recalling a return to a familiar yet unprogressive environment, symbolized by a dead-end house (cul de sac).
And in the grooves of his bending spine
Reflecting on intimate or personal moments, finding thoughts drifting elsewhere.
I thought only of the shape of your mouth
Despite the situation, thoughts remain fixated on someone else's features or presence.
It makes me sick
Repeating the feeling of sickness as a result of the distressing circumstances.
It makes me sick
Reiterating the physical and emotional impact of the distressing situation.
It makes me sick
Further emphasizing the feeling of sickness due to the circumstances.
It makes me sick
Stressing the impact of the situation by reiterating the feeling of sickness.
