Dopamine
Chasing Dopamine: Navigating Pain and Evolution in the Digital Abyss
Lyrics
I was a fiend for dopamine
I had a strong desire for dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with pleasure and reward.
But sometimes what you really need
Sometimes, what one truly needs is different from seeking pleasure.
Is to
Transition or action point in the narrative.
Take on what you tried to escape
Facing and confronting challenges instead of avoiding them.
We evolve by outliving our pain
Growth occurs by enduring and surviving pain.
I was a fiend for dopamine
Reiteration of being addicted to dopamine.
My self-esteem collapsed and begged on it's knees
Self-esteem has suffered, and there's a desperate need for dopamine.
The lonely a.m. greets the glow of a screen
Loneliness in the early morning, seeking solace in a digital screen's glow.
I fantasize for a temporary high
Yearning for a temporary high through fantasies.
It's not enough
The temporary high is insufficient.
I make a post and get a hit from each like
Posting content online and seeking validation through likes.
But I'm
Transition or emotional state.
Still lost and I'm spiraling down
Feeling lost and descending into a negative spiral.
Sliver of death so I can forget the sound
Desiring a momentary escape from the harsh reality.
Of my
Transition or emotional state.
Quiet agony
Enduring silent suffering or pain.
I was a fiend for dopamine
Repetition of being addicted to dopamine.
But sometimes what you really need
Reiteration of the contrast between desires and true needs.
Is to
Transition or action point in the narrative.
Eyes ascend
A shift in focus or perspective, possibly towards introspection.
Eyes ascend
Repetition for emphasis on changing one's perspective.
The unaddressed can turn a mind obsessed
Unaddressed issues can become obsessions in the mind.
A night well-dressed won't tear the pain from within
A well-dressed night won't alleviate internal pain.
And the shallow caress of strangers' flesh is overwhelming in it's emptiness
Superficial encounters with strangers lack genuine fulfillment.
All the subtle ways we try to distract
Various subtle ways people try to avoid facing their problems.
But it won't bring the past back or resolve what has passed
Distractions won't change the past or resolve issues.
Isn't that what this is all about
Raising a question about the purpose of these actions.
We watch our old lives fall away and then we desperately reach out
Watching the old life fade away and reaching out in desperation.
I was a fiend for dopamine
Reiteration of being addicted to dopamine.
But sometimes what you really need
Reiteration of the contrast between desires and true needs.
Is to
Transition or action point in the narrative.
Take on what you tried to escape
Facing and confronting challenges instead of avoiding them.
We evolve by outliving our pain
Growth occurs by enduring and surviving pain.
I was a fiend for dopamine
Reiteration of being addicted to dopamine.
I was a fiend for dopamine
-I was a fiend for dopamine
