Unfiltered
Unfiltered Emotions: Breaking Silence, Breaking Chairs
Lyrics
I want to express myself
I desire to express my true self
I want to be revealing
I want to be open and honest
I'm always holding back to keep from hurting people's feelings
I often restrain myself to avoid causing harm to others emotionally
Pulled over by a cop
Stopped by a police officer
I was playing nice
Acting courteously
I'm trying to say polite things, ask what his day was like
Trying to be polite, inquire about the officer's day
Wanted to cuss him out
Desire to verbally confront the cop
Him and my coworkers
Feelings towards both the cop and coworkers
Sometimes I speak my mind, I'd like to go further
Sometimes I want to express my thoughts more strongly
And say shit when I feel it
Expressing thoughts when I genuinely feel them
And cuss at little children
Expressing frustration, considering saying harsh things to children
I'm tired of holding back, I'm going unfiltered
Deciding to stop holding back and speak unfiltered
You doin' alright over there?
Checking in with someone
I'm great!
Positive response
Listen here, you racist pig
Addressing a disrespectful person, possibly the cop
Explain to me just what I did
Asking for an explanation of perceived mistreatment
I was only doin' 40 in a 45
Defending actions while driving
Oh right, I'm black and I'm late this time
Attributing mistreatment to race
But screw my boss, he can kiss my ass
Disregarding authority figures, expressing defiance
Fuck whoever, still blunt, finna say it
Expressing disregard for others, considering being blunt
Fuck him, fuck her, and your mom and dad
General expression of anger towards various individuals
Fuck them, fuck you, and your dog and cat
Continued expression of anger and frustration
Lost my brain, think I'm goin' insane
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly losing sanity
Off the rails on the crazy train
Reference to a chaotic situation, possibly a metaphor for mental state
Takin' action, can't even explain
Taking impulsive actions without clear explanation
Why I cursed a kid and got joy from his pain
Reflecting on enjoying causing pain to a child
Yo son, it ain't real, tell me what's your deal?
Addressing someone, questioning the reality of the situation
Feel really good to say how you really feel
Expressing the satisfaction of speaking one's mind
Get it off my chest, let me express
Relief in expressing oneself and unburdening
That means I'm sayin', "Go fuck yourself"
Explicitly stating a dismissive message
Uh, that got out of hand, I may have overshared
Realizing that the situation got out of control
Looks like I may have spilled a drink or two, then broke a chair?
Noticing the consequences of being too honest or emotional
Yeah, we should keep it realer, go where emotion takes us
Advocating for genuine expression, following emotions
I need a minute here to recollect my social graces
Taking a moment to regain composure
Think I need to go vomit right now
Feeling overwhelmed and nauseous
I'ma drink more, then hold it down
Using alcohol to cope, intending to control nausea
Bartender, bring another round
Requesting more alcohol to cope with emotions
Before I blow chunks all over the ground
Fear of losing control and vomiting
Wait, what's that? You hear that sound?
Abruptly noticing a potential escalation in behavior
I'm about to go off right now
Expressing the intention to act recklessly
Drunk, reckless, and I'm talkin' loud
Being drunk, reckless, and loud
Do you mind if I just wild out?
Asking for permission to behave uninhibitedly
