Parasite
Unveiling Our Parasitic Control
Lyrics
Perception of me
Perception of self
Unknown to me
Self-awareness is limited or unclear
We're each born with a curse of parasitic control
We are all born with a burden of controlling influences, like parasites, manipulating our actions
that pulls the strings of our mouths
External forces control our speech
And shifts our shapes in the eyes of one another
External influences alter how we are seen by others
Actions shaped by critique
Our actions are molded by criticism
Are these all just pet peeves?
Questioning whether critiques are just personal annoyances
Hide the truth. What does your heart see?
Concealing the truth. Encouraging introspection: what does one's heart truly perceive?
I'll displease you - how you perceive me
Willingness to disappoint others to be authentic to oneself
Why can't we see what's so obvious? Blinded by our egos
Expressing frustration at the difficulty of recognizing obvious truths due to egotism
Why can't we see what's so obvious? Blinded by our egos
Repetition underscores the theme of ego-induced blindness
We remain oblivious
Despite clarity, people remain unaware or indifferent
Actions shaped by critique
Actions are influenced by external judgments
Are these all just pet peeves?
Raising doubts about the significance of critiques
Hide the truth. What does your heart see?
Encouraging introspection on the genuine perception of truth
I'll displease you. You'll displease me
Mutual dissatisfaction in relationships due to authenticity
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
Questioning the subjectivity of beauty compared to other aspects
then what about everything else?
Raising a broader question about subjective perception
Perception is our malady
Declaring perception as a sickness or affliction
I'll deceive you. You will deceive me
Mutual deception in relationships due to distorted perceptions
