Saboteur
Confronting the Inner Saboteur
Lyrics
These pictures of my fear you planted in my mind
Reflects on the influence of external factors inducing fear in the mind.
And keep me paralyzed so I don't even try
Expresses feeling paralyzed, possibly due to the fear mentioned in the previous line.
I know what I've always wanted
States awareness of personal desires or goals.
You would have it only pass me by
Suggests a missed opportunity, with desires passing by unfulfilled.
I run this program you installed into my brain
Describes the operation of a mental program, possibly external influence.
You say it's good for me, I won't feel any pain
Implies a reassurance of well-being at the cost of emotional numbness.
But it keeps me going nowhere
Highlights the consequence of the mental program, leading to stagnation.
Stuck in a rut, afraid of who I am
Expresses being stuck and fearful of self-discovery.
You're something I put on
Describes the external influence as something worn or adopted.
Something I have to conquer
Indicates a need to overcome or conquer the external influence.
Not saving me from harm
Clarifies that the external influence does not protect from harm.
My inner saboteur
Labels the external influence as an inner saboteur, suggesting self-sabotage.
You whisper words and then I fall into your trap
Describes falling into a trap set by the inner saboteur.
You're just so good at it, you keep me coming back
Acknowledges the effectiveness of the inner saboteur in drawing the individual back.
But now I finally recognize you
Realization of the inner saboteur's presence and impact.
I don't need your bullshit anymore
Rejects the influence of the inner saboteur, asserting independence.
You're something I put on
Reiterates the inner saboteur as something external, something to be worn.
Something I have to conquer
Re-emphasizes the need to overcome the external influence.
Not saving me from harm
Reiterates that the external influence doesn't protect from harm.
My inner saboteur
Restates the identification of the external influence as an inner saboteur.
