Lyrics

Metal mind I try but

The persona feels like they have a mindset tuned to metal or hardness, but they struggle despite their efforts.

These drugs don't work the same

Despite taking drugs, they don't have the desired effect or impact as expected.

Online all the time

The persona spends a lot of time connected online.

But somehow a world away

Despite being online, they feel emotionally distant or disconnected, almost like being in a different world.

In the rain

There's a sense of melancholy or sadness represented by the rain.

Months on end

They've endured this state for several months, an extended period.

And I split I break I fold and rust away

The persona feels fragmented, emotionally broken, and deteriorating slowly.

Keep your eyes

Advice to someone to stay focused and vigilant.

In my sight

A plea to maintain attention or focus on the persona.

Cuz these drugs don't work the same

Reiteration that the drugs aren't providing the intended relief or effect.


Don't know how to speak to me

Expressing a struggle in communication, feeling unable to articulate thoughts or emotions.

Don't know how to get to you

Difficulty in reaching or connecting with someone else.

Separated under the same moon

Despite being physically close (under the same moon), there's emotional distance or separation.

I need some real love

A longing for genuine, authentic love or emotional connection.

The screen wont move

Feeling emotionally stagnant or trapped, unable to break free from the virtual world (screen).

The shit that used to get me high

Things that previously brought joy or excitement no longer have the same effect.

Don't get me out my room

These things aren't helping the persona to leave their room or uplift their mood.


Pixelated visions keep me up all night

Virtual or distorted visions keep the persona awake and restless throughout the night.

What's a little venom if it's bark no bite

Questioning the impact or significance of something harmful if it lacks actual consequences.

I talk shit like I never gave a fuck about life

Persona presents themselves as indifferent to life or consequences, but deep down, they are suffering.

Deep down it's tearing me up inside

Despite the tough exterior, the persona is deeply troubled internally.


On the balcony smoking with you that time

A memory of a past moment spent together, possibly with someone else, while smoking on a balcony.

Staying up off it just to watch the sunrise

Staying awake deliberately to witness the beauty of a sunrise, sacrificing sleep for the experience.

And I'm coughing up a lung but I'm feeling so alive

Physically struggling (coughing) but feeling invigorated and alive.

I'm a goner she can see it when she's lookin my eyes

The persona feels like they're past the point of saving or redemption, noticeable in their eyes.


Metal mind I try but

Repeated expression of trying to adapt or adjust but facing the same ineffective outcome.

These drugs don't work the same

Reiteration that drugs aren't producing the desired effect.

Online all the time

Consistent online presence but feeling emotionally distant or disconnected.

But somehow a world away

Despite the online presence, there's a sense of being far from reality.

In the rain

Reiteration of the feeling of sadness or melancholy, symbolized by rain.

Months on end

Having endured this emotional state for a prolonged period.

And I split I break I fold and rust away

Feeling emotionally fragmented, breaking down, and deteriorating.

Keep your eyes

Requesting someone to maintain attention or focus on the persona.

In my sight

A plea to keep the persona in sight or consideration.

Cuz these drugs don't work the same

Reiteration that drugs are not delivering the intended effect.
