Freakshow
Tripping Through the Cosmic Circus: Psychotic Waltz's Mindful Journey
Lyrics
I'm a tripper man in a space of jam
I am a person experiencing hallucinations in a chaotic environment.
Flying in the circus of a freakshow band
I am navigating through the unusual world of a circus-like performance.
My ears are wings
My perception is heightened, and I am sensitive to sounds.
They take me to my dreams
My imaginative senses guide me to my dreams.
I close my eyes and I'm alone here singing
When I close my eyes, I feel isolated, singing alone.
In this state of mind, I'm more than myself
In this altered state of mind, I transcend my usual self.
I could reach up into the sky, color in the sun
I have a vivid imagination, capable of coloring the sun in the sky.
In the eyes of my imagination I can roll a bigger stone
In my mind, I can overcome challenges symbolized by a large stone.
I've cut the ties that build the rule of lies
I have severed connections that uphold a deceptive system.
And then I tripped away into the void
I have ventured into a state of emptiness or the unknown.
Lay down the gun that defends me
I choose not to rely on violence for protection.
Cover me with a rose instead
Instead of a weapon, cover me with a symbol of love (rose).
My eyes see the deadland that surrounds me
I perceive a desolate landscape, but I can envision beauty in my mind.
But I can see the garden in my head
Despite external challenges, internally, I can see a metaphorical garden.
All is well
Overall, things are fine in my mind.
No wall will stand in my way
No obstacle can impede my progress.
If they're too tall, I'll go beneath them
If challenges are too significant, I will find a way around or beneath them.
Cut me down, you'll just go through me
Physically harming me won't stop me; I am resilient.
Cut me down, you'll just go through me
Reiterating the resilience, physical harm won't hinder my spirit.
I am forever
I exist eternally, beyond temporary struggles.
I am forever I
Emphasizing the enduring nature of my existence.
And me you've never really seen
People haven't truly understood me.
Even when I leave this fade behind
Even when I depart this reality, there must be another place for me.
There's got to be another place to find
I am searching for a place where I truly belong.
Where I really belong
A repetition of the quest for belonging.
Here I do not belong
I feel out of place in my current surroundings.
So I write this song of mine
I express my feelings through this song.
To soothe my ears and ease my mind
Creating music as a therapeutic outlet for my thoughts.
And so another written page
Each written page becomes part of an ongoing expression.
Will turn into the everflow
My creative output continues to flow.
Will no one ever really know about me
Questioning whether anyone truly understands me.
Should they even care
Reflecting on whether others should care about my existence.
A strange little man
Describing oneself as an eccentric individual.
Racing all his bubbles to the surface of the universe
Metaphorically racing thoughts and ideas through the universe.
To see if he could swim out of my mind
A metaphor of exploring the depths of one's consciousness.
And as he looked behind, he realized what he had escaped
Realizing the escape from potential negativity in one's mind.
He thought that alone he would float out in space for awhile
Expecting solitude in the vastness of space.
Goddamn mother gonna try to take me down
Expressing defiance against negative influences, possibly societal.
Take a place in line
Referencing resistance against conformity.
Just lead your pigs into the slaughter
A cynical view of blindly following authority figures.
Thank you Perry for the idea man
Expressing gratitude to someone named Perry for inspiration.
Oh by the way, I want to meet you one day
An expression of a desire to meet Perry in person.
Thank you for the way you sang to me
Thanking Perry for the impact of their singing on the songwriter.
