Substance
Unveiling Hidden Faces: A Journey Through Deceit and Self-Discovery in Rad Dragon's 'Substance'
Lyrics
Don a new face with a fake smile and a nice laugh
Putting on a false persona with a forced smile and laughter to deceive.
Try to make you believe that I give a shit.
Attempting to convince others that I care when, in reality, I may not.
I've been gettin' real good at lying through my teeth
Becoming skilled at lying, but expressing uncertainty and discomfort about it.
And I dunno. I don't think I like it
Uncertain about the newfound proficiency in deception, questioning personal feelings towards it.
I've been pretending I was somebody more like you
Pretending to be someone different, influenced by external expectations.
You kinda made me feel like I had to
Feeling pressured by someone to conform and losing one's authentic self.
But I'm over being somebody else for you
Rejecting the idea of being someone else for the sake of others.
I just wanna get high in a gas station bathroom
Expressing a desire to escape reality by getting high in a gas station bathroom.
Can't understand a fucking word you're saying
Unable to comprehend the words being spoken.
Just being here feels like a goddamn fever dream
Feeling disoriented and surreal just by being present.
Don't you get tired of all the time you're wasting
Questioning the value of time spent without purpose.
Your mouth is moving but you're not saying anything
Noticing the lack of substance in verbal communication.
I don't expect you to retain the concept
Not expecting others to grasp complex ideas, just requesting observation.
All that I ask is you observe my process
Asking for attention to the creative or thought process rather than comprehension.
All of your thoughts are spilling out like vomit
Expressing discomfort with others' thoughts being expressed poorly.
I wish you'd stop it
Wishing for an end to unpleasant expressions.
I'm feeling nauseous
Feeling physically ill, possibly due to the unpleasant conversation.
You've got loose lips and a dull wit and a blank stare
Describing someone with talkative yet dull and unimpressive qualities.
If I wasn't right here, I'd be anywhere
Expressing a desire to be anywhere else when with the mentioned individual.
Saying nothing for an hour in a single breath
Enduring a prolonged, tedious conversation without interruption.
I wish somebody'd get my stupid ass outta here
Wishing for an escape from the current situation.
You're like a sharp pain, a fuckin' headache
Comparing the person to a source of persistent pain and annoyance.
A goddamn migraine. I self medicate
Describing the person as a significant source of mental distress.
With a bottle full of cheap wine from a Circle K
Self-medicating with alcohol to cope with the distress caused by the individual.
I just wanna wake up hungover in the driveway
Expressing a desire to wake up hungover as a preferable alternative.
Can't understand a fucking word you're saying
Reiteration of the difficulty in understanding the person's words.
Just being here feels like a goddamn fever dream
Continuing to feel a sense of disorientation and unreality.
Don't you get tired of all the time you're wasting
Questioning the meaningfulness of the time spent in the current situation.
Your mouth is moving but you're not saying anything
Observing a lack of substance in the person's communication.
I don't expect you to retain the concept
Reiterating the lack of expectation for understanding complex ideas.
All that I ask is you observe my process
Asking for attention to the creative or thought process rather than comprehension.
All of your thoughts are spilling out like vomit
Expressing discomfort with others' thoughts being expressed poorly.
I wish you'd stop it
Wishing for an end to unpleasant expressions.
I'm feeling nauseous
Feeling physically ill, possibly due to the unpleasant conversation.
Can't understand a fucking word you're saying
Reiteration of the difficulty in understanding the person's words.
Just being here feels like a goddamn fever dream
Continuing to feel a sense of disorientation and unreality.
Don't you get tired of all the time you're wasting
Questioning the meaningfulness of the time spent in the current situation.
Your mouth is moving but you're not saying anything
Observing a lack of substance in the person's communication.
I don't expect you to retain the concept
Reiterating the lack of expectation for understanding complex ideas.
All that I ask is you observe my process
Asking for attention to the creative or thought process rather than comprehension.
All of your thoughts are spilling out like vomit
Expressing discomfort with others' thoughts being expressed poorly.
I wish you'd stop it
Wishing for an end to unpleasant expressions.
I'm feeling nauseous
Feeling physically ill, possibly due to the unpleasant conversation.
