Terror Incognita
Soul's Struggle: Rai Kah Mercury's 'Terror Incognita' Revealed
Lyrics
Help me 'cause I'm restless
Feeling restless, seeking assistance
Help me I'm defenseless
Expressing vulnerability, in need of help
I fell to where only angels weep
Metaphorical descent to a sorrowful place
And where their sins go to die
Reference to a place where sins are laid to rest
I'll sit under a palm tree
Creating an image of relaxation under a palm tree
Just smoke to the melody
Engaging in leisurely activities, connecting with music
And bathe in the sun
Enjoying the sun, possibly symbolizing warmth or positivity
And I don't think
Expressing an independent thought process
Just like you think
Comparing individual thinking patterns
But I think I'm on the brink
Suggesting a critical moment or decision point
Of Satan's Hell
Mention of a dark or challenging situation
Oh I said it
Reiteration of expressing a challenging idea
I get a feeling, it don't feel so right
Describing an unsettling feeling
I get a feeling, it don't feel so right
Repeating the sense of discomfort
I must be waiting to cut you off
Suspecting a need to disconnect or distance
Politics
Mention of politics, possibly as a source of discord
I keep on saying it's a long way to the top
Highlighting the difficulty of achieving success
They keep on saying it's a long way to the top
Reiterating the challenges on the path to success
I must be living in nightmares
Feeling trapped or immersed in distressing thoughts
Oh, in nightmares, living in nightmares
Emphasizing the recurring theme of living in nightmares
And, I'll sit under a palm tree
Returning to the imagery of relaxation under a palm tree
Just smoke to the melody
Continuing to find solace in music and leisure
And bathe in the sun
Repeating the enjoyment of positive elements like the sun
And I don't think
Restating the uniqueness of personal thought processes
Just like you think
Comparing individual perspectives once again
But I think I'm on the brink
Re-emphasizing a critical or transformative moment
Of Satan's Hell
Reiteration of being on the brink of a challenging situation
