fix the wiring
Metaphorically fixing internal issues.
i’m cutting my own cord
Symbolizing self-disconnection.

Struggling to find positivity in challenging situations.
but i keep slippin’
Acknowledging the comfort of a neutral state.

Reflecting on the relative ease of being neutral.
i’ve felt worse with other demons
Comparing the current state to past, possibly darker, experiences.

Struggling to find positivity in challenging situations, repetition.

Reiterating the comfort of a neutral state.

Seeing the value in being grounded, repetition.
