Rat Soup
Breaking Chains: Unmasking Conformity in 'Rat Soup' by Ring Finger No Pinky
Lyrics
Go ahead and conform
Encouragement to comply with societal norms
Leave the skin right off the bone
Urging to strip away superficial layers and be exposed
Pretend to enjoy the finer things
Faking pleasure in luxurious things
Mask of Gemini twins
Referencing the duality of personas like Gemini twins
Cogs in a contraption
Depiction of individuals as parts of a larger system or machine
All together
Emphasizing unity or togetherness
All in sync
Highlighting synchronization, lack of individuality
No you're not fucking unique
Rejecting claims of uniqueness or originality
I wanted to be
Desire to be different or special
No
Denial of the possibility of being unique
I could never be
Reiterating the impossibility of being unique
No
Rejecting the notion of being unique
I wanted to be
Repetitive cycle of desiring uniqueness but feeling unable to attain it
No
-I could never be
-No
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-Never can't
-My body's burnin
-I feel it up inside
-Feel the pain moving
-It's grooving in time
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-Never can't
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-I wanted to be
-No
-I could never be
-No
-Never can't
Reiteration of the impossibility of never achieving uniqueness
