Virus
Navigating the Cycle of Emotional Viruses: A Sarah Fimm Perspective
Lyrics
Everyday she wallows in her dream
Everyday she immerses herself in her fantasy.
Pacing back and forth with nothing in between
She moves back and forth, feeling empty and directionless.
The devastated girl has given up.
The distressed girl has given up on something.
The boy has fallen to the feet of luck,
The boy's fate is controlled by luck, but he reassures her with a slight smile.
But tells her with a slight smile
He attributes their situation to a metaphorical "virus."
It's just a virus
She laid on him, possibly suggesting a burden or dependency.
She laid on him
The speaker cannot intervene or influence the situation.
And I can't touch it
Whatever is affecting them is deeply embedded and untouchable.
It's buried in
The issue is hidden and unaddressed.
And its all for nothing
All efforts seem futile and lead to nothing.
This web of you
The speaker refers to a complex and abusive relationship.
Is just a cycle of abuse.
The interconnectedness forms a recurring pattern of mistreatment.
Since you said its fine I might believe.
The girl may start believing it's acceptable since he said it's fine.
Dirty girls are easy to deceive
A cautionary note about the vulnerability of certain individuals.
A penny for your thoughts
A metaphorical payment for her thoughts or vulnerability.
Or just to take your clothes off
Reducing pain by engaging in a transaction, perhaps of a compromising nature.
I'd rather dull the pain
Choosing to numb the pain rather than facing difficulties.
Than stand out in the rain
A preference for avoiding hardships over confronting them.
To catch the Virus
The "Virus" symbolizes a destructive force in their lives.
That seems to be
This force appears to be an underlying cause of insanity.
The undercurrent of my insanity
Suggesting that the destructive force is pervasive in the speaker's life.
The lowest layer that has been fused
The deepest layer fused with the cycle of abuse.
Beneath my cycle of abuse
Reiterating the entwined nature of the destructive pattern.
It's just a virus
Reaffirming the metaphorical nature of the "Virus."
He says to me
He minimizes the severity, suggesting it's not as imprisoning as portrayed.
It's not quite the prison you make it out to be
Expressing regret for the inevitable consequences within the cycle.
Too bad you're dying, too bad but true
Acknowledging the unfortunate reality of the abusive cycle.
As is this cycle of you.
The cycle of abuse persists despite awareness.
