Unraveling the Mind: Savage Hands' Poignant Reflections in 'Brain Dead'
Lyrics
I spent all my time wondering why
The speaker is preoccupied with understanding the reason behind a certain action or situation.
You would take this life and throw it all away

You, you can’t decide
Referring to the person addressed; unable to make choices when in a state of being intoxicated or messed up.
What you need when you’re fucked up all the time
Expressing the difficulty in recognizing one's own needs while constantly being in an impaired state.
I tried to make it right
An attempt made by the speaker to correct or improve a situation.
But you stay stuck deep down on the inside

You keep taking advantage
Noticing a pattern of the person exploiting situations or others around them.
I know that you’re feeling empty
Understanding that the addressed individual feels a sense of emptiness or lack within themselves.
Now you’re fading with a blank stare
Describing the deteriorating condition of the person, becoming unresponsive and detached.
A face, no name, you’re so brain dead
Portraying the person as emotionally vacant, without identity or recognition.
I would rather die than feed your lies
Preferably facing death than succumbing to the lies or deceit of the addressed individual.
I always sacrifice for a troubled mind
Consistently sacrificing personal well-being for someone dealing with mental or emotional struggles.
You can’t choose a side
Pointing out the addressed person's indecisiveness, opting to hide rather than make a choice.
Instead you hide
Choosing to conceal oneself or remain in seclusion, possibly avoiding responsibilities or confrontation.
You’ve left for the last time
Implying that the addressed person has departed or left for good.
I tried to make it right
A repetition of the speaker's endeavor to rectify a situation without success.
But you stay stuck deep down on the inside

You keep taking advantage
Reemphasizing the tendency of the person to exploit situations or others around them.
I know that you’re feeling empty

Now you’re fading with a blank stare

Who knew

Lie awake, where’s my friend?
Wondering about the whereabouts or state of a friend while in a state of wakefulness.
Are you alive or dead?

I can’t stop believing
