A state of mind
A Broken Mind's Hallelujah: Navigating Turmoil and Inner Struggles
Lyrics
Theres voices in my head again
There are recurring thoughts or ideas in the singer's mind.
Making up stories that never end
The thoughts create ongoing narratives without conclusion.
Ill never know which one to trust
The singer struggles to determine which thoughts or stories are reliable.
A broken mind is hard to love
A damaged or troubled mind is difficult to accept or feel affection for.
I could do with some self control
The singer desires better control over their actions or emotions.
But I can’t workout which self has hold
The singer is uncertain which aspect of themselves is in control.
Bleeding is the easy part
Experiencing pain is relatively effortless compared to other emotional struggles.
It drains the soul from a heavy heart
Pain empties the spirit from a burdened or sorrowful heart.
And the folks
Referring to people in general.
Sing hallelujah
They sing joyously or expressively.
While the tears fall
Tears fall from the eyes.
To the ground
Tears fall to the ground.
And the words they
Words have a deep emotional impact.
Cut right through ya
Words cut deeply and profoundly affect the listener.
Cos they told you it was
Implying that someone convinced the listener it's merely a mental state.
just a state of mind
Emphasizing that the struggle is belittled as just a psychological condition.
What’s it like on the other side
Curiosity about the experience of mental tranquility.
That place where no one needs to hide
Referencing a place where people don't feel compelled to hide their true selves.
From the preservation that only serves
However, this environment restricts and isolates individuals.
To lock you in a lonely world
It traps individuals in a world of solitude.
Is it quiet when the storm disappears
Wondering if calmness prevails after a tumultuous period.
Is it quiet when you’re trying to fall asleep
Contemplating the tranquility during the attempt to sleep.
That’s when the fight begins
When trying to rest, the struggle or conflict arises again.
A fight I know I’ll never win
The ongoing conflict that seems impossible to resolve.
