PERTURBED
Perturbed Reflections: Unveiling the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Shackled in, getting tighter from resistance
Feeling increasingly confined due to opposition or struggle.
A deep cell, brain tethered to existence
Feeling deeply imprisoned, mentally tied to the mere act of existing.
My mind's drifting
Experiencing a drifting of thoughts.
My heart's twisting
Experiencing emotional turmoil or turmoil within the heart.
Feel like I've gone missing
Feeling lost or absent from oneself or society.
Palm slipping
Losing grip or control over something important.
From everything that my mom's wishing
Struggling against the expectations or desires of a mother figure.
My internals feel hollow
Feeling empty or lacking depth internally.
Will I ever find some peace, I guess that only "god" knows
Uncertainty about finding peace, leaving it to a higher power's knowledge.
When the time comes, just leave me with the compost
Desire to return to the earth in a natural, compost-like way upon passing.
Maybe I can be the source of beauty as a pine grows
Aspiring to bring beauty to the world even after death.
Streetlights, they burn in my eyes like kerosene
Feeling discomfort from harsh, glaring lights, metaphorically represented as streetlights.
Sirens ring, 1-3-1-2, corrupt machine
Observing corruption and chaos symbolized by a police code and a corrupt machine.
I will never conform to any policy
Refusal to conform to any established rules or regulations.
He asked me what I saw, and I was miming till I fled the scene
Struggling to express or communicate one's thoughts before withdrawing from a situation.
Burning internal
Intense emotional or mental turmoil burning from within.
I'm tripping through hurdles
Struggling and navigating difficulties or obstacles.
Living through verses
Life experiences expressed through poetic verses or lyrics.
Summoned by colonels
Feeling summoned or called upon by those in authority.
Of the dead to pull the world reversal
Desire to reverse the state of the world's affairs by influence from the deceased.
Eternal is this feeling
Experiencing a lasting or perpetual emotion.
Spiders creep up in my soul weaving
Feeling a sensation of creeping discomfort or unease in one's soul.
Never fleeing
Refusing to run away or escape from challenges or fears.
Unconscious biases
Awareness of unconscious prejudices that are misleading or deceptive.
They're so deceiving
[Empty line]
Express my pain through the rhythms I play
Experiencing a decline or deterioration due to chance or fate.
Dice roll degrade
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions.
My feelings outweighed
Suppressing or restraining violent tendencies.
Suppress the violence
Being drained or consumed by something, possibly negative.
Leeching the brain
Experiencing a cycle of self-destruction and renewal.
An ouroburo lapse
Using medication to cope with or overcome past experiences.
Medication beating my past
Seeking connection or unity with others through the earth.
I'm reaching deep into the earth
[Empty line]
Until our minds attach
Feeling trapped or controlled by a powerful force or authority.
Steel fingers
Sensing a cold, unfeeling touch or influence.
The heat lingers
Feeling the lingering effects of intense emotions or situations.
Won't sympathize
Refusing to show empathy or understanding.
Street scriptures
Observing harsh realities or experiences from the streets.
The mean mixture
Encountering a combination of malicious or evil glares or intentions.
Of wicked eyes
Respecting and acknowledging the struggles of family members and empathizing with them.
Word to mothers and brothers who those I empathize
Warning about potential conflict if family members are threatened.
If a person press my family, then a problem will arise
[Empty line]
