Squeegee
Squeegee: Battling Inner Turmoil & Seeking Cleansing
Lyrics
Oh god, here we go again
Expressing exasperation or resignation about facing a familiar situation.
One o'clock, stop trying to pretend
Acknowledging the time (one o'clock) and urging honesty or authenticity.
The flytrap holding my energy discharges my whole memory
Metaphorically describing a situation where external influences drain personal energy and erase memories.
Radioactive kneecaps shaking violently
Using radioactive imagery to depict intense, unstable emotions or experiences.
Oh, so violently
Emphasizing the violence or intensity of the emotional state.
I swear it's been a long time since you've seen this other side of me
Noticing a change in oneself that others haven't seen for a long time.
I've been hijacked, looking for something to eat, because it's urgent
Feeling compelled or controlled by external forces, seeking relief urgently.
Squeegee my brain and help me ease the pain with detergent
Metaphorically requesting a mental cleanse or relief from emotional pain.
I'm on a high and I so badly need to get clean
Expressing a desire to overcome a personal high or intense experience.
Trying not to focus on what's put in front of me
Trying to avoid focusing on immediate challenges or obstacles.
I've been stepped on and smiled through it
Enduring challenges with a positive attitude but ready to express frustration.
And now I'm gonna rage
Anticipating a release of pent-up emotions through rage.
My hormones have been locked up for so long
Highlighting the suppression of natural urges or emotions for an extended period.
Like a bird in a cage
Comparing personal restraint to a bird confined in a cage.
I've been hijacked, looking for something to eat, because it's urgent
Reiterating the urgency to find relief or sustenance from external pressures.
Squeegee my brain and help me ease the pain with detergent
Repeating the metaphor of cleansing the mind for relief.
I'm on a high and I so badly need to get clean
Reiterating the desire to overcome a heightened state and achieve clarity.
Trying not to focus on what's put in front of me
Persisting in the attempt to avoid immediate distractions or challenges.
I've been hijacked, looking for something to eat, because it's urgent
Emphasizing the ongoing urgency to find relief from external pressures.
Squeegee my brain and help me ease the pain with detergent
Repeating the plea for mental cleansing to alleviate pain.
I'm on a high and I so badly need to get clean
Reiterating the intense desire to overcome a heightened emotional state.
Trying not to focus on what's put in front of me
Continuing the effort to avoid being consumed by immediate challenges.
It's been five whole years and I still need to find something that works
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time in search of a solution.
Count by nines in a hole while you empty the mines of my effort
Using mathematical imagery to depict effort and labor in a challenging situation.
My skin feels like loose fitting clothes that I try to shake off
Comparing the discomfort of the skin to ill-fitting clothes and a desire to shed it.
I've been looking for survival for so long, why don't you back off
Expressing a prolonged struggle for survival and a plea for personal space.
