Unraveling Life's Noise: Skiploader's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
I keep the pictures but I trim them down
Keeping reduced versions of memories, possibly letting go of unnecessary details.
Quick cuts with a pair of dull, left-handed scissors
Swift, imprecise actions using tools that hinder precision, reflecting a deliberate approach to memory editing.
I save friend's faces, but I take mine out
Preserving images of friends but omitting oneself, suggesting a focus on others rather than self in the preserved memories.
I try to show what I would say
Attempting to express thoughts or feelings visually, if only the artist knew how to convey them.
If I knew how
Expressing difficulty in articulating thoughts or feelings, a struggle with effective communication.
The red is positive, the black is ground
Assigning significance to colors, possibly symbolizing positive and negative aspects in life.
I read directions but I learn,
Following instructions but learning through personal experiences, especially through adversity.
Through shocks and burns
Implying a process of learning and evolving through challenges and painful experiences.
These sounds from can through string
Describing the origin and transmission of sounds, possibly highlighting the impact of words.
Move out of mouth
Suggesting that words or expressions move out of the mouth, emphasizing the tangible effects of speech.
I'd take back all the noise I've sent
Expressing a desire to retract or undo past actions, given the knowledge of their disruptive nature.
If I knew how
Reiterating the struggle to articulate thoughts or feelings and the desire to undo past communication.
My heart stores this black charge
Metaphorically describing an emotional burden or negativity stored in the heart.
Burns cold like some dry cell
Comparing emotional burden to a cold, dry cell, possibly conveying a sense of lifelessness or detachment.
Lust is an empty jump start
Characterizing lust as a futile attempt to rejuvenate emotions, emphasizing its emptiness.
Hate is the ugly jump start
Depicting hate as an unpleasant and unproductive source of energy.
I'm trying to unlearn
Expressing a conscious effort to discard or reverse acquired knowledge or habits.
What I know now
Expressing a desire to erase or forget the current understanding, possibly for self-improvement.
Everyone is better off without me
Believing that others would be better off without the speaker, possibly indicating a sense of self-doubt or despair.
