Snakes
Inner Conflict Unveiled: Struggle of Morality and Deception
Lyrics
My mind split in two
Feeling internally conflicted or torn.
Filthy and cruel
Describing one side of the mind as impure and unkind.
The other side will moralize like censors do
The other side tends to moralize like censors, implying a judgmental nature.
And though they fight, they're both inside
Despite internal conflict, both aspects coexist within the person.
So which is more true?
Pondering which side of the internal conflict is more truthful or genuine.
That sounds like something I would do
Recognizing a familiar behavior as something the person would do.
Turn around and ask, "what just happened?"
Expressing a tendency to turn around and question events that just occurred.
That sounds like something I would do
Reiterating a personal inclination to engage in certain actions repeatedly.
Forever falling in that trap
Being trapped in a cycle of making the same mistakes or facing similar challenges.
Your weaknesses show
Pointing out the visibility of weaknesses, possibly more apparent to others than to oneself.
Much more than you know
Suggesting that personal flaws are more evident than the person realizes.
And the truth always eludes
Stating that the truth is elusive and difficult to grasp.
That sounds like something I would do
Repeating a recognition of a familiar behavior pattern within oneself.
Thousands of snakes
Imagery of numerous challenges or deceptive elements ('snakes') crawling up the person's legs.
Crawl up my legs
Continuation of the snake imagery, suggesting a pervasive and challenging situation.
And every night
Reference to a recurring event, possibly representing a persistent issue.
I hear a knock upon my door
Describing a sensation of anticipation or fear related to a perceived threat at the door.
As I lie and itch, I know that it's
Connecting the sensation of itching to a realization that the 'snakes' represent one's own sins.
My sins they're coming for
Acknowledging that consequences or accountability for personal actions are approaching.
That sounds like something I would do
Reiteration of recognizing a behavior as something the person would typically do.
Doesn't matter what you said to me
Emphasizing that external factors or words don't matter; the person's actions remain consistent.
That sounds like something I would do
Repeating the recognition of a familiar behavior pattern within oneself.
It's all in the delivery
Highlighting the significance of how actions are carried out, not just the actions themselves.
Just measure me by
Measuring the person's character by their ability to deceive or manipulate.
How well I can lie
Emphasizing the skill of lying as a defining aspect of the person.
And I'll shoot right through the roof
Expressing confidence in the ability to deceive successfully.
That sounds like something I would do
Reiterating the recognition of a familiar behavior pattern within oneself.
Please, can you free me from my vanity
Plea for liberation from the shackles of personal vanity or ego.
I am a prisoner and I swallowed my own key.
Metaphorically describing oneself as a prisoner who has willingly accepted and internalized their own limitations.
