Taxidermy
Living Taxidermy: Unveiling the Captivity of Love
Lyrics
You just want to be seen with me
You desire public association with me
stuff me for all your friends to see
Preserve me as a display for your acquaintances
I don’t know how I became to be your living taxidermy
I'm uncertain how I became the subject of your controlled existence
on the wall next to the coyote
Figuratively positioned alongside other trophies
you killed my personality
You eradicated my individuality
you pinned my skin onto a plastic mould of me,
You attached my exterior to an artificial representation of myself
living taxidermy,
I'm a living display, akin to taxidermy
coz you don’t know how it feels to be an animal,
Because you lack understanding of the emotions of an animal
you don’t know how it feels to be an animal.
Reiterates lack of comprehension of an animal's feelings
Only heaven knows
Emphasizes uncertainty about one's fate
I’m under your control
Expresses being under someone else's dominance
I need to leave right now
Strong desire to depart immediately
not yours so take me down take me down
Request to be freed from the control of the other person
[17:56, 20/02/2023] Sonny Killington : Go find yourself somebody else
Encouragement to seek another person to manipulate and exhibit
to frame and put up on a shelf take the heart take the soul, the brains as well
Instructs to find another individual to control and showcase, taking everything from them
you’re living taxidermy
Reiteration of being a living display
cause you don’t know how it feels to be an animal
Reiterates lack of understanding of an animal's emotions
you don’t know how it feels to be an animal
Repeats the lack of comprehension regarding an animal's feelings
only heaven knows I’m under your control.
Reiterates uncertainty about one's fate being controlled by another
I need to leave right now
Strong desire to depart immediately (repeated)
not you’re so take me down take me down
Request to be freed from the control of the other person (repeated)
Take me down
Emphatic plea to be released from control
[17:56, 20/02/2023] Sonny Killington : Only heaven knows
Emphasizes uncertainty about one's fate (repeated)
I’m under your control
Expresses being under someone else's dominance (repeated)
I need to leave right now
Strong desire to depart immediately (repeated)
not yours so take me down take me down
Request to be freed from the control of the other person (repeated)
