Anesthetic
Drowning in Desperation: Steven Mercyhill's Anesthetic Unveils a Heartbreaking Journey
Lyrics
Something's gotten into the girl again
Something has affected the girl emotionally or mentally.
Something's got the girl unwound
The girl is in a state of confusion or disarray.
Something's got the girl so lost inside herself
The girl is deeply lost within herself due to something.
She may never be found
There's a fear that she may never recover or be found.
Tripped headlong into a hurricane
She metaphorically fell into a chaotic situation.
Backwards jackknife tumble to a fall
A reckless and uncontrolled descent, possibly in life.
Having lived the part she couldn't see the irony
Despite experiencing life, she couldn't see the irony.
Dripping from the bedroom wall
Symbolic imagery of troubles dripping from her surroundings.
It's crashing down, oh no
An impending collapse or crisis is happening.
Turn up the anesthetic
Suggests using anesthesia to numb emotional pain.
Gone underground, so low
The girl has withdrawn to a very low point.
She needs to dull the pain
Using anesthesia to escape or numb emotional suffering.
Before it's gone too far
Preventing emotional pain from escalating further.
Turn up the anesthetic
Reiteration of the need for anesthesia to cope.
Poor pathetic thing
Expresses sympathy or pity towards the girl's situation.
She takes it hard
The girl is deeply affected by her circumstances.
You know she does, you know
A confirmation of the girl's emotional struggle.
You know she does
Reaffirmation of the girl's emotional turmoil.
Something's gotten into the girl again
Suggests a recurring issue affecting the girl.
Something's ruined the picture perfect pose
Something has disrupted the girl's idealized image.
Having been exposed she couldn't bear to look
She cannot bear to face the truth revealed to her.
Quite a surprise
A surprising revelation for someone with keen perception.
For the girl with the x-ray eyes
Reference to the girl's unique ability to see through things.
She's crashing down, oh no
The girl is experiencing a significant downfall.
Turn up the anesthetic
Emphasizing the need for emotional numbness through anesthesia.
Gone underground, so low
Reiterates the girl's withdrawal to a low state.
She needs to dull the pain
The urgency to numb emotional pain before it worsens.
Before it's gone too far
Highlighting the critical need to address emotional distress.
Turn up the anesthetic
Repetition of the call for using anesthesia as a coping mechanism.
Poor pathetic thing,
Expressing empathy towards the girl's unfortunate state.
It breaks your heart
The situation deeply saddens the observer.
This isn't happening, she said
The girl may be in denial about the unfolding events.
This isn't happening
Reiteration of disbelief or denial by the girl.
This isn't happening, she said
Restating the girl's refusal to accept the reality.
This isn't happening
Repeating the girl's denial of the situation.
Turn up the anesthetic
Further emphasis on using anesthesia to cope.
Turn up the anesthetic
Repetition of the plea to increase the use of anesthesia.
Turn up the anesthetic
Continued emphasis on the need for emotional numbness.
