DIY Scene
Breaking Chains of Conformity: Subliminal Sex's Anthem
Lyrics
I can't look in their eyes so I stare at the ground
I avoid making eye contact and instead look at the ground
I tolerate manipulation 'long as they stick around
I endure being manipulated as long as they stay in my life
They say everything is stupid, yeah they've made that much clear
They express that everything is perceived as foolish or trivial
But if all of this is true then why the fuck am I here?
If everything is indeed meaningless, why am I still present?
But I swear to god if they take me
If they capture or control me
I'll break myself in half for sure and
I will willingly suffer severe consequences
I swear to god if they break me
If they emotionally or mentally harm me
Never put myself back together again
I won't be able to recover or rebuild myself
Lofi DIY, yeah it's all just a game
Referring to a laid-back, do-it-yourself attitude; questioning the authenticity of counterculture when everyone seems the same
Are they really counterculture if they're all just the same?
Questioning the uniqueness of counterculture if everyone conforms
Shaking hands and making plans for how long you're here to say
Making plans and agreements within the DIY community
They're your friend but only 'til they need you out of their way
Friends may be supportive only when they need something from you
And I swear to god if they take me
If they control or manipulate me
I'll break myself in half for sure and
I will endure severe consequences
I swear to god if they break me
If they emotionally or mentally harm me
Never put myself back together again
I won't be able to recover or rebuild myself
Empty words and self importance and they sit there amazed
Criticism of insincere words and self-importance; sarcastic praise for agreeable opinions
Because agreeable opinions all deserve to be praised
Suggesting that conforming opinions are unreasonably admired
I'll be right there by their sides 'cause I can't look away
Being captivated by others' talk despite its emptiness
I'm just so enthralled by all the things that they have to say
Fascination with what others have to say, even if it lacks substance
And I swear to god if they take me
If they capture or control me
I'll break myself in half for sure and
I will willingly suffer severe consequences
I swear to god if they break me
If they emotionally or mentally harm me
Never put myself back together again
I won't be able to recover or rebuild myself
