Tame
Identity Crisis and Reflection: Unraveling the Meaning of 'Tame' by Taking Meds
Lyrics
On the road where I was brought up
Reflecting on the place where the speaker grew up
In the middle of a dream
Recalling a moment within a dream
I was meeting with my cousin
Meeting the speaker's cousin in the dream
I was pretty sure that we got seen
Belief that they were noticed or observed
I had in my truck a crate of weapons
Transporting a collection of weapons as requested
That was what he'd asked of me
Fulfilling the cousin's request for the weapons
Cause some real estate investors
Causing trouble for real estate investors
Couldn't see their way to leave
Investors reluctant to leave due to issues caused
I tried to back out
Attempt to withdraw or step back from a situation
I woke up to a task
Waking up to a task or duty
Honest enough to hate
Having a strong dislike or resentment
In nothing's morning after
Feeling disoriented or shocked after an event
Feeling stunned feels commonplace
Feeling disconnected from oneself
I don't know who I am
Uncertainty about self-identity
But I know I'm tame
Awareness of being subdued or controlled
As precious time elapses
Passage of time seen as valuable
Again I fill, again I drain
Repeating cycles of fulfillment and depletion
On the same road with my cousin
Revisiting the same location with the cousin
He was different in this dream
Noticing a change in the cousin's behavior
We were in no kind of trouble
No problematic situation, just a message from the cousin
He just had a message to give me
Delivery of a message by the cousin
He said he was out in Colorado
Information about the cousin's location in Colorado
Where he heard that I had been
Where the speaker was rumored to have been
And I spurned a certain woman
Rejecting a specific woman, who turns out to be the cousin's friend
That it turns out was his friend
Realizing the rejected woman's connection to the cousin
I tried to recall
Attempting to remember or recollect
I woke up peeling back
Waking up and confronting the aftermath or consequences
Rubble from the blame
Clearing away responsibility or guilt
There was no Colorado
Realization that the Colorado scenario was false
I ain't even left the state
Not having left the state despite the mentioned location
I don't know who I am
Uncertainty about self-identity reiterated
But I know I'm tame
Recognizing the state of being controlled or subdued
As dreadful time elapses
Viewing time passing with dread
Again I curse, again I pray
Repeating cycles of frustration and supplication
Oh I know I'm tame
Acknowledgment of being subdued or controlled
