Lacuna
Emotional Turmoil in the Shadows: Lacuna Song Interpretation
Lyrics
Can't lick your fingers cause one hand's on the sawed-off
Unable to wipe your fingers because one hand is holding a sawed-off shotgun
Smoke & tequila on your breath and then you scoff
You have the smell of smoke and tequila on your breath, and then you react dismissively
"There's nowhere you can go cause nobody ever wants you"
Feeling unwanted and rejected, believing there's no place for you
Kinda hurts but it makes a lot of sense too
It's painful, but it aligns with your experiences, making sense
"I could fuckin' die and nobody'd ever notice"
Expressing a sense of invisibility and insignificance, feeling like your absence wouldn't be noticed if you died
You play the martyr and you already know this
You act as a martyr, sacrificing yourself for others, and you're aware of this behavior
Just malingering psychosomatic
Fabricating or exaggerating physical or mental symptoms without an organic cause
Symptoms in the end it wasn't that climactic
These symptoms weren't as climactic or significant as they seemed
Fear, obligation, guilt and your terror
Emotions of fear, obligation, guilt, and terror dominate your psyche
When it comes to the worst news, you're usually the bearer
You're usually the one who delivers or receives the worst news
Blackmail the earth with your hands behind your back
Exploiting or threatening the world while being constrained or powerless
It's effortless, your powertrip-esque payback
It's effortless for you to engage in a power trip and seek revenge
The future isn't real and the past just repeats
The future feels uncertain and the past seems to repeat itself
But I like this right now in your passenger seat
You enjoy the present moment, particularly being with someone else in their car
It's not very fun living your life
Life isn't very enjoyable due to a constant underlying fear of death
With that underlying fear that you're just gonna die
A persistent fear that your life might end abruptly
Trade oxygen for nicotine so the car can drive
Substituting clean air with nicotine to sustain a habit, even at the expense of health
Until the sun comes up to execute this night
Continuing an activity until sunrise to conclude the night
A whole lot of running got me right here
After a lot of effort or running, you find yourself in this particular situation
A year away from the beach and it's still unclear
Despite being away from the beach for a year, things remain unclear or unresolved
When i'll finally stop waking up
Wondering when the cycle of waking up at an inconvenient time will end
At three in the morning, covered in blood
Awakening at an odd hour and being covered in blood, possibly metaphorical, indicating a disturbing or troubling experience
Not considering for a second that it's someone else's nightmare we're all inside of
Disregarding the possibility that the collective experience is someone else's nightmare
Feels like shattering your
Feeling extreme pain or discomfort akin to breaking your shins while walking back home
Shins on the walk back home
Comparing a dire situation to being tied to train tracks at the wrong place and time, feeling trapped
Getting tied to train tracks
Feeling there's no alternative or escape from the current circumstances
Wrong place, worst time, but there's no where else to go
Being in an unfortunate situation without any other viable options
