Keep Your Nails Short
Breaking the Chains: A Poignant Tale of Modern Existence
Lyrics
Can you describe your everyday life
Asking about the listener's daily life
Overwhelmed in your empty cage
Feeling overwhelmed within confinement
Eating well, sleeping well
Leading a routine of good eating and sleeping habits
Waiting for paying your rent
Waiting to fulfill financial obligations
What's the deal? What's your name
Questioning identity and purpose
There's a crowd in you coin shaped head
Symbolizing inner complexity with a crowded mind
You can't get sick, you can't play
Unable to experience vulnerability or playfulness
Men don't cry, men don't hide
Reflecting societal expectations on men
How do you live craving for nothing at all?
Questioning a purposeless existence
Keep your house clean
Advocating for a clean living space
Keep your nails short
Encouraging maintaining short nails, possibly a metaphor for control
How far can you walk with those expensive shoes?
Challenging the value of expensive possessions
Oppressed by fake dreams
Feeling oppressed by unattainable dreams
No one should die like you
Expressing empathy for a tragic death
Many years ago you were free
Recalling a time of freedom in the past
Father's words reoccur to you
Revisiting parental advice about achieving success
Be someone or you'll be like a plant with no sun
Warning against a stagnant, unfulfilled life
Now you're a worm in a plastic dream
Describing a diminished existence in a false reality
You can't find love, you can't find peace
Expressing difficulty in finding love and peace
No one to trust, no one to feed with you heart, with your lungs
Lamenting a lack of trust and connection with others
With your heart, with your lungs
Emphasizing the importance of genuine emotions
Troubles
Mentioning troubles or challenges
How do you live craving for nothing at all?
Reiterating the theme of a purposeless existence
Keep your house clean
Reemphasizing the importance of cleanliness in life
Keep your nails short
Reiterating the metaphor of maintaining control through short nails
How far can you walk with those expensive shoes?
Questioning the value of luxury items like expensive shoes
Oppressed by fake dreams
Expressing frustration with unattainable dreams
No one should die like you
Reiterating empathy for those who suffer
Our time is gone
Declaring the end of a certain time period
