Lyrics

Pushed against the wall

Feeling trapped or cornered

Ruins wastage refuse trifle debris

Describing various forms of waste and decay

It is unnervingly normal

Seemingly ordinary but unsettling

So ordinary that it looms obscene

Ordinary things becoming obscenely significant


Pushed against the wall (Pushed against the wall)

Repetition of feeling pressed against a wall

Smother repress weaken trifle daily

Experiencing suppression and daily struggles

It is confounding but usual (confounding but usual)

Perplexing but common

To be busied by the gross of gross trappings

Being occupied by overwhelming and trivial things


It's not that hard to describe

Describing a situation that's easy to explain

It's a worldwide idle resign

Global passivity and resignation

The hole inside is the only reason why

An internal void as the sole reason for actions

It's not that hard to describe (at all, at all, at all...)

Reiteration of the simplicity in describing the situation


Unfinished and unformed (Unfinished and unformed)

Referencing incompleteness and lack of definition

Disguised inside complex adult bodies

Hidden within complex adult appearances

Cloaked as fully grown (Cloaked as fully grown)

Appearing fully grown but concealing vulnerabilities

Though trammeled by a childlike vacancy

Trapped by childlike emptiness despite apparent maturity


Guess it's ok because you're taken away by whatever you think is true

Acceptance of the situation because of personal beliefs

Guess it's ok because you're taken away by whatever you think is true

Repetition of acceptance based on personal truths


It's not that hard to describe

Reiteration of the ease in describing the situation

It's not that hard to describe

Repetition for emphasis on the simplicity of description

It's not that hard to describe

Further emphasis on the simplicity in describing the situation

The hole inside is the only reason why

The internal void as the primary motivation for actions
