Jekyll
Unveiling Human Nature: The Intriguing Depths of 'Jekyll'
Lyrics
Are you an animal all the time?
Questioning if one's behavior is consistently animalistic.
Or only when the human slips your mind?
Asking if animalistic behavior arises when humanity is disregarded.
Can you control the temperature of your blood?
Querying control over emotional intensity.
Can you predict the changes in your mood?
Questioning the ability to anticipate mood swings.
Did you evolve from creatures in the dust?
Exploring the evolutionary origins from primordial creatures.
From the beasts and everything that came before us?
Referencing the lineage from prehistoric beings.
Can you control the anger in your voice?
Asking about managing and containing anger.
Do you enjoy a spot of mindless violence?
Posing a query about enjoyment of unthinking violence.
I remember a fight in school
Recollection of a traumatic fight experience in school.
I was horrified
Expressing horror at the mentioned fight.
The evil grins and suffering, were burned in to my mind
Describing lasting impact: remembered suffering and malicious grins.
And it left a scar and I can't go back
Conveying an enduring psychological scar.
But if I could I'd close my eyes
Desire to escape or avoid reliving the trauma.
And let if fade to black
Wishing for the painful memory to fade away.
Do you patrol around your property?
Inquiring about safeguarding one's territory.
Can you defend yourself one against three?
Questioning ability to defend against multiple adversaries.
Can you control your transformations?
Asking about controlling personal transformations or changes.
Can you repair lost relationships?
Questioning the potential for repairing broken relationships.
You're not really sure if you've been born
Uncertainty about one's birth or existence.
But I guess you're really here now (hey!)
Acknowledging present existence despite uncertainty.
Yes, you're really here now
Affirming current presence despite doubts about origin.
Somehow
Confirmation of being in the moment regardless of uncertainties.
I remember a fight in school
Recollection of a past school fight causing horror.
I was horrified
Expressing the distress caused by the remembered fight.
The evil grins and suffering, were burned in to my mind
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the fight on memory.
And it left a scar and I can't go back
Highlighting the enduring psychological scar from the fight.
But if I could I'd walk away
Desire to move away from the trauma if possible.
And let if fade to black
Wishing for the painful memory to fade away.
