Unveiling Torment: The Struggle Within - The Great Nothing's 'Coming Clean'
Lyrics
One move to spill your guts
Expressing a desire to open up and reveal inner feelings.
But you may fall far out of touch
Concern about the potential consequences of opening up.
Not a word will be unheard
Emphasizing the importance of keeping the words spoken confidential.
And so the stones remain unturned
Choosing to leave certain aspects unexplored or undisclosed.
For one day
Expressing a longing for a specific future moment.
I wanna feel like I could flay my brain
Desire to experience intense emotions or thoughts.
Uncover everything
Expressing a wish to reveal everything.
But deep in digs my crown
Acknowledging a personal struggle or burden.
So I'll just play the clown
Choosing to cope with struggles through humor or distraction.
With my own gun in my mouth
An intense metaphor for inner conflict and self-destructive thoughts.
I need to tear off the mask that my face has become
Expressing a need for self-authenticity.
Burying my brain inside this face has left it so numb
Describing a sense of emotional numbness resulting from self-denial.
I am not real
Questioning one's own authenticity or existence.
I need to feel it, feel it
Expressing a desire for emotional connection.
I cannot heal
Feeling unable to recover or improve.
I'm coming clean now
Deciding to be honest and transparent.
Please could you just help me out
Requesting assistance or support from others.
Maybe I'm ungrateful
Acknowledging a possible character flaw.
Perhaps I'm thick
Considering the possibility of personal shortcomings.
Or its a chemical equation and I haven't got the patience
Suggesting that emotional struggles may have a scientific or chemical basis.
For the basis to face this
Expressing difficulty in confronting or dealing with the issue.
I'm better off getting wasted
Considering escapism through substance use.
But I can't seem to get past
Feeling stuck or unable to move beyond a certain point.
Drowning brain cells by the glass
Engaging in self-destructive behavior through substance abuse.
I'm spinning out on the grass and i need to
Experiencing a disoriented or confused state of mind.
Start confessing my torment
Recognizing the need to express inner torment.
See I wanna move forward but I need a new method
Expressing a desire for change or improvement.
Help
An urgent plea for assistance or support.
I need to tear off the mask that my face has become
Reiteration of the need for self-authenticity.
Burying my brain inside this face has left it so numb
Repeating the emotional numbness caused by self-denial.
I am not real
Reiterating feelings of not being genuine or real.
I need to feel it, feel it
Reiterating the desire for emotional connection.
I cannot heal
Reiterating a sense of inability to recover or heal.
I'm coming clean now
Reaffirming the decision to be honest and transparent.
Please could you just help me out
Reiterating the request for assistance or support.
Every day's disdain
Expressing discontent with everyday life.
Each memory cuts the same
Highlighting the lasting impact of painful memories.
Nothing is what it seems
Questioning the authenticity of experiences or perceptions.
I've died in all my favourite dreams
Suggesting a sense of loss or disappointment in personal aspirations.
