The Werner Herzog Syndrome
Embracing the Abyss: The Werner Herzog Syndrome Unveiled
Lyrics
I collapse beneath this business that you built upon my back
I am overwhelmed by the burden of the enterprise you constructed using my efforts.
I'm coming over even though you said I can't come back
Despite your prohibition, I am returning.
You're coming hard
You are approaching forcefully or aggressively.
I don't come at all no more
I am no longer sexually satisfied.
Paranoia found my fall
Paranoia has discovered my downfall or weakness.
I've been waiting for the fall
I have been anticipating a failure or decline.
Because the fall is where the home is
Because a downfall is where the true essence or belonging is.
And I'm coming home
I am returning to a place I consider home.
I told him about all my problems and then he offered up communion
I shared my troubles with someone, and they suggested a communion, possibly seeking solace in religion.
I was pissing blood in womens bathrooms
I experienced a difficult situation, possibly involving self-destructive behavior, in women's bathrooms.
Keeping track of all you're going to ruin
I kept a record of all the things you are going to destroy.
But it's too soon
Despite awareness, it's too early to take action.
I'll cut my nose to spite my face
I am willing to harm myself to express my discontent.
I'm strung out at your mothers place with you
I am in a distressed state at your mother's place with you.
Yes it's true
Confirming the truth of the situation.
And I found you there peroxide white
I discovered you in a state of artificial whiteness (possibly metaphorical or symbolic).
I got the feeling that you weren't alright
I sensed that you were not well.
I'd do anything to make this right from here
I am willing to do anything to make things right.
Sucking blood from a machine
Engaging in destructive behavior, possibly metaphorical, involving extracting life from a machine.
Repel the ghost and end the scene
Rejecting the supernatural and ending a particular situation.
Eyes on prizes kept you lean
Your focus on rewards has kept you physically fit.
As if talking ever solved a thing you need more than me
Talking alone is not sufficient; you need more than just me.
Clutching to your rhetoric while screaming like a lunatic
Clinging to your beliefs and expressing them loudly and irrationally.
You need more than me
You require more than what I can provide.
Go fuck yourself with your bad culture and mine while you're at it
Expressing strong disapproval for cultural practices, including one's own.
Go pray in said sanctioned houses and I'll see you on Monday
Suggesting separation based on religious practices with a planned reunion on Monday.
Of all the rotten shit I've said, well I've said it nicely
I have conveyed harsh words in a polite manner.
But if you show me where it hurts I'll tell you more about the party
If you reveal your vulnerabilities, I am willing to share more about the difficult situation.
