Defanged
Defanged: Breaking Free from Society's Chains
Lyrics
Keep your head down kid and everything is gonna be alright
Encouragement to endure difficulties by keeping a low profile.
All you need is to succeed so you should never improvise
Emphasizing the importance of success and discouraging improvisation.
You stand in vain, detained consuming all these lies
Feeling futile, imprisoned, and deceived by pervasive falsehoods.
Like you’re the one who is down the drain
Suggesting a sense of being defeated or overwhelmed.
Remember when you took the blame because you lost control
Recalling a past instance where responsibility was shouldered due to loss of control.
Remember when they used that shame to claim it’s all your fault
Reflecting on a time when shame was exploited to attribute blame unfairly.
You better choose stay abused or seize the life they stole
Presenting a choice between enduring abuse or reclaiming a stolen life.
Through guilt transmitted by default
Describing the imposition of guilt as an inherent default.
In this glass dome
Reference to an enclosed space, possibly metaphorical, where experiences unfold.
I’m staying
Expressing a decision to remain within the confines of the mentioned space.
In my mind
Highlighting a psychological state resembling a dark, consuming void.
A black hole
Reiteration of being trapped in the enclosed space and the mental struggle.
In this glass dome
Reemphasizing existence within a confined environment.
I’m waiting
Indicating patience while enduring challenges within the mental space.
In my head a black hole
Reiterating the presence of a consuming void within the mind.
And I start freaking out over the place
Describing a state of anxiety or panic spreading uncontrollably.
And I start freaking out all over the place
Repeating the theme of overwhelming anxiety and panic.
I’m sick of bottling up all of my rage
Expressing frustration at suppressing intense anger and resentment.
I’ll take your fucking shame and shove it in your face
Declaring intent to confront and reject external shame forcefully.
I’ll take your stupid shame and shove it in your face
Reiterating the determination to reject imposed shame assertively.
Take your pride and shove it in your face
Commitment to resisting external pride and its negative impact.
