Running With Scissors
Breaking the Chains: Unveiling the Ugly Truth
Lyrics
Wasn't the voices in my head
Reflecting on the internal thoughts and voices.
Those places I don't go
Avoiding certain places with unfamiliar people.
With people I don't know
Choosing social circles carefully.
Keep building the box to bury it
Continuously trying to hide and suppress certain issues.
Tidy up this mess
Attempting to clean up a chaotic situation.
But it won't stop
Despite efforts, the problem persists.
It's got me locked up now
Feeling trapped and restricted now.
I mean to get ugly
Expressing a willingness to confront unpleasant truths.
Intend to do something
Having a determined intention to take unconventional actions.
They won't like
Anticipating disapproval for the chosen course of action.
I've got my reasons
Having valid justifications for the decisions made.
They're never gonna stop us now
Confidently facing opposition and obstacles.
We're a violent wind
Asserting a powerful and disruptive force.
Twisting everything
Causing chaos and disruption in various aspects.
They're never gonna stop us now
Confident that nothing will hinder progress.
Their opinions staved
Ignoring and dismissing opposing views.
Like broken weathervanes
Comparing critics to unreliable indicators.
It wasn't the fables they invent
Dismissing fabricated stories and myths.
Insipid and fractured
Describing stories as bland and fragmented.
The greenest of pastures
Referring to the best available options.
No matter how many train wrecks they design
Regardless of challenges, moving forward.
De-railing every time
Overcoming obstacles despite recurring setbacks.
I won't get choked up
Remaining emotionally unaffected.
I won't get roped up now
Resisting being controlled or manipulated.
More starving than hungry
Experiencing severe deprivation.
Less honest than angry with myself
Acknowledging inner conflict and self-directed anger.
Can't stop the bleeding
Unable to stop emotional pain.
No matter who's accused
Highlighting shared experiences of suffering.
We all have been abused
Pointing out widespread mistreatment.
This cage, a victims triangle
Describing a situation of mutual victimhood.
Leaves us trapped, confused
Feeling trapped and uncertain due to shared experiences.
Try my very best
Striving to meet expectations despite flaws.
I'm just like all the rest
Acknowledging similarities with others.
I need an out, deliverance
Seeking a way out and liberation.
A place of consequence
Desiring a place of meaningful consequences.
Get up, get out of bed
Motivation to rise and confront challenges.
Clear that mussed up head
Clearing one's mind and thoughts.
There's no place we can't go
Emphasizing limitless possibilities.
If we refuse to play a role
Rejecting societal expectations and roles.
They're never gonna stop us now
Reiterating the unstoppable nature of their endeavors.
We're a violent wind
Reaffirming the powerful and disruptive force.
Twisting everything
Continuing to cause chaos and disturbance.
No they're never going to stop us now
Reiterating the invincibility against opposition.
Their opinions staved
Disregarding and resisting external judgments.
Like broken weathervanes
Comparing critics to unreliable indicators (repeated).
