Kick
Silent Echoes: Unveiling the Struggle in 'Kick' by Twilight Creeps
Lyrics
Seems like he's heading for catastrophe
Seems like the person is heading towards a disastrous situation.
Can't seem to function like a normal human being
Struggling to function in a typical human way.
He prays to god sometimes it helps him breathe
Turning to prayer for relief, suggesting a need for help.
Now science tells him that there's no one listening
Despite praying, there is a feeling of abandonment as science denies a responsive higher power.
Now Jonny can't kick like this no way no more
Jonny is unable to engage in a certain activity, possibly metaphorical, implying a loss or limitation.
And Jonny won't miss those kids that picked on poor old Jonny boy
Jonny does not regret leaving behind those who bullied him.
No self respect repressed
Describing a lack of self-respect and emotional suppression.
Expresses himself through vows of silence
Expressing emotions through silence, possibly highlighting difficulty in communication.
Hangs at the bottom of his family tree
Jonny feels neglected, drawing a connection to family issues.
Grown by neglect and charred by spoon fed tragedy
Experiencing emotional damage and hardship imposed by others.
His voice gets lost from all his rage and primal screams
The intensity of Jonny's emotions hinders his ability to communicate effectively.
Some times the broken hearts become the blackest sheep
Broken hearts can lead to individuals being marginalized or outcast.
Now Jonny can't kick like this no way no more
Reiteration of Jonny's inability to engage in a specific activity.
And Jonny won't miss those kids that picked on poor old Jonny boy
No regret for distancing from past bullies.
No self respect repressed
Continued theme of lacking self-respect and emotional suppression.
Expresses himself through vows of silence
Expression through silence persists as a coping mechanism.
Between a place of what was and what will never be
Describing a state between the past and an unattainable future.
Knee deep in ash and secrets
Immersed in secrecy and the remnants of past experiences.
Life long hypocrisy
Living a life of contradiction and deceit.
Between a place of what was and what will never be
Reiteration of being in a state between the past and an unattainable future.
Knee deep in ash and secrets
Continued immersion in secrecy and the remnants of the past.
Life long hypocrisy
Reiteration of living a life of contradiction and deceit.
Now Jonny can't kick like this no way no more
Once again, emphasizing Jonny's inability to engage in a specific activity.
And Jonny won't miss those kids that picked on poor old Jonny boy
No remorse for leaving behind those who tormented him.
No self respect repressed
Reiteration of lacking self-respect and emotional suppression.
Expresses himself through vows of silence
Continued expression through silence as a coping mechanism.
