Civil Strife
Struggling with Inner Conflict: "Civil Strife" by Vivid Fever Dreams
Lyrics
Maybe we got too caught up
Feeling overwhelmed, possibly by trivial matters
Dealing with the little things
Focused on minor issues instead of more significant ones
One second we're chilling and then bam
Unexpectedly, time passes swiftly
Just like that a year flew by
Realization of time passing quickly
Look around and see the whole gang
Observing friends or peers achieving their goals
Achieving their dreams
Successes of others causing jealousy or envy
Overcome by this creeping envy
Feeling envious due to others' achievements
The inner lizard speaking
Reference to primal instincts causing envy
The clock is ticking down
Time is passing by
The competition is grows stronger
Competition is intensifying
It's a zero-sum game
Belief that success comes at others' expense
After all, the people on top are ruthless
Successful people can be ruthless
This club is kind of exclusive
A group or situation being exclusive
Unless your willing to change
Being willing to change to fit in
Take back, take control
Regaining control over emotions and actions
Reject these primal instincts
Resisting primal urges
It's civil strife
Conflict within oneself and society
Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
Internal struggle caused by societal tensions
Mindless, unease leads me to
Restlessness leading to self-harm
Self-inflict all my wounds
Causing harm to oneself due to inner conflict
Civil strife
Repeated emphasis on internal and external conflict
Civil strife
Continuation of the internal struggle and conflict theme
Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
-Take a walk down round the neighborhood
-Resetting my headspace
-Compare my car, see how nice their house is
-Jealous thoughts just won't leave be
-Escape this cut throat attitude
-Easier said
-Can't see the bigger picture with
-Your face shoved in the glass
-Take back, take control
-Reject these primal instincts
-It's civil strife
-Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
-Mindless, unease leads me to
-Self-inflict all my wounds
-Civil strife
-Civil strife
-Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
-Civil strife
-Civil strife
-Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
-Civil strife
-Civil strife
-Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
-Civil strife
-Civil strife
-Civil strife, lately tearing me in two
