Artful Violence: A Portrait of Despair Transformed
Lyrics
You look so effortless
You appear effortlessly composed or natural.
Toying with your hair
Playing with your hair in a casual manner.
I wish I could be effortless
Expressing a desire to achieve a state of effortlessness.
Not settling for despair
Refusing to accept a state of hopelessness.
Make me a demonstration of violence as an art form
Requesting a demonstration of violence as a form of artistic expression.
Take this flesh and make me new
Symbolically asking for a transformation of self, using flesh as a metaphor.
Change my name to something true
Desiring a name that reflects authenticity and truth.
Strip me down to build me up
Metaphorically asking to be broken down to be rebuilt stronger.
Bisect me then sew me up
Expressing a willingness to undergo a transformative process.
Make my perception reality
Seeking a convergence of perception and reality.
Finalize the portrait
Desiring the completion of a representation or image.
Hang me up and praise me
Asking to be acknowledged and praised after transformation.
Tell me that I'm worth it
Yearning for affirmation of self-worth.
Pull back the veil and witness
Inviting scrutiny and acknowledgment of true identity.
No life left in my eyes
Acknowledging a loss of vitality or spirit.
It's been taken and wasted
Expressing that life has been taken and wasted by victimizers.
By those who victimize
Highlighting victimization by those who harm.
My will's been bent and twisted
Indicating a distortion and manipulation of personal will.
I'm blinded by their lies
Being misled and blinded by lies from others.
I am your masterpiece
Claiming to be a masterpiece, possibly after undergoing transformation.
I am your finest crime
Characterizing oneself as a remarkable or exceptional transgression.
