when i listen to this song i can see a music video about a guy who has been doing stuff he isn't proud off, he finally snaps and wants to change his life by first throwing everything in his room on the ground, then cuts of his hair then walks out of the house and burns everything to the ground, just to forget his past....
Thank you for this song Bret, this was the most powerful piece you've written (to me anyway) and you could not have released it at a better time in my life. I hope I get the opportunity to thank you in person someday.
Had my mom listen to this, she said it feels very NIN/Tool inspired with a little bit of Alice and Chains thrown in. It's moments like this that make me appreciate her having me at 19 lol
Lyrics
I feel it right at the heart of me
and it grips me physically
Dragging down so far below
And it’s a violent vertigo
Digging it in like a parasite
Feeding off what I keep inside
Manifest when I’m throwing trust
To the cold and the nebulous
Something’s changing
Re-arranging me
Just beginning
my own surgery
I’ll cut away everything
And tear away everything
Confining
Defining
I’ll cut away everything
And tear away everything
And I’ll escape myself
I cast off what it means to be
Ruled by the happening
Moving past the experience
Never dwell on the evidence
Breaking it off of the identity
I come and kill it when I contravene
I’m dissolving all of this
In the full metamorphosis
Something’s changing
Re-arranging me
Amputating
what I no longer need
10 dislikes? Maybe they didn't survive their own surgery? .>.
Edit: I understand that dislikes and likes will fluctuate, so please don't correct me. I'm just making a quick, clever comment. Thanks! ^-^
This song is really deep. When i hear the lyrics it makes me think and remember how changing a bad habit is so much harder then starting one. That's why i like his songs because they always have a good real life meaning to them.
