Description: i first came up with 6 specific lines at a time when i felt a bit distressed (starting with “what you’re doing is no crime”) - from there on, i decided to expand it a bit more into an “inspection” of my mind, mainly its overthinking and its ability to be overwhelmed. in the chorus (if i can call it that), the lines are linked by a word, this could be also a metaphor for how the brain can wander off (but i did not come up with this consciously, i just realized that it is symbolic :D)
Lyrics:
I can tell you that my CPU’s on overdrive,
never to be shut off in this hellish human hive,
clocks spinning, who programmed it to run these speeds?
probably it’s been launched up on buggy seeds
shut it off, i’ve tried force quit to no avail,
the processes keep running and they never bail
everything’s a system service, no control
never had a task manager, no patrol
how can i turn off my mind?
for just 2 seconds a day
tell right away
my thoughts aren’t even kind,
some i’d like to remove
i don’t approve
i want it shut DOWN
with the endless THOUGHTS
on how i can rest my MIIIIND?
lending me a HAND
over a GUIDE
me to a few minutes of peace
even when i’m close to mindful relaxation,
some folks are always there to ruin this great sensation,
never feeling like i’m safe without a mask,
overtaking all as my heaviest task,
always being loud, how do they roll?
let’s go ahead and with high volume, take this call
forced family lunch, i can ID the chew,
no hours pass without allergy achoo
What you’re doing is no crime,
But I can’t not be annoyed,
brain overload
I wish I could pause the time
So the noise could stay away
For half a day
i want it shut DOWN
with the endless SOUNDS
stressful and it is, TRUST
is the first STEP
beside me and maybe
we can find a compromise
