I haven't posted in a few weeks. My "it pay's the bills" job has been taking up to much of my time. Don't you just hate it when life gets in the way of having fun? LOL. Anyway, here's my song for this week.
Is this normal?
Brain seizures
I fight the pain
eyes bleeding
I'm going insane
run for miles
legs never move
drugs in the veins
never seem to sooth
tortured mind
it's all the same
step outside
to try and ease the pain
through the looking glass
I go again
hello insanity
my only friend
fist pounding
against the wall
voices echo
from down the hall
tortured visions
from within my head
most of the time
wishing I was dead
tortured mind
it's all the same
step outside
to try and ease the pain
through the looking glass
I go again
hello insanity
my only friend
keep on trying
to climb the wall
almost over
hear the jailer call
going nowhere
trapped inside
spiraling down
on an endless slide
tortured mind
it's all the same
step outside
to try and ease the pain
through the looking glass
I go again
hello insanity
my only friend
If it's always this way, it's normal
If it's always this way, it's normal
+1
I'd say most of it could count for "normal" for some sad soul except for the eyes bleeding...maybe eyes swollen
I realize that this is from the point of view of a person who is far from normal and so I shouldn't expect to understand all of it. But I see a couple of things as being inconsistent.
If the person is tortured to the point of wishing for death, why would he see insanity as an old friend?
This verse doesn't seem to fit:
keep on trying
to climb the wall
almost over
hear the jailer call
Maybe it's meant as a metaphor or maybe the singer sees his situation as the same as being in jail, even though it is probably some other kind of institution.
