Human
Anavae Lyrics

I want to skin you alive
I am so consumed by envy and desire that I want to remove your exterior layer and wear it as my own

I want to wear your flesh like a costume
I crave your identity and desire to replace it with my own, to become you

I want to be, I want to be human
My obsession with you stems from my desire to feel and connect with humanity, to be a part of your world

Take it from me
Believe me, I know what I'm talking about

This place, it ain't too pretty
The world around me is lacking in beauty and meaning

Not what I had in mind
My expectations for the world were much higher and more fulfilling than what I have experienced

It's getting too loud
The noise and chaos of the world are becoming overwhelming and unbearable

I want to lay down
I am exhausted and want to rest from the tumultuousness of life

Paranoia, your disorder
Your irrational fear and suspicion are making my life difficult and unpleasant

Mad bitch, no need to shout about it
Your hysteria and anger are unnecessary and only add to the chaos around us

Don't call me crazy
I resent being labeled as insane or abnormal because of my desires and emotions

There's something in the world
I sense that there is something meaningful and profound in the world, despite my current dissatisfaction

I think you lost the plot
You have no idea what you're talking about and have lost sight of what's important in life

I swore I wouldn't be a bother
I promised myself that I wouldn't burden others with my problems and desires

I thought it was cool to feel
I naively believed that emotions and desires were exciting and positive experiences

Now I'm the fool
I have realized that my previous understanding of emotions was misguided and foolish

What do you take me for?
Why do you underestimate my intelligence and understanding of the world?

This wasn't the plan
My life has taken an unexpected turn, and I am struggling to reconcile my desires with reality

Get away from me
I am frustrated and seek separation from the chaos of the world and others around me

I thought wearing your mask
I believed that taking on the identity of another would enable me to understand and experience their life

Would let me understand
I hoped that this transformation would provide me with insight and comprehension of the human experience

Now I'm just covered in
Instead, I am left with a shallow and misguided understanding of the world, and its negative aspects

The dirty blood of man
My desires and actions have left me feeling tainted and estranged from human connection

Don't think I wanna know
I am not interested in the ugly truths of the world, which contradict my idealized view of humanity

Is being human just a joke, a fake, a filthy liar?
I am disillusioned and questioning whether the concept of humanity is a farce, and its existence is deceptive and tarnished

I wanna tear the smiles right off your skin
I am consumed with envy and resentment towards those who appear happy and content, and want to destroy their facade

If feeling happy is being dumb
I believe that true intelligence and understanding of the world require one to be unhappy and dissatisfied, rather than content and joyful

I wanna fit right in
I desire to be part of the group of unhappy and discontent people, and am willing to go to great lengths to achieve this

So I'll take a knife and I'll try again
I am so desperate to become like others that I am willing to resort to violence and harm to achieve my desires
