Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hoo)
Only an insane person would think of something like that like how could you?
Why? No it's not happening, never, not in a million years, not today, no never

(Hoo)
Sitting, feeding my addiction
Needin', need a prescription
Fakes, fakes I predicted
Sitting in my childhood home and I listen
(Hoo)
Finally feelin' like I really grown
(Hoo)
Gave 'em everything I ever owned
(Hoo)
Every single thing I know
(Hoo)
When I die, my son will take on my throne
(Hoo, hoo)
I'm a mess (I'm a mess)
Go through and progress (Progress)
Observe and digest
Am I crazy? not yet (No)
One thing leads to another (Woo)
Before you know it you're ready to go under (Under)
Then you look back and you wonder, what did I do with my life? (What)
Did I live happy? Did I just gripe?
Stuck in my mind and I fight my demons, thoughts of regret as these tears are seeping
I'm leapin,' I'm the deep end, drowning in stress and I'm sleepin'
Everybody coming at me and they're in need of, help (Woo)
I'm not god, don't got the answers (No)
Don't care bout your petty romances (I don't)
I been lookin' for the next chapter (Chapter)
Complete the series and rapture (Rapture)
Convince them I'm the best rapper, leave 'em all shocked, as I walk away in laughter (Ayy)
I know everybody got a vice (Woo)
I know if you don't, you're in need of some advice (You do)
I know you need somebody to open up your eyes (Eyes)
'Fore you're in your death bed with regret in your eyes
Regret in your eyes, deep down inside, eatin' you up cause you wasted your life
Yeah, feelin' sentimental, get the parental advisory
I'm breakin' out my social anxiety through lobotomy
I'm losing my sanity, messed up in this insanity
Artificial people tellin' me that I'm a calamity, uh, losin' sobriety, uh, kicked from society, uh
Lookin at me weird cause I been lacking propriety, uh
Murder 'em all with no remorse, that's the only course, of action, uh
Only course bringing satisfaction
(Yuh)
Ain't no time for distractions
(Nah)
People bringing me dissatisfaction, I'm in a turmoil and I'm filled with anger
Needin' a break, needin' a anchor, If I do not stop, I'll be gone forever after
Life so empty, forever craving power, I'm so hungry, these beats I devour
Step to me and they're cowards (Woo)
Rap my verse then you cower (Hah)
Step back, so bitter and sour
What's wrong? You're a big tough rapper
Not my fault that you can't compare (Woo)
Not my fault you fall back and stare (Woo)
Not my fault that you're so damn scared
Shoulda knew better than to come unprepared
Rippin' it up, boy give it, I am demon it's never enough
I want it all, I cannot fall, keepin' the eye, up on the ball
Yes I will tear, better beware, I know you're scared, I know you're scared
I know you're scared (Woo)
Conceal my feels, I don't speak (No)
All of you thinkin' I'm weak but (Ayy)
I keep the peace, conceal my feels and rarely speak
But karma can be weak, and it's callin' me, another side of me
Fight inside of me, this monotony, no stopping me (Woo)




This is my therapy, my lobotomy
(Hoo)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Active's song "Lobotomy" allude to the struggles of mental health and addiction. The artist speaks of feeling like a mess but also indicating a desire to progress. The first section of the song presents the idea of one's actions being so extreme that only an insane person would think of them. The artist rejects these ideas stating that it's not happening, not now or ever. In the next section of the song, the artist describes constantly feeding their addiction and feeling trapped in their own mind. This is juxtapositioned with the sense of growing up and taking on the responsibility of passing on a legacy to one's son. The artist acknowledges the effects that their previous actions have had on them, leading them to question whether they have lived a happy life or just griped. The artist implores listeners to heed their advice and open their eyes to avoid regretting their life choices.


The second part of the song tackles the idea of losing one's sanity and needing an escape from a world where people are fake and harmful. The artist wants a break and an anchor, but if they do not stop, they may be gone forever. The artist concludes that rapping is their therapy and lobotomy, an escape from all of their troubles.
