Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't care what might have been
Can you hear my SOS?
Can you hear me scream?
Let's have a look inside your brain
I'm doing my research based on subtraction
How does it feel when the doctor is in
Open your mind, he's my beloved doctor
Open your mind, based on subtraction
Cutting synapses that won't do you harm
Please welcome your host: Dr. Channard
Found myself back in the strangest location
Tied up in chains I feel quite amused
Here comes the doctor, he knows how to treat me
Hear my brain talking, it says: "Please delete me!"
Give me the drill, my skull is breaking
Give me the drill, he almost gets through
Finally reaching the point of remembrance
Childhood dreams, mother and sisters are fading away
You are always going further
You don't care what might have been
Can you hear my SOS?
Can you hear me scream?
The lyrics to Beborn Beton's song Dr. Channard seem to describe a person who is willingly allowing a doctor, Dr. Channard, to perform some kind of brain surgery. The person appears to be fascinated by the process and is willing to open up their mind to the doctor's exploration. The person is aware that the lights are getting dim, perhaps suggesting that there is some kind of risk involved in this procedure. The lyrics also suggest some discomfort, with a plea to "please delete me" from the brain, and with the use of the word "scream."
The song seems to suggest that the person undergoing the brain surgery is doing so voluntarily because they are curious about what the doctor can do. The lyrics use the metaphor of "cutting synapses that won't do you harm" to suggest that the brain is being cleared of unnecessary connections in order to open up new possibilities. However, there is also a sense of danger and risk, with the imagery of chains and the plea to "delete" parts of the brain.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of willingly exploring new frontiers in the mind, despite the risks involved. It uses the metaphor of brain surgery to suggest that this exploration can be both exciting and dangerous.
