DJ Krush Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on
I have screamed until my veins collapsed
I've waited as my times elapsed
I wished for this, I bitched at that
I've left behind this little fact
You cannot kill what you did not create
I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then I swear I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise
I guess I'll save the best for last
My future seems like one big past
You're left with me 'cause you left me no choice
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it
Put me back together or separate the skin from bone
Leave me all the pieces
Then you can leave me alone
Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I've found out the hard way
Nothing is what it seems
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
All I've got, all I've got is insane
The lyrics in DJ Krush's song Duality seem to express a struggle with mental pain and anguish that has become overwhelming. The singer describes their attempt at coping with the pain by pushing their fingers into their eyes, though it is only a temporary relief. The pain, described as working its way inside, feels relentless and inescapable. The second verse speaks to a feeling of being stuck; the singer has both wished for and complained about their current situation and is now resigned to living with an unbearable amount of fate. They acknowledge that they cannot be destroyed since they were not created by anyone else - perhaps a reflection of feeling like they must face their mental battles alone.
The idea of leaving behind bits and pieces and being left alone could be interpreted as a wish for some sort of release from the pain. The singer is asking to be put back together or separated, indicating that they are uncomfortable with their current state. They seem to question whether reality is truly better than a dream, suggesting that their situation may feel like a nightmare that they cannot wake up from. The repeated line "All I've got is insane" highlights a feeling of isolation and desperation - this seems to be a deeply personal struggle that the singer feels they cannot escape.
