Chains
DLT Feat. Che Fu Lyrics

Come test me like a bomb straight from murder
Challenge me as if you are confronted with a dangerous explosive device

How comes I got cyclops fish in my water, A
I wonder why I have peculiar creatures in my surroundings that I cannot recognize

Nation of Pacific lambs to the slaughter three
A group of Pacific people who are vulnerable to exploiters

Eyes for my son and an extra foot for my daughter
I have a desire to give my children unique physical features

Gifts from a land that I don't even know I was
I am indebted to a place that I have never been to or aware of

To slow to see that s-car-go you say I'm all
I was not quick enough to notice the snail-paced progress and you accused me of being inadequate

Blow no cash exchange I didn't lie there's a
I do not spend any money and did not deceive anyone, and you can find my picture under the word 'French Fry'

Picture of me in the dictionary under 'French Fry',
A humorous way of saying that their picture is not in the dictionary

no racism I'm out for who's in charge, I'd
I am not a racist and I am interested in the person who is responsible, I want to confront them

Like to lay a fat cable, in their backyard to
I want to leave a lasting impact on the person in charge, I want to make my presence felt

Far they've gone now I'm radioactive strong I
The person in charge has gone too far and now I possess an unstoppable, influential power

Just walk past the switch and all the lights
I can effortlessly control everything around me, switch on or switch off, just like turning on lights

Turn on,no 'last dragon' just left my bones
I do not possess extraordinary martial arts skills like the 'Last Dragon,' but I am physically very fit

Exposed didn't reach no final level yet my body
I may not have achieved my full potential yet, but I am still strong and capable

Still glows, why do you wanna annoy, nuclear
My body can glow in the dark, and I do not understand why you want to bother me, the nuclear boy

Boy with your toy
Refers to someone who is trying to pick a fight over something meaningless and insignificant

Feel the light of one who stays over come some
Experience the essence of someone who perseveres through adversity

Day set your sights and chip away
Work gradually and deliberately towards a specific goal

Chale may I pull you 'side for a second
An invitation to have a private conversation with Chale

Asking you a question checkin' what you reckon
Inquiring Chale's thoughts on a specific matter

Why you letting your guard down with a frown
Questioning Chale's vulnerability and unhappy facial expression

Freaking bout what you wear how you walk
Obsessing over one's personal appearance and gait

Around town did your heads ever think further
Encouraging Chale to think beyond his immediate surroundings

Than threads, instead your dress code of the
Instead of superficial clothing, consider your moral character

Soul wardrobe is dead, mislead maybe why's my mirror hazy
A metaphor for the inward reflection of one's self, and the confusion that can stem from being misled or having a dead 'soul wardrobe'

Morphin into something else my own imae is fading, making
I am changing and becoming something different, and my perceptions of myself are dwindling

Molding, holding, folding, is it more or a movie, Channel z or 3?
Are we as people just figurines being held, molded, and folded by external entities, or is this reality just an illusion like a TV channel?

Stolen stupid as such why is it television be now ruled by a crutch, hairless and fearless
It is foolish that television programming is now being dictated by a mediocre medium that lacks substance, confidence, and hair

Devoid of all shape like a snake, stick, your mouth around the bit that says inflate
Degraded and shapeless, like a malleable snake, conforming to societal pressures, obeying the command to inflate one's ego and persona

Breath deep if a sucker that you be, time is running out for me,
Inhale deeply if you are a gullible fool marching towards your own demise, because time is running out for me, and I need someone to help me

To old for cold rubber making whoopee,
I am too old for meaningless and emotionless sexual encounters

I prefer a woman who is real to the touch, she feels much,
I am seeking an authentic and genuine human connection, physical touch, and emotional response

She be the 'starsky' to my hutch
A reference to the 'Starsky & Hutch' TV show, she would be my perfect partner and complement

You crunched up my sisters to the point of no
You have caused extensive harm to my female siblings

Return, anoint the tan with the ointment, now
There is little hope left, and one can only try to alleviate the pain with soothing ointment

Ken and Barbie burn, crispy pink, with a plastic
An allusion to famous toys, this implies that a person's identity and individuality have been stripped away, leaving a superficial appearance behind that serves as kindling

Sheen turn it over, baste it with a bit of margarine
The superficial appearance is no longer important and should be cast aside, and what is left can be healed and nurtured

'Smells good' the swine taste fine where my Christmas pud
A play on words and allusion to the Biblical story of Jesus' birth, but instead of indulging in pork during the holidays, the singer finds the taste acceptable

I opened up my mind, I severed it straight down
I have allowed myself to be vulnerable and exposed, completely opening up my mind

The middle, consciousness like the ocean started
I have gone to the core and found the essence of my being, and my consciousness expands like the vast ocean

Out from the trickle, inspiration now the damn is
My inspiration is flowing freely and is no longer restrained by any barriers

Broken my brain is open game is over time to
There is no longer any opposition or resistance, all barriers have been broken down, and it is time to move forward

Insert your token, hopin' I didn't see my deepest
I am inviting people to contribute to my journey, but also hoping that they will not exploit my most vulnerable and personal traits for their own gain

Upleasentries my creepy crawlies goupe title
My deepest insecurities and fears, the things that make me squirm and feel uneasy

'insecurities' what you mean? I mean the kind
There is a degree of sarcasm here, questioning why they would need to ask such a question, of course, it's the deep, painful kind of insecurity

That make you worry, buggers like bove and
These insecurities are the type that cause you to worry and obsess over things that may seem insignificant or irrational

Money ain't it funny regardless of emotions
Money is an odd and often problematic concept that can supersede emotions and ethics

That I've found the things that pick you up can
The things that bring you joy and hope can sometimes have the opposite effect

Be the same that put you down, underground in
Something that could have uplifted you can ultimately destroy you, leading you to an emotional low point

The pits of despair way down there, once again
Returning to a depressed and hopeless state, dwelling in the depths of darkness

I've got to make my way from here, bleeding
I need to escape this despair, sometimes with painful scars and injuries

Needing a piece of self discovery so I can
I need to find and understand myself, so I can

Patch myself up and make a quick recovery
Put myself together and have a speedy and thorough recovery

Cause it just soon helium balloon bursting
The situation is becoming tense and could quickly burst, like a balloon filled with helium

Come break, my chains come help me out living in the city ain't so bad
I need liberation from whatever is holding me back, living in the city is not the worst thing and could actually be helpful

Come break my chains come help me (Tights is the gag in my mouth)
An urgent plea for help to escape from bondage, possibly being physically restrained with tights stuffed in the mouth

Tell who's gonna buy who's gonna sell?
A rhetorical question regarding the buying and selling of human lives and freedom
