Crises
Danny Denial Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sucking on arid days
The overcast overtakes me
Tongue a pill if it's real
I've got a crack in my skull
Tell me if it's terminal
My acid swims all around
Eat the cow, kill me nowEat the cow, kill me now
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
I never sleep anymore
I'm stuck in a mortal coil
The clock is a caustic cause
It's 9/11 again
I'm dating a succubus
In love with our own reflections
So bored with our mutual boredom
Gorge the void, null and void
Gorge the void, vull and noid
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
And I build these things to watch them burn
And I bury them with all my failures
And it's self destructive behaviour
It's self destructive behaviour
And I love you but in the abstract
Yeah I love you in the abstract
And it's pathological behavior
It's pathological...Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina...
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
Oh, it's a little late now
The lyrics to Danny Denial's song "Crises" convey a sense of unease, discontentment, and existential crisis. The singer in the song seems to be grappling with their mortality and the passing of time. They describe their days as arid, indicating a lack of fulfillment or meaning. The overcast overtaking them reflects a sense of darkness and despair.
The mention of a crack in their skull raises the question of mental and emotional instability. They ask if it's terminal, suggesting that they may be experiencing a profound internal struggle. The mention of acid swimming all around could be interpreted as a metaphor for a chaotic and overwhelming reality.
The line "Eat the cow, kill me now" expresses a desire to escape or find release from their suffering. It suggests a longing for an end to their pain or a drastic change to their circumstances. The repetition of the phrase "Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina" reflects a sense of hopelessness, as they feel it's too late for a sudden and miraculous intervention to solve their problems.
The singer reveals feelings of disconnection and dissatisfaction in their relationships, describing themselves as stuck in a mortal coil and dating a succubus. They mention being bored with their mutual boredom, which implies a lack of fulfillment or excitement in their interactions.
The last part of the song suggests self-destructive behavior and a complicated love. The singer describes building things just to watch them burn, burying their failures, and engaging in pathological behaviors. They express love in the abstract and acknowledge it as something unhealthy.
Overall, "Crises" explores themes of existential crisis, dissatisfaction, and a yearning for change or escape. It delves into the darkness of the human psyche and the complexities of relationships.

A constant sense of darkness and gloom surrounds me
Tongue a pill if it's real

I've got a crack in my skull
I feel mentally broken and damaged
Tell me if it's terminal
I need reassurance about whether my condition is permanent and irreversible
My acid swims all around
My mind is consumed by negative and corrosive thoughts
Eat the cow, kill me now
I am so overwhelmed that I would rather face death than continue to suffer
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina
I have lost hope in any miraculous intervention that could save me from my struggles
I never sleep anymore
Insomnia has taken over my life and I can't find rest
I'm stuck in a mortal coil
I feel trapped in the cycle of life and death, unable to escape
The clock is a caustic cause
Time feels like a destructive force that eats away at me
It's 9/11 again
I am haunted by the memories and trauma of a past event
I'm dating a succubus
I am in a relationship with someone who drains my energy and happiness
In love with our own reflections
We are obsessed with ourselves and our own image
So bored with our mutual boredom
We are both tired of our shared monotony and lack of excitement
Gorge the void, null and void
We try to fill the emptiness within us, but it always remains empty and meaningless
And I build these things to watch them burn
I create things or relationships, knowing they will eventually fall apart and bring me pain
And I bury them with all my failures
I hide my past mistakes and disappointments, burying them deep within me
And it's self destructive behaviour
My actions and choices only lead to my own harm and suffering
And I love you but in the abstract
I have a detached and theoretical love for you, lacking any real depth or connection
Yeah I love you in the abstract
Even though I have these abstract feelings for you, they don't bring me true happiness or fulfillment
And it's pathological behavior
My actions and thoughts exhibit a deeply ingrained and unhealthy pattern
Oh, it's a little late for another deus ex machina
A deus ex machina...
I have lost faith in any sudden and unexpected solution that could save me from my troubles
