Sexualized
Deadsun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am over-sexualized.
Enter my mind,
Deep inside there is nothing else that you will find.
Always the same,
Underneath the skin I'm searching for a name.
As I'm feeling the hate all bubbling above my head.
Falling from grace,
'Til temptations wings carry me away
(All of my life, I am denied)
That this way of life has become an addiction
(Look in my eyes, and justify)
The sickness is rising again
'Cause I am over-sexualized, yeah.
And now I am over-sexualized.
Under my bed,
There's a long life story waiting to be read.
I sit alone,
Just to spy on the virus that cause my headaches on.
Wasting away,
As afraid that my point of view will change one day
It's crazing my eyes,
Now it's pulling my strings as my soul divides
(All of my life I am denied)
That this way of life has become an addiction
(Look in my eyes and realize)
I'm failing my conscience again
'Cause I am over-sexualized, yeah
And now I am over-sexualized
(All of my life I have been blind)
That this way of life has secured my damnation
(I close my eyes, I'm terrified)
This disease has no vaccine to erase it
(Look in my eyes and justify)
The sickness is holding my head
'Cause I am over-sexualized, yeah
I am over-sexualized
I taste the candy and it sure is sweet
But, it can't be everything I need
I can't deny, the sickness is right.
It's all in my mind
It's all in my mind
I can't say no...
