Slow
Dr. Atmo Lyrics

Welcome, welcome, welcome everybody to the At Mos
Greetings to everyone, we are here at Dr. Atmo's concert

Walls closing in, getting tunnel vision
Feeling trapped and focused on one thing, losing sight of everything else

Everything going up and down, head spinning
Feeling overwhelmed with constant changes and confusion

Can't breathe let me out, I'm daydreaming
Feeling suffocated and wanting to escape reality through daydreams

Hallucinating, waves keep crashing
Experiencing vivid illusions and being overwhelmed by turbulent emotions

Hands can't stop shaking
Feeling anxious and unable to control physical tremors

So I use the notes as an antidote
Turning to music as a way to heal and find solace

Feel like a poet writing anecdotes
Expressing oneself through poetic storytelling

It allows me to cope and keep afloat
Music helps me cope with life's challenges and stay emotionally stable

I might be at fault chasing a pot of gold
Acknowledging that pursuing wealth may have its drawbacks and consequences

But I'd rather be on the same boat as my homies
Preferring to be with friends and share experiences, rather than pursuing success alone

Than spend my days in a lab coat
Choosing to prioritize creative expression and freedom over a conventional career

I devote my all to the craft
Putting my heart and soul into my artistic work

Strain my throat but it all sounds daft
Putting in effort to convey emotions through my voice, even if it may seem meaningless

Ask myself 'will I make it?'
Questioning whether I will achieve success

And my gut replies 'Can the pope's dick fit through a donut?'
Realizing that the answer is uncertain and unlikely, as indicated by a humorous metaphor

Who knows?
Admitting that there is no definite answer

Oriental loop, Sam I am like Seuss
Incorporating Eastern musical elements into the composition, like Dr. Seuss does with his writing

I'm a little more than a man, like Zeus
Feeling powerful and godlike in my abilities and presence

I stand tall on top of Mount Olympus
Metaphorically representing my elevated status and prominence in the music industry

I twist around like a gymnast
Flexibly adapting to different styles and genres in my music

On the groove, we're the new school
Being part of a contemporary and innovative movement in music

This a who's who of who's you and me, don't fool
Highlighting the importance of individuality and authenticity in the industry

Yourself into thinking I rap nonsense
Challenging others who dismiss my lyrics as meaningless

I got a sensitive moral compass
Possessing a strong sense of right and wrong and expressing it through my music

I been around campus, I'm young
Having experienced various aspects of life and gaining wisdom, despite being young

Louder than Angus, undone
Being more bold and impactful than someone like Angus (possibly referring to Angus Young of AC/DC)

Is my vow silence
Promising to bring attention to important issues through my silence, letting the music speak for itself

AOC versus big business
Referring to the political clash between Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and large corporations

Like a vaccine to the sickness
Comparing the confrontation to a cure for the problems caused by corporate influence

I bring evidence, call a witness
Presenting compelling evidence and calling on someone to testify in support of my arguments

Their abuse is relentless
Highlighting the ongoing and persistent mistreatment or exploitation perpetrated by powerful entities

An overzealous breed predestined
Describing those in power as excessively enthusiastic and fated to act in certain ways

To manifest a greed so reckless
Showing how their desire for wealth and power is uncontrolled and dangerous

I'm a little bit worried 'bout our species
Expressing concern about the future and well-being of humanity

End up rolling around in our own feces
Metaphorically suggesting that human actions may lead to disastrous consequences

Today we dissect pigs into pieces
Describing the harsh reality of animal cruelty and industrialized farming practices

Sell em in the stores next to French cheeses
Highlighting the irony of selling factory-farmed meat alongside gourmet products

Pray baby Jesus never hears about this
Expressing a sarcastic hope that divine intervention will not uncover the unethical practices

Clear you conscience, sins to dismiss
Urging individuals to confront their guilt and seek redemption for their wrongdoings

Ignorance is a bliss, I'm bored but not amiss
Acknowledging that remaining unaware may provide temporary happiness, but personal dissatisfaction still exists

Before I learned to piss I was torn in the abyss
Reflecting on the inner turmoil experienced before gaining self-awareness and maturity

I swore never to miss anymore, never quit
Making a promise to oneself to never fail or give up

Ignore the call of war, the roaring of the ships
Rejecting the temptation of engaging in conflict and aggression

The men on all fours attempting to resist
Referring to soldiers who are forced to submit and follow orders, despite their desire to resist

I can see them on the shore, forced to enlist
Visualizing individuals being coerced into military service against their will

But the more they try the more they submit
Realizing that the resistance grows weaker as they continue to fight against overwhelming odds

Like toy soldiers imploring to exist
Comparing the soldiers' plight to that of toy soldiers, desperately seeking recognition and existence

Might never come home to your wife and your kid
Acknowledging the possibility of never returning to loved ones due to the perils of war

Didn't wanna take a life but you did
Expressing the moral conflict and regret that comes with causing harm or death in war
