So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Ziptied up, can't move my arms
Crushing rocks with Oyster card
So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Crushing rocks with Oyster card
So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Ziptied up, can't move my arms
Crushing rocks with Oyster card
So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Ziptied up, can't move my arms

So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Ziptied up, can't move my arms
(Will I ever be whole again?)
Ziptied up, can't move my arms
(Will I ever be home again?)
No iris, black star and cross
(Will I ever be whole again?)
Skin so soft covered in gloss
(Will I ever be home again?)
Powerline, I hold the charge
Crushing rocks with Oyster card
So nauseous can't sleep it off
Backseat of some car
Ziptied up, can't move my arms
Crushing rocks with Oyster card

The lyrics of "AAA Powerline" by ECCO2K are dark and disturbing, with imagery that suggests violence, captivity, and disorientation. The repeated phrase "crushing rocks with Oyster card" seems to convey a sense of desperation, as if the singer is using anything at their disposal to try to escape their situation. The mention of being ziptied and unable to move their arms emphasizes the physical confinement and lack of agency that the singer is experiencing.
The final verse adds some additional details, such as the mention of a "black star and cross" and the phrase "powerline, I hold the charge." These lines suggest something more sinister and possibly otherworldly is at play, hinting at a deeper layer of meaning to the song.
Overall, the lyrics of "AAA Powerline" are cryptic and open to interpretation, but they paint a vivid and disturbing picture of a state of captivity and disorientation.
