Dysfunctional
Egokills Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make your dim light go black
So soothing
Until it turns you its back
Through the days
I'm walking in my sleep
In the haze
Just like the first blow
It felt heaven sent
Now grey are my rainbows
Nothing in the end
From both ends burns the torch
Can not move a bone
I am dysfunctional
Too far have I gone
To lift this heavy stone
I am dysfunctional
Both ends burn the torch
Dysfunctional
Seasons change
I can smell the scent of spring
Rays of light
My eyes they only sting
Never felt this way before
Every cell full of ache
And the world outside the window
Feels all fake
Where's my magic device
To turn back the time
Once lost in mindless obscurity
One more time for old sakes
Today tomorrow can wait
The song "Dysfunctional" by Egokills talks about how the character in the song is struggling with their mental health and how it is affecting their life. The lyrics "Breathe in, make your dim light go black, so soothing until it turns you its back" shows that the character is trying to find peace within themselves, but it always seems to evade them. They are walking through the days in a sleep-like state, and their inner demons are creeping up on them, making them feel like they are going mad. The character used to feel like they were in heaven, but now their rainbows are grey and, in the end, there is nothing left.
The chorus of the song "Dysfunctional" emphasizes the character's struggles with mental health. The lyrics "From both ends burns the torch, Cannot move a bone, I am dysfunctional, Too far have I gone, To lift this heavy stone, I am dysfunctional" tells us that the character is having a hard time functioning in their life. The character feels like they have to carry a heavy stone and cannot move, which symbolizes how mental health can paralyze you. The lyrics then repeat "Both ends burn the torch, Dysfunctional" to drive home the point of how all-encompassing these feelings of dysfunction can be.

Breathe in
Take a deep breath
Make your dim light go black
Let go of all your troubles and worries
So soothing
It feels comforting at the moment
Until it turns you its back
Until it leaves you feeling empty again
Through the days
As time goes on
I'm walking in my sleep
Going through the motions without really being present
In the haze
Lost in a fog of confusion
My inner demons creep
My personal struggles slowly take over
Just like the first blow
Just like being hit with a punch
It felt heaven sent
It seemed like a good thing at the time
Now grey are my rainbows
Now everything seems dull and colorless
Nothing in the end
It all amounts to nothing in the grand scheme of things
From both ends burns the torch
Out of control in all aspects of life
Can not move a bone
Feeling immobile and stuck
I am dysfunctional
Unable to function properly
Too far have I gone
Gone too deep into my problems
To lift this heavy stone
To overcome this burden
I am dysfunctional
Unable to function properly
Both ends burn the torch
Out of control in all aspects of life
Dysfunctional
Unable to function properly
Seasons change
Time continues to pass
I can smell the scent of spring
I can sense a new beginning
Rays of light
A glimmer of hope
My eyes they only sting
I can't help but feel emotional
Never felt this way before
This is a completely new feeling
Every cell full of ache
Feeling pain in every part of my being
And the world outside the window
The world seems distant and separate
Feels all fake
Seems like it's not real
Where's my magic device
I wish I had a way to fix everything
To turn back the time
To go back to a better time
Once lost in mindless obscurity
Once in a state of confusion and chaos
One more time for old sakes
One more chance to relive the past
Today tomorrow can wait
This moment is more important than worrying about the future

(I do know this already is a lyric video ;p)
Breathe in, make your dim light go black
So soothing, until it turns you it's back
Through the days, I am walking in sleep
In the haze, my inner demons creep
Just like the first blow, it felt heaven sent
Now grey are my rainbows, nothing in the end
From both ends burns the torch, can not move a bone
I am Dysfuntional
Too far have I gone to lift this heavy stone
I am Dysfuntional
Both ends burns the torch, Dysfunctional
Season change, I can smelt the scent of spring
Rays of light, my eyes they only sting
Never felt this way before, every cell full of ache
& the world outside the window, feels all fake
I am Dysfuntional
From both ends burns the torch, can not move a bone
I am Dysfuntional
Too far have I gone to lift this heavy stone
I am Dysfuntional
Both ends burns torch
Where's my magic device
To turn back the time
Once lost in mindless obscurity
One more time for old sakes
Today tomorrow can wait
From both ends burns the torch, can not move a bone
I am Dysfuntional
Too far have I gone to lift this heavy stone
I am Dysfuntional
Both ends burns the torch

Having been practically trapped at home because of constant panic attacks and anxiety, I kinda feel this song. I totally lost myself and truly feel dysfunctional. But hey, it is the music by Egokills (amongst others) which gives me the energy to keep fighting every day. Life can only get better and Egokills, kiitos and keep writing this great music that gives strength for all those daily battles \m/
