Braindead
Evident Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what else to do
Feeling alive inside my mind
I just want to do it again
Braindead
And I'm done now it starts
Brain is dead not just tonight
Fuck my life and hate's all right
I don't care what you think
Taking stuff is just my thing
To hell and back get inside
Seeing clearer feeling the fear
Give me my fuel
I say when I'm done
Look into my eyes
And tell me you don't want some
My world my grudge
Look into my eyes
Braindead
Give me my fuel
I say when I'm done
Look into my eyes
And tell me you don't want some
My world my grudge
Look into my eyes
Braindead
The lyrics of Evident's song "Braindead" delve into the mindset of someone who is trapped in a cycle of substance abuse and self-destructive behavior. The opening lines, "When I'm done taking my stuff, I don't know what else to do," articulate a feeling of emptiness and the inability to find satisfaction without the consumption of drugs or other substances. This person is constantly seeking to replicate the feeling of being "alive inside" their mind that they experience while under the influence.
The repeated refrain of "Braindead" serves as a powerful and poignant statement about the state of the singer's mind. They are aware that their actions are leading to the death of their brain and ultimately their self, yet they feel powerless to stop. The mention of heroin further emphasizes the seriousness and danger of their addiction. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and acceptance of their own self-destruction, as they say, "Fuck my life and hate's all right."
The singer is unapologetic about their choices and dismissive of others' judgments. They declare, "I don't care what you think, taking stuff is just my thing." The repeated line "Give me my fuel, I say when I'm done" reinforces their reliance on substances to feel any sense of fulfillment. They challenge others to deny their own desire for the same escape, looking into their eyes and daring them to claim they don't also crave this release. The reference to their "world my grudge" suggests a deep-seated resentment and internalized anger that drives their self-destructive behavior.
In conclusion, "Braindead" offers a raw and deeply personal exploration of the mindset of addiction and self-destruction. The lyrics reveal a sense of desperation and longing for escape, while also highlighting the destructive consequences and sense of hopelessness that come with this lifestyle. The song paints a stark picture of the singer's dependency on substances as their only source of relief and the callous disregard for the consequences that ensue.
