My Reality
Kill II This Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Reality, makes you suffocate
Well I've reached the point each leaper knows
Desperation and the symptom shows
Living is a waste of time
Pay the mortgage then you die
Living is a waste of time
It's reality, my reality
Survival, I will outlive your kind
Depression, depression as my bride
Temptation as the cancer grows
Yeah I've reached the point the point each hooker knows
And I know that God above
Must love me very much
For I have suffered the anguish of many men
I have taken the weight of the world
As rested on my shoulders
And have felt the wrath of wars
As fought inside my head
This nation's plastic paradise
Herod's children we're all sacrificed
An anchor sinking around my neck
Ain't no wonder I'm a fucking nervous wreck
The lyrics to "My Reality" by Kill II This describe the singer's sense of confusion and despair in the face of an overwhelming and suffocating reality. He feels trapped in a world he has created for himself and cannot escape from, and begins to experience symptoms of desperation. Despite this, he persists in living a mundane existence marked by routine and monotony, viewing life as a "waste of time."
The singer's depression is personified as a looming presence in his life, along with temptation, which is compared to a cancer that continues to grow within him. He feels like he has reached a point of no return, comparing his feelings to those of a prostitute who is trapped in a cycle of dependency and exploitation. Despite all of this, he acknowledges that he has weathered many battles and has taken on the weight of the world on his shoulders.
The song is a commentary on the perceived hollowness of modern life, with its emphasis on consumerism, conformity, and materialism. The lyrics reference contemporary issues such as the mortgage crisis and the toll it takes on individuals, the suffocating grip of social norms, and the looming sense of hopelessness many people feel in the face of an uncertain future. Ultimately, the song suggests that our perceived reality may be a construct of our own making, and that it is up to us to challenge and overcome our mental and social limitations in order to find true meaning and purpose in life.

Confusion,the world that I create
I'm lost in my own thoughts with no clear direction
Reality, makes you suffocate
The harsh truth is overwhelming and suffocating
Well I've reached the point each leaper knows
I'm at my breaking point and can't take anymore
Desperation and the symptom shows
My desperation is obvious to those around me
Living is a waste of time
Life feels meaningless and pointless
Pay the mortgage then you die
We work hard to pay bills only to die in the end
Breathe in breathe out live the lie
We pretend to be happy while suppressing our true feelings
It's reality, my reality
The reality I face is my own and unique
Survival, I will outlive your kind
I am a survivor and will outlast those who try to bring me down
Depression, depression as my bride
Depression is like a constant companion in my life
Temptation as the cancer grows
Temptation is like a disease that slowly takes over
Yeah I've reached the point the point each hooker knows
I'm at rock bottom, like a prostitute often experiences
And I know that God above
I believe in a higher power
Must love me very much
I've endured a lot of pain and suffering in my life
For I have suffered the anguish of many men
I've experienced the same pain and suffering as many others
I have taken the weight of the world
I feel burdened with the weight of the world on my shoulders
As rested on my shoulders
This responsibility weighs heavily on me
And have felt the wrath of wars
I have experienced the brutality and trauma of wars
As fought inside my head
These battles are fought internally, within my mind
This nation's plastic paradise
Society's shallow and fake facade
Herod's children we're all sacrificed
Like the Biblical story, innocent people are sacrificed for the greater good
An anchor sinking around my neck
My problems are weighing me down
Ain't no wonder I'm a fucking nervous wreck
It's no surprise I am anxious and stressed out
