The Fragile
L.A.C.K Lyrics

Wake up, happy
I start my day with joy and positivity.

Wash my face in acid
I'm willing to take drastic measures to cleanse myself of impurities and flaws.

I'm glassy, shattered
I'm fragile and broken, like a piece of shattered glass.

Wrapped in bubble plastic
I'm trying to protect myself and keep myself safe from harm.

I'm fragile
I'm easily breakable and sensitive, both emotionally and physically.

Wash my hands in gasoline
I'm willing to take dangerous risks to clean myself and feel pure.

Matches and kerosene
I'm drawn to things that have the potential to harm me or others.

Please handle me carefully
I need others to treat me with care and respect, as I'm delicate and vulnerable.

Damage me
I have a self-destructive urge and may invite others to hurt me.

Sparkly, I'm glossed over
I may appear superficially attractive and put-together, but I'm covering up my flaws and pain.

Come here, yeah come over
I want someone to be close to me and help me through my struggles.

I can tell that something's broken
It's clear to me that there's something wrong or damaged within myself or in the world around me.

Stop, smell the roses
I need to slow down and appreciate the beauty and goodness around me.

I see things in stop motion
I may have a detached or disorienting view of the world around me, perhaps due to trauma or mental illness.

Skin, bone and sun lotion
I have a complicated relationship with my physical self and may alternate between caring for and harming my body.

Skin tone like Diet Cola
My appearance may be unconventional or unnatural, possibly due to a willingness to take risks or defy expectations.

So cold, vodka soda
I may use alcohol or other substances to numb my pain or emotions.

I lost control of it
I feel like I'm spiraling out of control and unable to manage my life or emotions.

Zip-lock of rat poison
I may have a fascination with danger or death, or I may wish to inflict harm on myself or others.

Salt crystals dissolving
I may be struggling with emotional pain or turmoil, as symbolized by the salt dissolving.

Cook off the tap water
I may be taking drastic steps to purify or rid myself of toxins, perhaps to an unhealthy degree.

Lay down at dawn and
My sleep patterns may be disrupted or disordered.

Crawl back up at nightfall
I may have a cyclical or unstable relationship with my own inner world or emotions.

Stop my racing heart
I may be struggling with anxiety or fear, or feeling overwhelmed by my own thoughts or feelings.

Beat, soft, hard
My heart rate may be erratic or unsteady, reflecting my emotional state.

And it stops and starts
My inner turmoil or instability may manifest physically, as my heart rate fluctuates.

Breaks apart and paints the walls
My pain or turmoil seems to be seeping out and affecting everything around me, perhaps in destructive ways.

Where did all this pain come from?
I'm struggling to understand the source of my own pain and emotional turmoil.

Break the laws and sell the cause
I may have a rebellious streak and be drawn to dangerous or controversial ideas or actions.

Break my chains, I change my locks
I may feel trapped or restricted in my life or relationships, and seek to escape or assert my own independence.

I want to talk to the spirit Gods
I may be searching for meaning or connection with something greater than myself, possibly through spirituality or religion.

I talk to you through broken jaws
I may struggle to communicate effectively or authentically with others, perhaps due to emotional blockages or trauma.

Broke my teeth on something hard
I may have experienced pain or struggle in my life that has left physical or emotional marks on me.

I'm missing something
I have a sense of incompleteness or longing, and feel like there's something important missing from my life or myself.

I'll do it all for nothing
I may feel like my efforts or struggles are pointless or futile, but still feel compelled to keep going anyway.

(Vakna, vakna, vakna)
Wake up, wake up, wake up.

Andas in, andas ut
Breathe in, breathe out.

Följ ljuset
Follow the light.
