Dionysus
Miocene Lyrics

High... higher than the stars...
Feeling elevated and elated beyond ordinary existence.

Soft focussing
Viewing the world from a gentle perspective.

And so certain of everything but
Despite having confidence in oneself, there is still much uncertainty.

Nights fall so much darker now
The passage of time can make the present appear bleak and uncertain.

Sweet mother money pulled you in
The allure of wealth and material possessions can be enticing and addicting.

Into the corporate cowshed squealing at first
Despite resistance, people are often trapped in the corporate world.

But eventually we all sleep
Despite struggles, people can become complacent and indifferent.

A forgetful smile on our faces
People can become content with their situation and forget the hardships that brought them there.

With our spiteful lord and god
Money and materialism can become the focus of one's life, replacing any sense of morality or spirituality.

Cold enough to fake it
Lacking genuine emotions and instead pretending to feel as expected.

The tears in our eyes
Emotions can be difficult to express or even understand.

Older than the innocence we fake
Despite putting on a facade of innocence, there is a sense of worldliness and cynicism.

Yet so much more alive
Despite the negative aspects, life can still be thrilling and dynamic.

...but...
However,

I am an island of madness [in this sea of method]
Being unique or unconventional while others follow traditional ways.

Marooned by my self-reference [as scene sharks circle]
Having only oneself to rely on, surrounded by those who may turn hostile.

The ego has landed [I watched them line up]
Having a strong sense of self, watching others who may lack it or follow the crowd.

To sell their stunted little souls [to the highest bidder]
Giving up one's values or self-respect for the sake of monetary or material gain.

In this sea of sense
In a world where everything is expected to make sense and be rational.

Of comfort and contentment
A world where people are satisfied with mediocrity and complacency.

When I pulled you close to me you couldn't see
Trying to connect with someone who is blind to deeper emotions or connections.

I needed more than your protection
Craving a deeper connection than just surface level support from others.

Than your pity, than your face, than your gimmick
Not being content with superficial attention or care.

We exist with no limits, but as you amputate the heart within it
Humans have the potential for boundless power and creativity, but can also harm themselves by ignoring emotions and feelings.

Depart...
Leaving or separating oneself from toxic or unfulfilling relationships or situations.

Until I tear them all apart with it
Taking action to end negative patterns or relationships.

Step by step
Slowly and deliberately making progress.

Inch by inch
Making progress in small increments.

Bit by bit (you fit right in)
Piece by piece, someone falls into the same monotonous routine as everyone else.

Brick by brick
Progressing with a strong, steady foundation.

An elemental fuck you
A strong and powerful rejection of societal norms or limitations.

To my traditional comtemparies
Rejecting the values and practices of those who follow more conservative or conformist lifestyles.

The peddlers of self-parody
People who have given up on genuine self-expression in favor of cliches or stereotypes.

And intellectual cowardice (saccarine sweet and full of shit)
Rejecting those who are intellectually dishonest or insincere.

Changing with the tide and constantly
Adapting to different circumstances and situations.

Begging food, sweet semen from the dick that suckles you
Being willing to accept whatever is handed to you, even if it comes from an unsavory source.

Suck hard succubi, bob breathe and release
A metaphorical call to action, to be more assertive and take what one wants from life.

Soft lights and elevator music
A comfortable, familiar environment with little stimulation or excitement.

Vaseline on the lens and your aching mouth
A distorted, unrealistic view of reality that causes discomfort.

You've been castrated
Having one's power or agency taken away, often by societal or economic pressures.

And the irony is killing me softly
The tragic reality of one's situation, juxtaposed with the superficial facade of normalcy and politeness.

Please believe
A plea for understanding or acknowledgement.

I don't want to hate you
Desiring positive relationships and interactions with others.

Coward
An insult to those who lack courage or conviction.

Four more targets for my rage
Expressing anger towards certain individuals or aspects of society.

This market that feeds on and feeds off the cleverest faith healers
Capitalism and consumer culture are built on the exploitation and manipulation of people's deepest desires and insecurities.

How can I stand here and scream it like I mean it
Expressing frustration or impotence in the face of overwhelming opposition.

When I just want to crank the crosshairs and yell "this one is for the children"
Feeling the need to take drastic, violent action in order to protect what is important.

Welcome back from planet star
Metaphorically returning to reality after being caught up in abstract, imaginative worlds.

It's only reasonable to take what you can
Advising others to look out for their own self-interests when necessary.

Well I'm coming back around
Returning to a more grounded state of being after being swept up in grandiose ideas or emotions.

Because I think we've had a little too much
Becoming overwhelmed or exhausted by a situation or environment.

Sweet fucking reason
A sarcastic or ironic reference to false or insincere politeness or diplomacy.

High... higher than the stars
Feeling elevated and elated beyond ordinary existence.

Deep... deeper than beyond
Having a profound or intense connection to the universe and everything within it.

Sleep... with her loving arms around you
Finding comfort and solace in the embrace of another.

Sleep now... in her gentle loving arms
A metaphorical call to rest and seek comfort from the world.
