Morning
Paul S. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm causing scenes everywhere I go
There's a look in my eyes that says
Everyone ever I've loved is dead
Time to wrap my seat belt around my neck
Slam on the brakes
Just to hear my neck snap
Adjust my speech 'til I'm not so menacing
Every morning I decide
What I'm gonna take for who I wanna be
Or what I need to pick up
But it's not working so well today
Daring anyone to come release me
I can't afford to live you better make my light leave
Teeth to teeth, oh I fight,
I'm chewing down your throat to fil my appetite.
This isn't okay,
But as long as I'm not on the floor I'm doing good.
Every morning I decide what I'm gonna take for who I wanna be or what I need to pick up,
But it's not working so well today.
Evert morning I decide what I'm gonna take for who I wanna be or what I need to pick up,
But it's not working so well today.7
The lyrics of Paul S.'s song "Morning" portray a deep sense of anger and frustration that the singer is experiencing. The opening lines, "My anger is getting out of control, I'm causing scenes everywhere I go," suggest that the singer's anger has reached a point where it is affecting their behavior and relationships. They feel a sense of loss, as indicated by the line, "There's a look in my eyes that says everyone ever I've loved is dead."
The next few lines depict a dark and disturbing image of the singer contemplating self-harm and suicide, with references to wrapping a seat belt around their neck and slamming on the brakes to hear their neck snap. This illustrates the intensity of their emotions and the extreme measures they consider to escape their pain.
The following lines, "Adjust my speech 'til I'm not so menacing, 'Cause all these souls I'm leaving murder scenes," show the singer's attempt to hide their inner turmoil and present themselves differently to others. They feel responsible for the emotional damage they leave behind in their relationships, as if their presence leads to a trail of destruction.
The chorus reveals the singer's struggle to find a sense of identity and purpose each morning. They try to decide what they should take or adopt from various aspects of their life to determine who they want to be. However, the repeated line, "But it's not working so well today," indicates their frustration and dissatisfaction with their present situation.
Throughout the song, the lyrics convey a sense of desperation and a desire for release. The imagery of fighting, chewing down throats, and references to their "appetite" suggest a metaphorical hunger or need that the singer is trying to satisfy.
Overall, "Morning" explores the theme of internal turmoil, self-destruction, and the struggle to find meaning and contentment in one's life.

My anger is getting out of control
I am losing control of my anger
I'm causing scenes everywhere I go
I am attracting attention and causing trouble wherever I go
There's a look in my eyes that says
The expression in my eyes conveys
Everyone ever I've loved is dead
All the people I have loved are no longer alive
Time to wrap my seat belt around my neck
It is time for me to contemplate a dangerous act
Slam on the brakes
Sudden stop in order to experience a violent impact
Just to hear my neck snap
In order to hear the sound of my neck breaking
Adjust my speech 'til I'm not so menacing
Modify my language to appear less threatening
'Cause all these souls I'm leaving murder scenes
Because I am causing emotional harm to others along the way
Every morning I decide
Each day I make a decision
What I'm gonna take for who I wanna be
What actions or choices I should make to shape my desired identity
Or what I need to pick up
Or what I need to acquire or obtain
But it's not working so well today
However, my current approach is not yielding positive results
Daring anyone to come release me
Challenging anyone to free me from my internal struggles
I can't afford to live you better make my light leave
I cannot bear to continue living, so please extinguish my presence
Teeth to teeth, oh I fight
Engaging in a metaphorical battle, matching tooth against tooth
I'm chewing down your throat to fill my appetite
I am aggressively consuming others to satisfy my desires
This isn't okay
The current situation is not acceptable
But as long as I'm not on the floor I'm doing good
As long as I am not physically defeated or lying on the ground, I consider myself successful
Every morning I decide what I'm gonna take for who I wanna be or what I need to pick up
Each day, I contemplate which actions or possessions will shape my desired identity or fulfill my needs
But it's not working so well today
However, my current approach is not yielding positive results today
Every morning I decide what I'm gonna take for who I wanna be or what I need to pick up
Each day, I contemplate which actions or possessions will shape my desired identity or fulfill my needs
But it's not working so well today
However, my current approach is not yielding positive results today
