Mannequins
Picture Me Broken Lyrics

He found a home in hell
He chose to stay in a dark place, a metaphorical hell, which became his comfort zone.

He changed his name but couldn’t change himself
He attempted to start anew by altering his identity, but failed to address his underlying issues.

Bid his life farewell with smoke and mirrors
He resorted to deceit and illusion as an escape from reality, ultimately leading to his demise.

Until all his flaws withered away
His fake persona enabled him to hide his flaws, but eventually his true self caught up and deteriorated.

Damaged by the scene
She was negatively affected by her environment, the entertainment industry.

She never sleeps
She is consumed by her ambition and doesn't allow herself to rest.

And won’t eat a thing
She is willing to sacrifice her health and wellbeing to conform to society's beauty standards.

Her validation lies behind his zipper
She seeks validation through sexual attention from men.

For her 22 minutes of fame
All she desires is a brief moment of fame, regardless of the consequences.

Give yourself to the Mannequins
Surrender yourself to the superficial, materialistic standards of society.

You’ll die before they let you go
If you cling onto these shallow standards, you will eventually lose your true self and suffer.

I watched them drag you down to hell
The artist observed how these societal standards led the person to an unhappy and dark place.

When your perfect lies and sweet illusions dim before our eyes
When your fake persona no longer fools others and your truth comes to light.

You’ll die of your delusions
You will suffer the consequences of living in self-deception.

You don’t exist now
Your true self has been replaced by a shallow, superficial persona.

You’re the hollow shell of the fears that made you believe
Your insecurities led you to create this shallow facade.

You are nothing without your lies and chemicals
You have become so reliant on your fake persona and vices that you cannot exist without them.

None of your disciples are real
Those who think they follow and admire you are unknowingly supporting a fake persona.

When the mirrors are gone and nobody’s screaming out your name
When you are no longer the center of attention and your fake persona is no longer validated.

When the drugs are all gone
When you can no longer rely on substances to escape reality.

You’re no one at all cause there is no art to mannequin fame
You are no longer a fake persona celebrated by society because it has no true value or purpose.

Die for your plastic creation
Sacrifice the little humanity you have left for your fake persona.

You built all you wanted to be
You created a fake persona to fulfill your desires and ambitions.

Your beautiful fatal illusion couldn’t make you real
Your superficial facade may look visually pleasing, but it cannot bring out your true self.
