Antidote
Preoccupations Lyrics

Sending current down the barbed wire
Feeling trapped in a difficult situation and seeking a way out, even if it is just a temporary escape.

Burning currency in bonfires
Carelessly wasting resources that are already scarce and valuable.

There's no why
Feeling a sense of loss or confusion without any clear explanation or direction.

And are you passengers approved, time kill is giving you too much to lose soon
Asking if others are capable of surviving in a world where time is always ticking, and the stakes are high.

With a dominance on narcissism in the metasphere setting concrete
Feeling overwhelmed by a cultural or societal emphasis on self-centeredness and self-promotion that seems inescapable.

Ill-affected by significant destruction, might as well be catastrophic, catastrophic
Feeling the negative impacts of a major event or situation, which could potentially cause major damage or chaos.

Bending lies, disgust
Feeling a deep disgust and resentment towards falsehood, and possibly struggling with the temptation to participate in it.

Hiding behind, the protection of the veil
Using some form of protection or concealment to avoid facing the consequences of one's actions or words.

Trying to untangle the map
Attempting to navigate a complicated situation, path, or set of circumstances, which may require a lot of effort.

Everything slips right through your shaking hands
Feeling a sense of helplessness or uncertainty, as hard work or resources may not seem to lead to tangible results.

Whether we ask for it or not
Acknowledging the inevitability of pain, difficulty, or stress, even if we don't feel prepared for it or don't understand why it's happening.

To live is to suffer again and again
Recognizing that life is full of suffering and hardship, and that this may be an intrinsic part of the human experience.

Take the time to catch your breath
Advising oneself or others to take a moment to rest and recover, even when things seem overwhelming or fast-paced.

You're at a loss, you have no thoughts
Feeling completely overwhelmed or disoriented, to the point of being unable to think or make decisions.

No dialogue between yourself
Feeling disconnected from one's own thoughts or feelings, and unable to communicate with oneself in a meaningful way.

And an intelligent objective
Seeking a clear, rational, or thoughtful approach to problem-solving and decision-making, in contrast to being ruled by emotion or impulse.

Bleeding behind, the protection of the veil
Suffering or experiencing harm or pain, while continuing to hide or protect oneself from others.

Hiding behind, the tipping of the scales
Using unfair or unbalanced practices or resources to gain an advantage or protect oneself from consequences.

Information overdose
Feeling overwhelmed or inundated by information or data, to the point of being unable to process it all effectively.

Looking for antidotes
Seeking solutions, remedies, or ways to combat or counteract the negative effects of a situation or challenge.

Uneven ratios
Imbalanced or unequal proportions or distributions of resources, power, or influence.

Under a microscope
Feeling scrutinized or closely examined, to the point of being under intense pressure or stress.
