Lobotomy
Sentries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me how your life's so broken
I just had a bad day even though it's good
Opening my car door cause I know I should
I feel like shit
And I'm going deaf
AAAAAAAAAAA
Headache headache
Don't know what to write
So I just put down some filler
You don't know life
Cause you never saw me dance
On the stage with my band
Never even got a chance
Oh I don't love you no more
I said but I'm just trying to figure out
What rhymes with heavy metal crackwhore
It's really not that deep but now you're
fucking up your Jeep
Tryna figure out
what I mean by "a lobotomy"
Take me out to dinner
Buy your dad some blow
You say you're a romantic
but I know you'd never show
I feel like shit
And I'm going deaf
AAAAAAAAAAA
Headache headache
Give me the painkillers
Tired of guitars but I'm still a Built to Spiller
You don't know life
Cause you never saw me bomb
A Remo Drive song
Right in front of some guy's mom
Ooh I don't love you oh no
I said but I'm just trying to figure out
What rhymes with ADHD gym-bro
Lookin at my feet
Now you're feeling up my feet
Kinda weird but I make money
Selling pictures of my feet
Now that you can see
Just how fuckin easy
It is to write some really stupid lyrics bout my magic feet
I feel like shit
And I'm going deaf
OOOOOOOH NELLY

The lyrics in Sentries's song "LOBOTOMY" touch on themes of frustration, self-deprecation, and a sense of disconnect from both oneself and others.
The opening lines, "Now I'm open, tell me how your life's so broken," suggest a sense of vulnerability and a desire for someone else to share their pain and struggles. The mention of having a bad day despite it being supposedly good reflects a feeling of being trapped in negativity. This is further emphasized by the repetition of "AAAAAAA" and the mention of a headache, which could symbolize the overwhelming emotions and stress the singer is experiencing.
The lyrics then evoke a sense of frustration and writer's block, with the line "Don't know what to write, so I just put down some filler." It seems that the singer is struggling to express themselves creatively and is resorting to using empty words or clichés to fill the void. The mention of never being seen dancing on stage or having a chance with their band could symbolize missed opportunities or a sense of unfulfilled potential.
The following lines, "Oh, I don't love you no more, I said, but I'm just trying to figure out what rhymes with heavy metal crackwhore," reveal a mix of anger, confusion, and sarcastic humor. The singer may be expressing disconnection from a specific person or relationship, while also acknowledging their own difficulties in finding the right words or understanding their own emotions.
The later verses touch on themes of disillusionment and the feeling of being misunderstood. The singer mentions being tired of guitars but still being associated with a specific band (Built to Spill) and feeling like they are being typecast. The reference to bombing a performance of a Remo Drive song in front of someone's mom suggests a lack of confidence or disappointment in their own musical abilities.
The final lines introduce a sudden shift in tone, mentioning selling pictures of feet for money. This could be interpreted as a sarcastic commentary on the shallow nature of modern society and how superficial things can bring monetary success. The repetition of "moneymoneymoney" emphasizes the theme of materialism and potentially mocks the obsession with financial gain.
Overall, the lyrics of "LOBOTOMY" touch on feelings of frustration, self-doubt, and a sense of disconnection from oneself and others. The use of sarcastic humor and exaggerated imagery adds layers of complexity and highlights the singer's struggle to navigate their emotions and find fulfillment in their creative pursuits.
