Sextile Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brain is fried, my body is contorted
Utterly confused and mentally distorted
Brain is fried, my body is contorted
Utterly confused and mentally distorted
Brain is fried, my body is contorted
Utterly confused and mentally distorted
The opening lyrics of Sextile's song "Mental" describe feelings of extreme mental distress and physical discomfort. The repetition of the phrases "Utterly confused and mentally distorted" and "Brain is fried, my body is contorted" emphasize the singer's state of mind and body. The use of the word "utterly" intensifies the emotions and indicates a sense of helplessness in the face of the distress.
The lyrics echo the common experience of feeling overwhelmed and unable to function due to mental health issues. The use of the word "contorted" suggests physical pain and discomfort, as though the singer's body is literally twisted out of shape by the mental distress. Overall, the lyrics successfully convey the sense of chaos and disorientation that can arise from mental illness, as well as the physical toll it can take on the body.
