Traumatized
Skysketch Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nullified, you've been hypnotized,
You never see the solid ground.
Your sight was unidentified,
You were there, where you were bound.

And so you are traumatized.

You've been here before,

Your ears were shut tight.
You won't survive,
The fall, this time.

You take your chance,
You take your stance,
But you won't survive,
The fall, this time.

And so you are traumatized.
