Lost in my own World

Lost in my own World
Lost in my own World

Getting to the right

Losing your mind
Losing your mind
It's blurring
It's fading
Your soul's on fire
It's black and white
Burning inside

Burning into white
Burning inside
Burning inside
Burning into night
Yourself collides
Yourself collides
Yourself into mine
Yourself collides
Yourself collides
Yourself splinters like
Losing your mind
Losing your mind
It's blurring
It's fading
Your soul's on fire
It's black and white
Blurring the light
Blurring the light
It's ours for the taking
Flickering colors

The lyrics of Static‐X's song Black and White are focused on the idea of being lost in one's own world and the duality of life. The opening lines, "Lost in my own world" repeated three times, emphasize the isolation and detachment from reality that can come from being too self-absorbed. The following lines, "Getting to the right, getting to the wrong, getting mine," suggest a need for balance and self-discovery, as the singer seeks the right path while also indulging in personal gain.
The song then shifts to a more introspective view, touching on the struggle of losing one's own identity, with lines like "Losing your mind, it's blurring, it's fading, your soul's on fire, it's black and white." This speaks to the internal turmoil that can come from losing oneself, and the idea of a soul being on fire adds a sense of urgency to the lyrics.
The chorus of the song, "Burning inside, burning into white, burning into night," repeats the idea of internal turmoil and emphasizes the duality of life. The line "Yourself collides, yourself into mine, yourself splinters like," suggests the singer's inability to reconcile their own conflicting emotions, leading to a breakdown of the self.
Overall, the lyrics to Black and White deliver a powerful message about the need for balance and self-discovery, as well as the consequences of being too self-absorbed and disconnected from reality.
