KULT
Steve Aoki Lyrics

I got the weight of the world on my back
The responsibility of the world feels like it's weighing him down.

It made me slip right through the cracks
The burden is so heavy that he's losing control.

It caused a chain reaction
The weight he's carrying is affecting everything around him.

Now I escape to a world here with you
Being with someone he cares about helps him forget the weight of the world.

Up is down, red is blue
The world feels upside down and nothing makes sense.

We see through all the distraction
Despite the chaos, they are able to see things clearly.

Maybe I should join a cult
In his desperation, he's considering extreme measures to find solace.

At least they'll tell me it's not my fault
He's seeking reassurance that he's not to blame for everything that's wrong in his life.

That the world's a fucking circus
He sees the world as a chaotic, nonsensical mess.

That my life feels fucking worthless
He's feeling hopeless about his own life and purpose.

When it all comes crashing down
He knows that things will eventually fall apart.

We'll see who's laughing now
He wants to prove to those who doubt him that he'll overcome his struggles.

Maybe you should join a circus
He's projecting his own feelings onto others and suggesting they try to find their own worth through a chaotic lifestyle.

So you'll see just what your worth is
He's suggesting that living a chaotic lifestyle will help others find their own value.

In your palace of lost battles
He's referring to the chaos of life as a battle, and that people should seek to find their own victory within that chaos.

How could you be so judgemental?
He's criticizing someone else for not understanding his point of view.

Maybe it's you, maybe it's me
He's questioning who is really at fault for the problems between them.

How you won't accept no more apologies
He's frustrated that the other person won't forgive him anymore.

I don't want to understand you
He's feeling defensive and doesn't want to try to see things from the other person's perspective.

'Cause I know you will stand on me
He's afraid that if he lets his guard down, the other person will take advantage of him.

Maybe it's not a conspiracy
He's considering that maybe not everything is a grand plan against him.

And it's nothing but coincidence
He's suggesting that things might just happen by chance, rather than as a result of someone's intent.

Maybe there's some possibility
He's open to the idea that there might be more to life than he has considered.

That I'm not insignificant
He's hoping to find validation that he has a purpose and is valued.

Maybe I've been gettin' brainwashed
He's questioning whether the things he's been taught and believe are actually true.

But here I get to take off
Being with someone he cares about allows him to let his guard down and be himself without worrying about brainwashing.

The face I hide behind
He's referring to the persona he puts on for the world to hide his true feelings.
