Trauma
Synap-6 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day is a good day to renew your trauma
Get caught up in some new drama
Become an expert in everyone's problems
Knowing damn well you will never solve a single one
You start every morning the same way
Pick up your phone and scroll the day away
Before you know, it's half past noon
And you're praying Apocalypse will come soon
It's no wonder you have so much trouble trying to leave the house
You've spent the last couple of months in the basement
Trying to remember where the "good old days" went
But today will be different
Today you will seize it - today you will pick up the pieces
You're gonna pick up some groceries
And maybe call your mother, to tell her you love her

(Maybe for the last time...?)

Okay, okay, okay, try to remember your exercise...
Take a deep breath
Try to forget everyone's got eyes
What you don't realize is
You're invisible, just as intended
And nobody knows what you're thinking
Nobody knows what you're feeling
Anyone could be concealing
While you're concealing your feelings, someone's concealing a weapon
So always have eyes on the exit, otherwise you could be next
Triggered by colors
That one certain smell
Is all that it takes to send you back to that empty hell

I wanna be a good person
But I'm hurting
Every day keeps getting worse




And nothing's for certain
I'm fighting the urge to cut the curtains

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Synap-6's song "Trauma" delve into the experience of living with unresolved trauma and the constant struggle to cope with it. The song starts by highlighting the pattern of seeking out new sources of drama and focusing on other people's problems as a way to deflect from one's own. The singer acknowledges that they will never be able to solve these problems but still finds themselves caught in the cycle.


The lyrics also touch on the isolating and paralyzing effect trauma can have on a person's life. The singer expresses difficulty in leaving the house and a longing for the "good old days" when things were easier. However, there is a glimmer of hope as they declare that today will be different, today they will pick up the pieces. They plan to engage in simple activities like picking up groceries and reaching out to loved ones, perhaps even admitting their love for them, maybe for the last time, hinting at a potential desperation.


The second verse emphasizes the feeling of invisibility and the lack of understanding others have of the singer's inner thoughts and struggles. They feel isolated, concealed, and invisible, while also highlighting the unsettling idea that someone else could be concealing a weapon. The song concludes with a poignant desire to be a good person despite the ongoing pain and uncertainty, while also battling the tempting urge to "cut the curtains," symbolizing self-harm or possibly ending it all.


Overall, "Trauma" explores the recurring nature of trauma, the challenges of living with it, and the constant struggle to find a sense of normalcy and meaning in life.
