Occupied
The Murlocs Lyrics

The lyrics to The Murlocs's song Occupied offer an introspective delve into the mind of a person who is deeply absorbed in their own thoughts while they wait for the bus. The opening line "Had a trip through my vacant head" portrays the experience of someone who is lost inside their mind with nothing concrete to hold on to. The following lines "And the accusations start to spin within," indicate a sense of paranoia that is brought to the surface within their thoughts. The implication is that their inner critic has taken over and is making them feel like they have done something wrong or are being judged by others. However, the singer brushes these thoughts aside with the lyrics "Oh, I couldn't care."

As the person waits for their reply (perhaps to a message or email), they start talking to nobody and listening without any reason or motive. The singer is lost in thought and far gone. This is reinforced with the lyrics "Oh I'm too far gone deep inside, Oh, I'm making a reply." The repetition of the phrase "occupied" in the chorus reiterates the singer's state of mind.

The lines "Sometimes I wish I could pick up my hand, take it back to where I fell off" express a longing for a time when things were better for the singer. They are trying to cling to a memory of a time when they felt more in control, but "when I get to my feet in this gutter it never stops, no, never stops." This further reinforces the sense of hopelessness and despair that the singer is feeling.

Overall, the lyrics to The Murlocs's song Occupied are an exploration of the internal battle between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The singer is trapped in their own thoughts and trying to navigate through a tumultuous emotional state.
