Twisted
The People's Thieves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From a darkened room these
Echos left inside my head won’t end til they consume me
I hear you callin'
I hear you callin' me out
You keep on takin'
You keep on takin' me down
I know
Nervous shaking in my legs has got me lookin' psycho
I feel you comin'
I feel you comin' around
To you I’m nothin'
I feel it start to slip
It seems to be a habit
I’m closer to the edge than I have ever been
Maybe I am cursed
Maybe I am gifted
Something tore inside of me
Now everything has shifted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
Call me paranoid
Call it my addiction
But I could lose my head
With just a little bit of friction
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I entertain the thoughts that always seemed to walk alone
I hardly notice as my fingers turn to icy tones
They say they’ll hold me
They wanna own me
But in the end the feelings lonely
(I wait too long)
Oh tell em no
Go on tell em no
(I wait too long)
Now they open up all the doors I own
(I wait too long)
Step out just to breathe
You don’t see what I see
What’s real to you don’t seem to real to me
I feel it start to slip
(And I know that)
It seems to be a habit
(And I see that)
I’m closer to the edge than I have ever been
Maybe I am cursed
Maybe I am gifted
Something tore inside of me
Now everything has shifted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
Call me paranoid
Call it my addiction
I could lose my head
With just a little bit of friction
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I’ve been feelin' twisted
I hide in places you can’t see
But you know walls have eyes here
Watching the ones that lie here
They close
They close their eyes so they breathe
Can’t help but lose your mind here
Won’t even know you died here
Fade off
I stare right through a haze
Of pictures from before
As focus starts to fade
There’s nothing left to hold
Hold
It’s so cold
Call me paranoid
Call it my addiction
But I could lose my head
With just a little bit of friction
I’ve been feelin twisted
I’ve been feelin twisted
The People's Thieves's song "Twisted" is an introspective track that tells a story of a person struggling to keep their sanity intact. The opening lines paint a picture of the singer hearing whispers from a darkened room and being haunted by echoes that won't go away. They feel like they are being taken down by these challenges that seem too much to handle. The lyrics continue with the singer questioning their mental stability, feeling like they are walking on a tightrope, nervous and fearful of falling. The chorus, with its repetition of the phrase "I've been feeling twisted," emphasizes the singer's feeling of being trapped, hopeless and alone.
The second verse delves into the singer's feelings of being cursed or gifted, describing something tearing inside of them leading to a shift in their life. They feel lost, alone, and paranoid, and their mind is in a constant state of fear and anxiety. They explore the notion of addiction, with their mind gradually losing focus with just a little bit of friction.
The final verse reveals the singer is hiding in a place that is concealed from the outside world. They feel watched by the walls surrounding them, with eyes that never close. They are in a limbo state, with the line "Won't even know you died here" implying that they feel like they are no longer alive, just existing in a sort of purgatory. The song ends with the singer feeling cold, with nothing left to hold onto but the memory of what they once were.
Overall, "Twisted" is poignant and shows the inner workings of someone's mind when they are on the verge of a breakdown. It celebrates vulnerability and reminds us that it's okay to feel lost and alone at times.

But you know walls have eyes here
Although I am hidden, I know I am being watched
Watching the ones that lie here
Someone is observing the people around me
They close
They shut their eyes
They close their eyes so they breathe
They are trying to calm themselves down
Can’t help but lose your mind here
The situation is driving me insane
Won’t even know you died here
The situation is so bad, death seems like a better alternative
Fade off
I am losing consciousness
I stare right through a haze
My vision is blurred
Of pictures from before
I am remembering past events
As focus starts to fade
My ability to concentrate is diminishing
There’s nothing left to hold
I feel like I have lost everything
It’s so cold
I feel emotionally numb
