Music: This Tortured Soul
Feel the blood warm in my hand, as I pound my fists to sand. Of myself I've lost control, and my mouth drips hot with foam. Directions are closing on everything. Exquisite corrosion, and all that it brings. Keep on talking at my head. F*** with me until I'm mad. I'm tired, so tired. All is lost and all is pain. All is given nothing gained. Understand what breeds a lie, so complete I don't try. Keep on talking at my head. F*** with me until I'm mad.
I'm content here with myself, in my own green living shell. With a creeping swift ascent from a sea of nothingness. I don't mind the losing all that I had, 'cause I've found a new thing...and it's not half bad. I'm tired...so tired.
The lyrics of "Tired" by This Tortured Soul convey the feeling of complete exhaustion and loss of control. The opening lines "Feel the blood warm in my hand, as I pound my fists to sand" describe the frustration and anger that the singer feels as they lose control. The imagery of "my mouth drips hot with foam" adds a layer of intensity and madness to the sentiment. The singer feels overwhelmed by the way things are going, as all their directions are closing in and everything is falling apart. The repetition of "Keep on talking at my head, f*** with me until I'm mad" throughout the song emphasizes how the singer feels bombarded and antagonized by external forces.
The second verse takes a turn to a more introspective and accepting tone. The phrase "I'm content here with myself, in my own green living shell" conveys a sense of finding refuge in oneself. The line "With a creeping swift ascent from a sea of nothingness" suggests that the singer has found a new way of looking at things and has started to heal from the pain they were experiencing before. The final lines "I don't mind the losing all that I had, 'cause I've found a new thing...and it's not half bad. I'm tired...so tired" end the song on a bittersweet note - the singer has found some comfort in the midst of chaos, but still feels exhausted and defeated.
Overall, "Tired" is a powerful song that conveys raw emotion and a sense of being pushed to the brink. It portrays the struggle of trying to hold on when everything is slipping away, and the glimmer of hope that can be found in accepting one's own limitations and starting anew.
