n the damp cramp horrors of my wretched brain there lurk these little creature sleeches drive me insane My brain My pain Why is it your need? Why is it your feed? why don't you let it be My Brain I can feel them ripping, tearing, shredding in my head I'm going to rip my eyeballs out and I'll probably end up dead my brain my brain(chorus) I'm not responsible for half the things I do Like killing my whole family and my neighbors dog, too my brain my brain




Overall Meaning

The opening line of Tree's song Brain immediately sets the tone for what follows. The lyrics describe the horrors of the artist's brain, which is full of little creatures that drive him insane. The imagery is intense and disturbing, creating a sense of claustrophobia and desperation. The repetition of "my brain" emphasizes the centrality of this organ to the artist's experience, while also conveying a sense of detachment or dissociation from it.


The chorus is even more unsettling, with Tree describing the ways in which he feels completely out of control. He says he's not responsible for half the things he does, including killing his family and a neighbor's dog. This is an extreme example, but it speaks to the sense of powerlessness and irrationality that can come with mental illness. The lyrics are raw and unfiltered, giving voice to the artist's most painful and troubling thoughts.


Line by Line Meaning

In the damp cramp horrors of my wretched brain there lurk these little creature sleeches drive me insane
Within the dark and unsettling corners of my troubled mind, there exist these small parasitic creatures that drive me to the brink of madness.


My brain, my pain, why is it your need? Why is it your feed? Why don't you let it be?
My mind, which fills me with such agony, why do these creatures within feel the need to survive off of it? Why can't they leave me in peace?


I can feel them ripping, tearing, shredding in my head. I'm going to rip my eyeballs out and I'll probably end up dead. My brain, my brain (chorus)
The sensation of these creatures relentlessly tearing and destroying my mind is unbearable. I am driven to a point where I feel like taking my own life to escape the torment.


I'm not responsible for half the things I do, like killing my whole family and my neighbor's dog, too. My brain, my brain
These creatures within my mind have such a strong hold over me that I cannot control my actions. I am made to do terrible things, such as committing murder, and I am powerless to stop it.

Do you know the flash song concept ? It's a very short improvised song (like few seconds), with one or too catchy sentences around a funny theme or subject along with a very short but satisfying chords progression. It's like an advertising song and it's a very cool exercice !
