Crushed
Velvet Acid Christ Lyrics

The thing inside you on your blackest day,
Referring to the inner demons and negative thoughts that plague us during our darkest moments.

That voice inside you that never goes away.
The persistent negative voice inside our minds that seems impossible to silence.

The haunting feeling that I have to play,
The overwhelming feeling of obligation to participate in a game of fear and pain.

A game of fear soiled in this pain.
The game being played is one that is fueled by fear and only leads to further emotional distress.

These words in my mouth, this blood on my tongue
The painful emotions that are so intense they feel like physical sensations inside the body.

This is what its like, to come undone.
The experience of feeling like everything is falling apart and there is no way to stop it.

We are nothing, we are nothing.
The realization that in the grand scheme of things, we are insignificant and powerless.

Crushed by the curse, bleeding in rain.
Feeling overwhelmed and defeated by the negative circumstances in life, as if being crushed under a heavy curse and feeling the pain of it like the sting of rain.

Destroyed by a look, torn by the pain
The feeling of being judged, rejected, or hurt by someone's gaze, resulting in intense emotional anguish.

The illusion of love, crying again.
The disappointment and heartbreak that comes from realizing that what was believed to be love was actually an illusion.

But that's how it hurts when it's in your veins.
The intense pain of emotional turmoil can feel like it has penetrated deep into one's very being, like poison in the veins.

That voice inside you that makes you say
Referring again to the negative inner critic that causes self-doubt and despair.

I've given up hope and I'm lost again
The feeling of complete hopelessness and despair, as if all is lost with no way to find a way out.

It eats at my heart to the bitter bitter end
The feeling that this emotional pain will never go away and will continue to haunt and hurt until the very end.

Oh no, we are nothing, we are nothing.
Reiterating the earlier realization that in the grand scheme of things, we are insignificant and powerless.

But that's how it hurts, when you go insane.
The feeling of losing one's grip on reality and succumbing to the overwhelming chaos and pain of life.

Crushed by the curse, torn by the pain.
An echo of the earlier lines emphasizing the intensity of emotional pain.

Destroyed by a look, crying again.
Another repetition of the earlier lines exploring the idea of being deeply hurt by someone else's judgment or rejection.
