Phucked Up Phreak
Velvet Acid Christ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From all those days that you try to hide
You lift out the anger and cut it dry
You soak your tears away, now you can fry
Your mind melts away, you go with the flow
You hold it down, but you can't let go
You try to speak, but you hear no sound
Where you will never be
'Cause we're all dead, 'cause you're all dead...
We walk into the night
We cut off the right
We won't feel a thing
We're so insane
Disturbed thoughts distort your mind
You're penetrated, obliterated
We all face it, We all try to hide
The unrelying, The lie
The feelings, the how, the when, the why
We always lie, we always lie
We always cry, we always die - you
Push away the feelings left, so far away
We walked into the sun
And we left our hopes astray
We hope to live another day
But when you break it all down
There's really nothing left to say...
So babble away...
The song "Phucked Up Phreak" by Velvet Acid Christ talks about the pain and struggles of a person who is trying to hide their emotions. The lyrics suggest that the person killed their feelings and buried them deep inside, but the emotions still exist as anger that they have cut dry. They try to suppress their feelings but are unable to let go completely and when they try to express themselves, they find they're unable to. They feel like they're lying to themselves and when pushed to their limit, they experience thoughts that distort their mind and leave them feeling shattered, lost and alone.
Line by Line Meaning
Murder the feelings all left aside
Suppressing emotions and memories from the past
From all those days that you try to hide
Escaping from the painful past experiences
You lift out the anger and cut it dry
Trying to overcome anger by suppressing it
You soak your tears away, now you can fry
Resorting to drugs to overcome emotional pain
Your mind melts away, you go with the flow
Losing the ability to think clearly
You hold it down, but you can't let go
Trying to suppress emotions but failing
You try to speak, but you hear no sound
Struggling to express oneself
Lying on the ground, expressed into sanity
Feeling helpless and hopeless
Where you will never be
Reaching a point of no return
'Cause we're all dead, 'cause you're all dead...
Feeling emotionally numb
We walk into the night
Leaving everything behind
We cut off the right
Making wrong choices
We won't feel a thing
Being emotionally dead
We're so insane
Going crazy due to emotional trauma
Disturbed thoughts distort your mind
Experiencing mental turmoil
You're penetrated, obliterated
Being consumed by negative feelings
We all face it, We all try to hide
Everyone experiences emotional pain but tries to mask it
The unrelying, The lie
Hoping to escape from reality
The feelings, the how, the when, the why
Trying to rationalize negative feelings
We always lie, we always lie
Pretending everything is okay when it's not
We always cry, we always die - you
Feeling overwhelmed and helpless
Push away the feelings left, so far away
Trying to ignore painful emotions
We walked into the sun
Trying to escape from the darkness of the past
And we left our hopes astray
Feeling hopeless
We hope to live another day
Wishing for a better life
But when you break it all down
When everything is analyzed
There's really nothing left to say...
Nothing can change the painful past
So babble away...
Keep talking to escape from reality

on Pain
This is a song about coping with failed relationships and a broken home. The lyricist has been triggered by a life event- most likely a breakup. The event is particularly tragic because it brings back haunting memories of fear and abandonment experienced in childhood.
