Lemonade
Yungblud Lyrics

They just squeeze my brain, gettin' off on pain
The pain these individuals inflict on me excites them

Drippin' down your face like I'm lemonade
Their enjoyment comes from seeing my pain and suffering

Hypnotizin' for days, gettin' off on pain
Their sadism is constantly in action, because it keeps them stimulated and satisfied

They say, "Go be an adult"
Society tells us to grow up and be responsible, regardless of how difficult it may be

Where guns and knives are an antidote
Violence is seen as a solution to problems, rather than trying to find a peaceful resolution

To retain some kind of self-control
People try to control their own lives in whatever ways they can, even if it means resorting to violence

Sip amphetamines through a telescope
Drugs are used to escape reality and gain a distorted sense of perception

You erase all the calls from your telephone
You cut off all communication with others, perhaps because you want to be alone or because you don't want to be held responsible for your actions

No sense of smile, maybe tell a joke
The grim reality of the situation is not something to be happy about, but we try to find humor in any way we can

Holdin' back your tears, singin' cynical
We try to hide our emotions and pretend we're happy or unaffected, even if it's not true

Syllables, yeah
Our words and actions can be deceptive, or maybe just meaningless noise in the grand scheme of things

Let's take a hit on a pipe dream
We seek an escape from our current reality through fantasies, whether it's drugs or wishful thinking

Was that fate or mistake? 'Cause that timing up
We question whether what's happening to us is due to destiny or our own bad decisions

Yeah, that parts of my mind don't get much blood
Some aspects of our personality or thought processes may be neglected or underdeveloped

Yeah, you want someone dead? Mummy, call me up
Violence and revenge are seen as viable options, even if these actions are harmful and destructive

You look like a twisted Robin Hood
You may try to justify your actions as helping others, but in reality they're just selfish and hurtful

Do you take from the rich and the poor and us?
Your actions harm everyone regardless of socioeconomic status

Wearin' diamond shoes when you walk your pubs
You may try to show off your wealth and success, but it doesn't bring happiness or satisfaction

In a time you curate where there ain't no love
The world we live in can be harsh and uncaring, and it's difficult to find love and compassion

Where do I go when I'm alone, not on the phone?
When we're truly alone and disconnected from the world, we're forced to confront our thoughts and emotions

When I am on my own (gotta tell me that)
We may need reassurance or comfort from someone else, even if we're trying to be independent

Stopped takin' acid but still got a reflux
We try to change our behaviors or habits to improve ourselves, but sometimes the consequences are still present

Eyes rip out from the socket to a teacup
Stress and anxiety can feel overwhelming and lead to physical symptoms or effects

Drink up, inside, look when they peep us
We hide our true feelings and emotions from others, pretending everything is okay when it's not

Jesus in the belly of the bees, but
Religion and faith can bring comfort or confusion, depending on how we interpret them

Outside, there's a war goin' on
The world is chaotic and filled with conflict, even if it's not as visible in our own lives

On your front lawn, Black Hawks see the red dawn, horizon
The violence and conflict is close to home and may even affect us personally

Blind yet I'm wise and abidin' by laws of attraction
Despite our lack of clear sight or understanding, we try to find meaning and guidance in uncertain times

My thoughts still risin'
Our mind can continue to work and process information even in times of chaos or stress

Thinkin', what type of knowledge don't sink in?
We question why some information or wisdom is not accepted or understood by others

Life gives you lemons and my only thought is drinkin'
We try to find solace or comfort in distractions or vices, rather than facing our problems head-on

Percy, will I be alive or dead before thirty?
We may have fears or doubts about our own mortality or future

That's all that concerns me, early
Our own survival and well-being may be our top priority, even if it means neglecting other important things

Lemonade quenchin' my inner rage
Drinking helps us forget or numb our emotions, even if they're negative or harmful

When it takes to the stage way before they floorin' on my grave
Our vices or habits may lead to an early or premature death, but we continue to indulge in them anyway

Minute maid, let us set my soul ablaze
Drinking gives us a sense of excitement or energy, even if it's temporary

Onto each and every wave, put me in the water for the safe
Drinking is a way for us to cope with or escape from reality, and it feels like our only option for survival
