Utopia
cranky (Rave-SLave) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's how I know
That I'm alive
While this ship keeps sinking deeper and deeper
Where's my sanity
It lies beneath this mundane world
I can't feel whole anymore
And to this I ask, what's the point
As the gates open slowly
My fear drifts away
Does it really feel better
When I'm trapped inside my head
If it masks the pain, could I learn this time
To trust in your strength and live another day
This mess I've made
Is it too late
Can there be another way
Am I afraid
Afraid
Trapped in this world, still prey to the vultures
I'll tame the hurt
And let it dissipate
Broken
Down on my knees
I'm Numb
And Cant feel a thing
Lost in Utopia
Delusional paradise
Make it stop
Does it really feel better
When I'm trapped inside my head
If it masks the pain, could I learn this time
To trust in your strength and live another day
This mess I've made
Is it too late
Can there be another way
Am I afraid
Alone in my scorn
Can I fight what I know
Caught in this madness
I still hear you call
And now I see
That My Utopia
Was masking my phobia
No
Give me strength to fight this
My true Utopia
The one who's held me up
You've been there all along
On my own no more
I know where I belong
Does it really feel better
When I'm trapped inside my head
If it masks the pain, could I learn this time
To trust in your strength and live another day
This mess I've made
Is it too late
Can there be another way
Am I afraid
Untied from this world
Preying on vultures
My true utopia
help me through
The lyrics of "UTOPIA" by cranky (Rave-SLave) depict a struggle with internal battles, pain, and the pursuit of a utopian state of mind. The opening lines, "Thrown in the pit, fed to the sharks, it's how I know that I'm alive," express a feeling of being constantly in distress or crisis, but also finding a sense of validation in the midst of chaos.
The singer feels like their sanity is slipping away as they sink deeper into a mundane world. They long for a sense of wholeness and question the purpose of their existence, asking "what's the point?" It is in this state of desperation that they envision their own utopia, a safe place where they can escape from their troubles. As the gates of this utopia open slowly, they feel their fear drifting away.
However, the lyrics also question the effectiveness of this escape. They wonder if being trapped inside their own head, even if it masks the pain, truly brings a sense of improvement. They express a desire to learn to trust in external strength and live each day, rather than retreating into their own mind.
Throughout the song, the singer goes through a journey of self-realization. They realize that their self-created utopia was only masking their fears and phobias. They seek strength and support from an external source, possibly a person or higher power, acknowledging that they are not alone in their struggles. This newfound understanding allows them to break free from their own internal prison and find where they truly belong.
Overall, "UTOPIA" explores themes of pain, escapism, self-discovery, and the importance of relying on external support to overcome inner battles.

Thrown in the pit, fed to the sharks
Facing extreme hardship and danger
It's how I know
That I'm alive
Finding a sense of vitality and awareness in difficult situations
While this ship keeps sinking deeper and deeper
Continuously experiencing a downward spiral
Where's my sanity
It lies beneath this mundane world
Searching for mental stability amidst the monotony of life
I can't feel whole anymore
Feeling incomplete and disconnected
And to this I ask, what's the point
Questioning the purpose and meaning of it all
I could hide in My Utopia
As the gates open slowly
My fear drifts away
Seeking refuge in one's own idealized world where fear diminishes
Does it really feel better
When I'm trapped inside my head
Questioning whether the escape within one's thoughts truly brings relief
If it masks the pain, could I learn this time
To trust in your strength and live another day
Considering the possibility of relying on someone else's support to overcome pain and continue living
This mess I've made
Is it too late
Can there be another way
Reflecting on past actions and wondering if redemption or an alternative path is still possible
Am I afraid
Questioning personal fears
Trapped in this world, still prey to the vultures
Feeling trapped and vulnerable to those who take advantage
I'll tame the hurt
And let it dissipate
Resolving to control and release the pain
Broken
Down on my knees
I'm Numb
And Cant feel a thing
Feeling shattered, emotionally drained, and desensitized
Lost in Utopia
Delusional paradise
Being confused and misled in an illusory state of happiness
Make it stop
Desiring an end to the suffering
Alone in my scorn
Can I fight what I know
Feeling isolated in one's bitterness and questioning the ability to overcome it
Caught in this madness
I still hear you call
Remaining entangled in chaos while hearing a voice of support
And now I see
That My Utopia
Was masking my phobia
Realizing that the imagined perfect world was concealing personal fears
No
Give me strength to fight this
Requesting inner strength to confront and overcome the struggles
My true Utopia
The one who's held me up
You've been there all along
Recognizing that the true source of support and refuge has been present from the beginning
On my own no more
I know where I belong
No longer feeling alone and discovering a sense of belonging
Untied from this world
Preying on vultures
My true utopia
help me through
Breaking free from the negative influences and finding solace in the authentic ideal world with the help of someone
