Copper
cut.rate.box Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Forces in motion
I drag myself to shadow
I reach to my hand to sky
These words I tell myself
What I become today
Turn mind inside out
Fight the feeling precious time
Becoming anxious sweat and fumes collide
Like diesel picnic
Motor stop heart pump
These words I tell myself
What I become today
Turn mind inside out
From copper to disdain

Line by Line Meaning
Forces around
There are external forces that surround me
Forces in motion
These forces are in motion and constantly affecting me
I drag myself to shadow
I try to hide from these forces by staying in the shadows
I reach to my hand to sky
But I also try to reach for something greater than myself
These words I tell myself
I have a constant inner dialogue with myself
What I become today
This affects who I am as a person today
Turn mind inside out
Sometimes I need to completely reevaluate my mindset
From copper to disdain
And change my perspective from being hopeful and optimistic to negative and cynical
Fight the feeling precious time
I try to resist these negative feelings because time is valuable
Becoming anxious sweat and fumes collide
But sometimes the stress and pressure become too much and overwhelm me
Like diesel picnic
It's like a strange and unpleasant experience
Motor stop heart pump
It can even feel like my heart is stopping
