Worst Case Scenario
dEUS Lyrics

My dynamo, dynamo
I am feeling energetic and powerful, like a dynamo machine that generates electricity.

It's hard to keep the animal
It is difficult for me to control my primal instincts, desires and emotions.

From driftin' away nowadays
In the current state, my mind tends to wander aimlessly, lacking focus and direction.

The horror, the pain, let's get into details
Let's explore the intense negative emotions, experiences and memories I am dealing with, in great depth.

The bass, the piano, the friction of dynamo
The music I am creating is intense and powerful, with a combination of deep bass and piano, reflecting my inner turmoil.

The first draft of a worst case scenario
My current situation is so bad that it feels like the first version of a worst-case scenario, with no hope of things getting better.

Every thought * that's some way of keeping the flavor
I am trying to hold on to any thought or feeling that can bring some kind of excitement or flavor into my life, no matter how fleeting.

Like their going for the brain to chew on
These thoughts and emotions are so intense and overwhelming that they feel like they are eating away at my brain, leaving me drained.

Compatible lies and as dead as a dice
The lies I tell myself to feel better are becoming more and more unrealistic and unconvincing, leaving me feeling completely drained and lifeless.

It's the thing between nowhere and the opposite side
My current situation feels like being stuck in limbo, somewhere between nowhere and the opposite of where I want to be.

It's the something hidden behind the eloquent/elegant? surface
There is something dark and unpleasant lurking beneath the elegant exterior I present to the world.

Father of fuckups you did it on purpose!
I blame my father for my current state of mind, feeling that he made deliberate choices that contributed to my current problems.

I decline to believe that it's personal
I don't want to take my current situation personally, preferring to think of it as something that just happened, rather than a reflection of my worth or character.

Hey, i know that you do and i'll hold it against you
I know deep down that my situation is partly my own fault, and I will hold myself accountable for it.

It's the bald man's dream to grow hair, baby
People always want things they can't have, like a bald man dreaming of having hair again.

But a lame don't need legs, he needs a wheelchair
Sometimes someone who is struggling doesn't need a solution that just covers up their problems, but something that can truly take them out of their pain, like a wheelchair does for someone who can't walk.

So if you're to busy in having too much to offer
If you're too wrapped up in your own success and have too much to give, it can lead to feeling overwhelmed and lost.

And you can not decide where to go
Feeling lost in life can make it difficult to make decisions or determine which way to go to get out of it.

Do the low yo yo, take a swing at the dynamo
Try to slow down, take a break, and focus on something that can bring you energy and joy to recharge your batteries.

On a day like this it's hard to keep the animal from drifting away
When I'm feeling this low and disconnected, it's hard to keep my emotions and desires in check and not let them control me.

One-liner: the greeks had it carved in
This is a quote the singer is referencing, which says that Greeks used epigrams on tombstones to pay their last respects to the dead.

'epigram' they said 'last
The Greeks viewed epigrams as the final words given to someone who had passed away.

Tribute to the dead' well the horror, the pain
Even in death, the pain and suffering someone experienced in life still remains and is remembered.

And the alphabet, from a to migraine, from
The suffering experienced in life can range from minor inconveniences (like the letter A) to intense, debilitating pain (like migraines).

Nausea to z.
The spectrum of suffering includes everything from feeling nauseous to the end of the alphabet.

Are you listenin' you fool?
The singer is challenging the listener to really hear and understand what they are saying.

You magnificent liar!
The listener is being accused of lying or not being honest with themselves or others.

Feel free but don't feel too comfortable
While the listener is encouraged to be themselves and do what they want, they are also warned not to get too complacent or too comfortable.

It's already quarter to three
Time is passing quickly, and the singer is becoming aware of how late it is getting.

Oh they say that time presses
People often claim that there is never enough time to get things done and that time is always running out.

But time doesn't press
Time cannot physically apply pressure or force on someone; it is merely a measurement of passing moments.

It's just a figure for motion and emotional unrest
Time is simply a way of measuring change and the ebb and flow of emotions, which can be an internal struggle for many people.

It's a matter of seeing and of being seen
One's perception of time can vary depending on how they view the world and how others view them.

As far as i'm concerned time is the state of my jeans
To the singer, time is a symbolic measure of how worn out and tattered his jeans are.

So if you wanna come down for some hangin' around
If someone wants to spend some time hanging out and unwinding, the offer is open.

It's the first draft of a worst case scenario (x12)
The singer repeats this line, emphasizing that his current situation feels like the beginning of a very bad story with no clear way out yet.
