Lyrical Analysis of...
Basket Case
- I think back on all my past mistakes
- Trying to figure out why I’m such a basket case
- But I’m absent minded with half the facts erased
- I need a detective to come and crack the case
- I have to face /the fact that I may be crazy
- Don’t bother calling the doctor /no way to save me
- I don’t blame you for always trying to evade me
- I blame God /because this is the way he made me...
- I got out of the car /before me stood the hospital
- A nurse coldly told me /treatment would be optional
- That seems logical /nothing strange /then I notice
- My shown diagnosis was full blown psychosis
- Mixed with a just a little bit of anxious neurosis
- It’s atrocious /my sole known focus had grown so hopeless
- I’m freezing /I’m sneezing /alone on the border
- Of panic or going manic from bipolar disorder
- Older supporters were applying some kid gloves
- Some were lying /trying to get rid of the lion amid doves
- Not sighing and loveless /or crying from numbness
- I trusted that toughness would supply me with justice
- My try must have just missed /now the power of the fears rise
- I cower at the sheer size /shower in my peers' lies
- Clear skies /will no longer exist in my life
- My days and nights will now be consisting of strife
- I say this is hell /they keep insisting it’s life
- How can I believe deceivers so persistent with lies?
- I consistently try /to resist my insanity
- I only manage to ramble random candid profanity
- My life is a calamity /and this is only day one
- An old man clamors, “It'll be a lonely stay son”
- I remained stunned /for most of the afternoon
- But apparently there are things that I have to do
- Like share my feelings with people I'd never met before
- No chance /what did they even get me for
- I took a seat in the corner /and sat silently
- Try in vain to maintain the remains of my privacy
- I was bored and ignored the other's who took a turn
- I abhorred the thought of just trying to look concerned
- My problems are mine /and theirs are theirs
- People should find their way out of other’s affairs
- The insane shit in my brain sits as only my business
- So can I go now? /Are we done? /Is this finished?
