Lyrical Analysis of...
Bad Design
- if you could see, inside my mind,
- you'd see a plan, for my decline,
- like a bad design, that elapsed over time,
- that i fight against, to become sublime.
- i think im a failure, i cant do shit,
- even if i somehow, push through this,
- i lack confidence, theres no audience
- for someone like me, to ever make a hit
- but deep down, i try anyway,
- cos you never know whats coming
- or what'll fade,
- so i just paint and spray,
- then either make the grade
- or i'll grab a spade, just to dig my grave,
- then its here that i guess i'll decide
- to either lie back and die, or realise
- that this is a place to heal and grow
- for tomorrow is built from the seeds you sow,
- but everything you know, makes the process slow,
- its in the way, and it's gotta go
- you gotta grow, you gotta grow
- if you could see inside my mind,
- you'd see a plan for my decline,
- like a bad design that elapsed over time
- that i fight againstto become sublime.
- you see the prize is the flower
- that blooms from a cower,
- your eyes fill with power,
- from every pain fuelled hour
- the taste in your mouth
- will eventually come sweet
- as you find your heartbeat
- and become less sour
- you turn up the heat
- and arise from defeat
- watered head to toe
- from your face to your feet
- its all you know
- planted firmly for growth
- but you cant speak, you freeze
- from the cold shower
- ive had enough of the mind games with everything ive felt
- so ill grind and grind this weak hand im dealt
- ill be black and blue like the colour of my belt
- eventually knocked out its not good for my health
- from the first round right up to the twelth
- each blow depletes my vanishing stealth
- till i lay there bare like i need some help
- from a crowd that consists of someone other than myself
- i just need a shout to reach my ears
- so all my doubt and internal fears
- can be lifted like my body from the canvas
- by a wizard's whirlwind and a girl from kansas
- that takes me to a road thats plated with gold
- winding round with every choke hold
- and as the end's in sight i take my last breath
- im in too deep im swallowed whole
- if you could see inside my mind,
- you'd see a plan for my decline,
- like a bad design that elapsed over time
- that i fight against to become sublime.
- if you understand the steps then it'll flow more easy
- this whirlwind'll blow ya it'll be more breezy
- carpe diem, the day will seize me
- before i grab its neck as i feel more queazy
- im sick of it all tho, you just cant please me
- its like im hypnotised to daytime tv
- pupils dilated with a stare thats beady
- im wrapped tight here by a boa being squeezy
- no foreplay at all it didnt even tease me
- this is all beneath me, its just fucking sleazy
- my palms all sweaty, my hair's proper greasy
- this hermit is hiding, hoping nobody sees me
- if you could see, inside my mind
- you'd see a plan, for my decline
- like a bad design, that elapsed over time
- that i fight against, to become sublime
