Another set of words/music about the tension between diagnoses, non-diagnosis and what it takes to get recognised as a human & have needs met, whilst also feeling like too much, anxious, and wanting to avoid everyone - partly through recognising your own behaviours & dismissals of kindness. The ruminatory cycling thoughts, around & around. Also a lifetime of case conferences, professional focus & clinical appointments. My frustrations as a parent too.
Verse:
Don't let my arrogance lead me astray, the burning demons in my brain! Please let me know if I displease, victim or oppressor with this shared disease.
Chorus: Distress: a position-mortician, analysing myself - human and alone.
Verse: Just invent a reason, burying me. Pathologizing the Showtime! Broach no approach without a white coat. Inner doubting on the death coach!
Chorus: Distress: a position-mortician, analysing myself - human and alone
Bridge: deserving poor; what must I be rich at? Breaking down, to be criminally preached at! Human beings ill at ease, reach out!
Chorus: Distress: a position-mortician, analysing myself - human and alone

good to catch the demo of this one. the rhythm and repetition melody wise gets not only the angst of the lyrics but the relentlessness of it.

Some of the words came from LyriCloud in the muse - I don't think I would have braved some of the words like demons if it my mind hadn't started to put it together with burning, another word on the LyriCloud and stuff that was on my mind, trying to roll with it: they were the strongest words with any kind of beginning there. It felt like a word game with a very metal result: that's one of the nice things about wordsmithing! That combination of the mental challenge that's also playful and distanced from the emotions this gives shape to and expresses with cool or surprising effects!
Anyway, thankyou so much @wobbiewobbit ! And @berni1954 !

these lyrics have such a unique feel. i like the wordplay and you have such a lovely style, i love the balance of concrete and abstract. some lovely word pairings and turns of phrase in this. nice one.

The anger behind this is palpable! Get it off your chest comrade!
