This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by roses
People cry when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
Turn around hands in my pockets, stay to myself cause I don't wanna talk
I just had a bad run of things going on I don't know if it's over or not
I just know things take a turn so fast, what's the point if I dwell in my thoughts?
I put my life in my hands feel like Oliver cause I keep twisting the plot
Everything feel so sweet until I 'IOD' then I feel like token
Man, I really seen 'em come and go shit hit me for 6 then it made my eyes open
How you gonna threaten to break me? I've a cold heart, yeah I'm already broken
Twenty one years putting everything I love on the line I was filled with emotion
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by roses
People cry when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
Breathing gone I've a bad back cause I'm carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders
Stuck inside a simulation was patterning circles she said this ain't over, and over I told her
I keep doing what you want but still you can't look at me sober
Saw the real you a couple months later I'm lying in the hospital bed
And I don't see a message keep checking to see if it's loading
I don't need you but you showed me
Everybody tapping in and still you act like you don't know me
My expectations low they keep getting lower
Lower and lower (huh)
Lower (huh), lower, lower, lower lower (uh)
I can't sleep through the night got a ton of shit to do cause I owe it to myself
I don't ever need a break I'm just bussin' through the pain
And the only fear I got is ever asking for help
Slowly I'm overthinking then I'm sad cause I'd rather be anywhere else
You don't really know me cause I'm just a product of all of these things that I've felt
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by roses
People cry, when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by roses
People cry when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
People cry when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
Turn around hands in my pockets, stay to myself cause I don't wanna talk
I just had a bad run of things going on I don't know if it's over or not
I just know things take a turn so fast, what's the point if I dwell in my thoughts?
I put my life in my hands feel like Oliver cause I keep twisting the plot
Everything feel so sweet until I 'IOD' then I feel like token
Man, I really seen 'em come and go shit hit me for 6 then it made my eyes open
How you gonna threaten to break me? I've a cold heart, yeah I'm already broken
Twenty one years putting everything I love on the line I was filled with emotion
In my dreams, I'm surrounded by roses
People cry when I'm alive it's like they never show it
They forget that I'm like them, sometimes I get so lonely
Soon one day I know I'll make it out this place I'm chosen
