Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
I have diseases
And it pleases
The parasites
I am the flower
Of the hour
I gotta fight
I am the demon
Swim like semen
The other way
So all my lovers
Run for cover
You must obey
(Parasite)
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin';
I have a feeling
You are stealing
My sanity
So now I'm kneeling
And I'm peeling
Humanity
(Parasite)
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin'
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin'
I have diseases
And it pleases
The parasites
I am the flower
Of the hour
I gotta fight
Ready, run away
Get outta my way
Gonna fuck up my day
When all the kids say I'm crazy, crazy
Ready, run away
Get outta my way
Gonna fuck up my day
When all the kids say I'm crazy, crazy crazy
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin';, fakin';
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin;, fakin';
We see that you're fakin, you're fakin';
Wew see that you're fakin', fakin'; (fakin')
And it pleases
The parasites
I am the flower
Of the hour
I gotta fight
I am the demon
Swim like semen
The other way
So all my lovers
Run for cover
You must obey
(Parasite)
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin';
I have a feeling
You are stealing
My sanity
So now I'm kneeling
And I'm peeling
Humanity
(Parasite)
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin'
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin', fakin'
I have diseases
And it pleases
The parasites
I am the flower
Of the hour
I gotta fight
Ready, run away
Get outta my way
Gonna fuck up my day
When all the kids say I'm crazy, crazy
Ready, run away
Get outta my way
Gonna fuck up my day
When all the kids say I'm crazy, crazy crazy
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin';, fakin';
When you try so hard to be like me
Act like us still we see that you're fakin;, fakin';
We see that you're fakin, you're fakin';
Wew see that you're fakin', fakin'; (fakin')
