Trephination Lyrics
I used to want to take a drill to my head
Let the pain out of the hole
I used to want to cut the
veins in my neck
Cool the blood boiling my soul
When I wondered, why my
daily headaches thundered
Tried to buffer, pushing
down the pain I suffered
Mutilated, feeling so humiliated
Cannot wash the dirt off
underneath my skin
There was a part of me left far behind
When at the age of five years old
I had my innocence taken from me
Emptiness would fill the hole
Now a second grader,
thinking why I don't feel better
Why I'm filthy, why the hell
I feel so guilty
When drawing stick men
of pornographic men and women
Thinking all the time
there's something wrong with me
Everyday for three years
from dawn 'til dusk a migraine
would take me and break me
And it'd cripple me so
much that
In dreams, it'd seem, with
a hole in my temple
that I could probably make
my headaches finally go away
Trephination
trephination
The enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed
And after three years now
my headaches wear off
For reasons not quite to me known
The acupuncture needles
sticking my skin
Pushed them down as far
as they'd go
But now I'm older and now
inside my anger smolders
from depression, to fighting
Taking out my vengeance
Consequences, now I'd
question during sex if ...
Is this how it fucking feels
or am I faking it ?
No longer the child that
you left there at the bart tracks
I'm now at 17, left in an
empty blackness
On drugs, with thugs, and thinking "Goddamn ?"
I'm ending up in a failure,
in the gutter passed out
Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
won't let me free
wants me to bleed
Now I'm older and in this
man an anger smolders
Now I'm thinking a hole in
you is what I'm seeing
Your depression, is the
dent I kick in you in vengeance
Consequences are the pain
I'd give to you
I know that I'm dreaming,
but in this dream I go in
go through it, and end it
And though I'd never do it
I'm killing you, hand on
the trigger - pull it
Your final thought'll be a
bullet in your fuckin' head
Trephination
trephination
This enemy inside of me
I'm now killing
to make me free.
Let the pain out of the hole

This song explores the scars left by childhood trauma and the complex, often violent thoughts stemming from mental health struggles, speaking of the desire for a release from the pain, while living on a tenuous balance between vulnerability and anger. Part of the song's influence is from Robb Flynn's childhood, as spoken about in the song "Five" from The Burning Red. It offers a glimpse into the chaotic landscape of the mind seeking healing amid heartfelt suffering.
The song should resonate well with anyone who's wrestled with their inner demons and is seeking healing.
I hope the bullet ends up in dudes head
Lol.. I saw something on TV (I think the discovery channel) the other day that was all about trephination (drilling holes into people's heads)
I think Robb Flynn is talking about trephination in terms of wanting to let out his rage inside him, from being abandoned at birth and getting into all kinds of bad shit growing up, and if literally drilling into his own head to do it is the only way to get rid of the bad part of him then so be it...
Song's about how he was molested as a child, and how he's been trying to figure out what's wrong with him. He realizes though that nothing's wrong with him, and that the man that molested him was wrong.
a trephine is a sergical drill used to drill through the skull n flyn is wanting to drill into head to get rid of at the fuked up shit in his head... like guiffporn sed.
song is about the consequences after he was abused as a child,and the pain he grew up with, that's turning into pure rage and will of revenge. The following song-Deafening silence,is kind of a continuation of trephanation,and it's again about the pain.
This song is laced with rage, he does want to and IS letting the rage out. It is one of the most honest forms of expression and writing I have read. Brutally fukkin honest. I have lived a similar life.
