Carmen Queasy Lyrics

( Maxim Reality of Prodigy feat. skin )

My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind
To picturesque an image to control this time
My intimate discriminating fears you test
My ignorance that truely feels it knows regress
You have the power but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us
The intricate sincerity is choking me
Its crumbling and crawling all around my feet
It wasn't jump from lie to lie to cover me
But could a bullet tell her just evading me
You have the power but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us

So now your telling me its all damn easy
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
But I don't wanna be a marketed baby
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
Carmen Queasy. I don't wanna be

I'm flinging out some rhythms in a cultural stare
Suffocating, still frustrating like we care
Dissecting or analysing empty heart
To spit em out our wet dreams and calling it art
You have the vision but you keep it all to yourself
Your lust is decomposing us

So now your telling me it's all damn easy
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing
But I don't wanna be a marketed baby
Try to see yourself as carmen queasy
'Cos money making is a wonderful thing
Money making is a wonderful thing

Money making, money taking
We don't have a choice
But we still have a voice

Antagonise life is too short
Twisted form and distort
Impregnate brains into my seminar
When I'm making music, making failure
Gotta take back whats mine (gotta take back)
Keep chocking and holding, provoking
My life style you be smoking

But we still have a voice

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

it's kinda like saying there ain't no rest for the wicked, like you do what you gotta do even though your job may make you sick. i think of either a hooker or a hitman.

The song works on many levels. Two of these are either as a critique on music industry (or art industry), sellouts in general, or as an indifference within one person when coming to a realization to have been a "prostitute" of this worlds things, a "hungry ghost" as buddhists say.

To me - not being an artist, or really knowledgeable about the music/art business - the latter speaks more.

Two sides of confronting within a person. ("My vision is distorted by my sleazy mind") Realization meeting fear. ("To picturesque an image to control this time My intimate discriminating fears you test") Indifference between possibilities and potential. ("You have the vision/power, but you keep it all to yourself") Lost in the world of matter. (lust, money, choking....) Do something! ("You do not have a choice, but you have a voice")

On the baseline: the song is about the revolution of the mind :)

i'm not quite sure what the song means exactly, but i know "carmen queasy" is a play on words (calm and queasy)...
