Trigger Inside Lyrics

Here comes a girl with perfect teeth
I bet she won't be smiling at me
I know how Jeffry Dahmer feels
Lonely, lonely

I was awkward as a child
Blueprint for my wretched life
Confidence I've been denied
Lonely, lonely

Something in my head it won't switch off when I'm alone

I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I got a trigger inside
I get the feeling I've been cheated

My hands are shaking, my head's a mess
Trying to wring some words from my breath
I die before you, you're not impressed
Lonely, lonely

I look uglier when I cry
Want to punch that look from your life
One in the eye for the beautiful people
Lonely, lonely

Something in my head it won't switch off when I'm alone

Cheated, cheated, cheated, Huh!

Here comes a girl with perfect teeth 
I bet she won't be smiling at me 
I know how Jeffry Dahmer feels 
Lonely, lonely

I was awkward as a child 
Blueprint for my wretched life 
Confidence I've been denied 
Lonely, lonely

Something in my head it won't switch off when I'm alone

I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I get the feeling I've been cheated 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I get the feeling I've been cheated

My hands are shaking, my head's a mess 
Trying to wring some words from my breath 
I die before you, you're not impressed 
Lonely, lonely

I look uglier when I cry 
Want to punch that look from your life 
One in the eye for the beautiful people 
Lonely, lonely

Something in my head it won't switch off when I'm alone

I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I get the feeling I've been cheated 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I got a trigger inside 
I get the feeling I've been cheated

Cheated, cheated, cheated, Huh!

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.

I just love "Troublegum", it's terryfing and beautilul mix of desperation, frustration and a little faith in a better tomorrow. Every f**g track on this album is a goddamn masterpiece. I love "Knives", "Turn", "Screamager", and other songs from this LP (expect 2 last ones). I take this album now exactly like in the 90' (maybe i'm immature - i don't give a flying f.). "Trigger Inside" is about many things, Enyone who had ever felt totally alone, rejected, who had his/her mind f*****p entirely and who had problems with agression will fully understand the meaning of this song. There's polish band, Coma, which singer - Piotr Rogucki sometimes is trying to put a shoes of "everyman". Their lyrics are cut in the way that everyone should feel that every song is about themselves. Coma entered the fight, but they lost. The real winner is Therapy? (and maybe some other bands).

This song is fruckin brilliant, needs way more comments. I guess it's about therapy bullshit and the fact that no matter now much you do there'll still be something that sets you off because you're permanently fucked.
