Trephination Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Kingofstilport 

Cover art for Trephination lyrics by Machine Head

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.
