Consolidated – Subtext lyrics
You can say what you think,
turn around and do what you feel
Couldn't feel for many years,
I don't know those tears so i'm listening
If I believe who you are these contradictions are real
I think I might understand,
I don't know her so I defer
Who's this about anyway?
And what's that saying?
Can I stop making this about me,
consumed in a culture industry?
We've all been playing this who's right,
who's wrong so long it's just playing
My man guruseva said let it roll over you like a wave
I don't know what you've been through
I don't know what you've seen
You might have been perped in your own bedroom
when you were thirteen like me
I trigger you some things I'll never understand
I never walked in those shoes
I'm just trying to stay out of my head
We devour ourselves with the latest cybertricks
I'm just your technocratic monkey in the middle
you're the angle I get the riddle
Cut the head from the heart
like meat forget the politics
Standing around the modem platitudes
with your typical cynical bourgeois attitudes
If I had my stuff to own
by now I would have owned it
Hella jokes ain't yours to tella
and your intellacrats yellin
If you had commitment to show
by now you I think you would have shown it
You don't know what I've gone through
you don't know where I've been
I don't feel real safe here
wonder where are my friends?
I get triggered by you never walked in my shoes
Maybe I can learn something from what you said
I still feel this way invisible
When I hear you talk this way I feel so vulnerable
I wonder who's going to be accountable?
Everybody's fighting now
we should be uniting now
I trigger you so why can't I let it go
cause I really need you now
You get to feel how you feel,
I believe you that it's real
I still feel this way
