Fishtalk - Golden Mean

Copied!

On the edge of the bed
On the verge of a breakdown
My eyes rummage in the void
Just find some placid ghosts

They say
Sometimes she's a queen
Ideal shape perfect features
Sometimes heaven's miserly
And she looks like a dead foetus

The sun beats down
Inside, an icy nothing
I see nothing
I let down my guard and it comes back in flashes
I resist
But it persists

Slowly, slowly
Recеde slowly
Slowly, slowly
Recedе slowly

I'd better better hide
I've lost the golden mean
A leopard and a lamb
Living under the same skin
I'd better better hide
Until my shame mummifies
Captive and haunted
I've lost the golden mean

The sun beats down
Inside, an icy nothing
I see nothing
I let down my guard and it comes back in flashes
I resist
But it persists

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Fishtalk - Golden Mean" is a haunting and introspective song that delves into feelings of insecurity and self-doubt. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person on the edge of a breakdown, struggling to find peace and acceptance within themselves. The contrast between being perceived as a queen with perfect features and feeling like a dead foetus highlights the internal turmoil and self-criticism that the protagonist is grappling with. The repetition of "slowly, slowly, recede slowly" mirrors the slow and painful process of healing and moving past inner demons. The mention of losing the golden mean, a balance between extremes, further emphasizes the themes of inner conflict and self-acceptance. Overall, "Fishtalk - Golden Mean" is a poignant and emotional exploration of the complexities of human emotions and the journey towards self-love and acceptance.
