Description

This track opens with a peaceful flute tone that is then covered by Matt Van's vocals. Drums begin shortly after, and Van then brings us all into the drop, where his vocals are layered heavily with effects. The drums, synths, and bass sounds in the drop create a feeling of conflict or chaos, this chaotic feeling only being compounded when Van's vocals are chopped into pieces by Galdo during the second part of this section.

The bridge serves a stark contrast to this, having very little going on apart from the flute and a few percussive hits. The track begins to feel like an argument Van is having with himself, with calm interludes where he defends himself, and chaotic instrumental breakdowns where he screams about his unhappiness.

The second drop begins with a pitched down version of the lead, and then continues alternating between high and low pitches. This song is a wonderful expression of internal conflict, brought to life by Van's beautiful performance and Galdo's expert production.

Lyrics

Mind's eye's bleeding again, you're in my head

Hindsight screaming again, you're in my head

But you failed to notice

I'm not, not in a place you call a pessimist paradise

I'm already broken, broken down

I'm paralyzed, paralyzed, paralyzed

Oh

I'm not satisfied, I'm not satisfied

I'm not satisfied, I'm not satisfied

 

And my blind side, reads between the lines

Every sacrifice yields expectations for the next time, and I don't mind

But i'm not satisfied, and I'm not satisfied

Oh

I'm not satisfied

I'm not satisfied

I'm not satisfied, I'm not satisfied

I'm not satisfied

 

Satisfied

Satisfied
