Tranquilized

Acid Bath's song 'Tranquilized' delves into the themes of emotional numbness and existential detachment. The lyrics paint a picture of a person who feels sedated and lazy, with a sense of coldness and distance from the world around them. The imagery of 'cold skies full of blue' and 'the Sun burns forever' suggests a juxtaposition of beauty and pain, reflecting the internal conflict of the narrator. The mention of someone who reminds them of the Sun indicates a lost connection, possibly a loved one, whose memory still lingers but no longer brings warmth or comfort.

The recurring motif of a 'dead shore' with warm sand symbolizes a place of desolation that still holds remnants of life. The narrator's determination to 'make it through even without you' and the assertion that their 'sky will be blue' despite the loss, highlights a struggle for resilience amidst emotional turmoil. The phrase 'I live tranquilized' encapsulates the state of being numb and detached, a coping mechanism to deal with the pain and chaos around them.

The song also explores the idea of a 'slow motion, liquid universe,' where the narrator feels lost and directionless. The line 'It doesn't matter where we go because I already been there' suggests a sense of futility and repetition in their experiences. The disturbing imagery of 'dying of rabies, eating their babies in a field of dead daisies' further emphasizes the decay and madness in the world they perceive. The repeated declaration of 'I live tranquilized' reinforces the theme of numbness, while the final lines express a profound disconnection and apathy towards their surroundings, encapsulating the essence of existential despair.
