Neutrality

BrandonPlaysStuff's song "Neutrality" delves into the internal conflict of an individual caught between opposing forces, both external and internal. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a character who feels trapped in a world of chaos and violence, symbolized by the rising winter and the eclipse of light. This imagery sets the stage for a narrative of survival and moral ambiguity, where the protagonist grapples with their own nature and the expectations placed upon them by society.

The recurring theme of being an outcast and not treated with equality highlights the protagonist's sense of alienation. They walk a path of agony, torn between their inherent empathy and the blasphemous acts they are compelled to commit. This duality is further emphasized by the lines about crossing paths and the natural choices others make, contrasting with the protagonist's forced neutrality. The song suggests that while others engage in their wars, the protagonist is embroiled in a personal battle, one that is neither black nor white but a murky gray of neutrality.

The chorus, with its haunting repetition of "kill, kill, kill," underscores the internal struggle and the instinctual drive towards violence. This is juxtaposed with the protagonist's awareness of their own actions and the consequences. The mention of a virus and breaking down adds a layer of existential dread, questioning the purpose and morality of their existence. The song concludes with a poignant reflection on the protagonist's unique position, caught between darkness and silence, and the realization that their neutrality is both a curse and a survival mechanism.
