Corpse
The Struggle for Authenticity in a Distrustful World
Corpse's song "LIKE YXU WXULD KNXW (AUTUMN TREES) (feat. Kordhell & Scarlxrd)" delves into the complexities of trust, self-identity, and the emotional toll of living in a world filled with deceit. The recurring line, "Feel like lightman when you lie to me," suggests a sense of betrayal and the difficulty of discerning truth from lies. This theme is further emphasized by the metaphor of falling out like leaves on autumn trees, symbolizing the inevitable decay of relationships and trust over time.
The lyrics also reflect a deep desire for self-actualization and authenticity. Lines like "Wish I could be what I ought to be" and "Wanna be myself" highlight the internal struggle of trying to stay true to oneself while navigating a world that often demands conformity. The artist expresses frustration with societal expectations and the toxic environments that hinder personal growth. This is evident in the lines, "I don't wanna focus on the problems" and "I'ma be the only one to finish what he started," indicating a determination to rise above negativity and achieve one's goals.
Additionally, the song touches on the emotional and mental strain of dealing with these issues. The repeated plea, "God, please save me," underscores the desperation and helplessness felt by the artist. The mention of being "trapped with success" adds another layer, suggesting that even achieving one's dreams can come with its own set of challenges and isolation. The song's raw and honest lyrics resonate with anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or struggled to maintain their integrity in a world that often seems indifferent to their pain.
