Pit Of Consciousness

Jinjer's song "Pit Of Consciousness" delves into the tumultuous experience of losing one's grip on reality and descending into madness. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who feels disconnected from their own mind, as if they are losing the keys to their own reality. This sense of disorientation is further emphasized by the imagery of passing the wheel to insanity, suggesting a loss of control and a surrender to chaotic thoughts and emotions.

The song's protagonist describes a struggle to regain control, climbing hand over fist and scratching at concrete, only to find that the light at the end of the tunnel is a mirage. The air is described as heavy, symbolizing the oppressive weight of mental anguish. The repeated burns from the dark represent the ongoing pain and suffering that comes with this mental state. The pit of consciousness is a metaphor for the deep, dark recesses of the mind where clarity and sanity are lost.

As the song progresses, the protagonist's sense of self becomes increasingly fragmented. They feel as though someone else is inhabiting their mind, setting snares for their soul. This duality and internal conflict are highlighted by the changing colors of their eyes and the feeling of becoming a foreigner to oneself. The stillness that stuns and the wish to run away to the light reflect a desire to escape this mental torment. Ultimately, the song captures the harrowing experience of battling one's own mind, waiting for the chaos to be pacified and for a sense of peace to return.
