Chaotic Lyrics – Memphis May Fire

[Intro]
I think I crave chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic
(Cha-cha-chaotic-otic)
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic-otic)
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic)

[Verse 1]
What I see is what I believe
So I like to paint the picture
Madness in every streak
Two coat the shadow figures

[Pre-Chorus]
If it’s all habitual hate
I’d rather dissociate
Chaos is what keeps me sane
Thunder to silence the rain

[Chorus]
I think I crave chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic
So why would I want to change?
It’s safe inside the void I’m lost in
I’m drowning out the noise with chaotic

[Post-Chorus]
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic-otic)
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic)

[Verse 2]
Some say it’s hell but it’s home to me
Sadistic Sanctuary
Conscience buried beneath
Don’t need no cemetery

[Pre-Chorus]
It’s all habitual hate
I’d rather dissociate
Chaos is what keeps me sane

[Chorus]
I think I crave chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic
So why would I want to change?
It’s safe inside the void I’m lost in
I’m drowning out the noise with chaotic

[Post-Chorus]
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic-otic)
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic)

[Breakdown]
Addicted to distraction
The chemical reaction
You’ve only seen a fraction
This is my mind in action
This is my mind in action
(This is my mind in action)

[Chorus]
I think I crave chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay when I stay when I stay
I think I crave chaotic
I don’t taste the pain when I stay neurotic
So why would I want to change?
It’s safe inside the void I’m lost in
Can’t save me it’s a choice I’ll rot in
I’m drowning out the noise with chaotic

[Outro]
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic-otic)
Chaotic
(Chaotic cha-cha-chaotic)
Chaotic

[Intro]
The intro sets the stage by expressing a deep-seated craving for chaos, suggesting that within this state of disorder, the individual finds relief from experiencing pain. The repetition of “chaotic” reinforces this longing for disorder, while the mention of staying neurotic hints at a habitual inclination towards anxiety or mental turmoil.

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the lyrics delve into the protagonist’s perception of reality. They assert that their beliefs are shaped by what they observe, indicating a tendency to interpret their surroundings in a way that aligns with their internal state. The metaphor of painting a picture suggests a deliberate construction of their worldview, wherein madness pervades every aspect, including the depiction of shadowy figures.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus reflects on the protagonist’s response to negativity or hatred in their environment. Rather than succumbing to these emotions, they prefer to disconnect or dissociate from them. Chaos, in this context, serves as a coping mechanism, offering a sense of stability amid turbulent emotions, akin to the calming effect of thunder drowning out the noise of rainfall.

[Chorus]
The chorus encapsulates the protagonist’s acknowledgment of their attraction to chaos. They confess that when they remain in a neurotic state, they are shielded from feeling pain, prompting them to question the necessity of change. The safety they find within the chaotic void becomes apparent, as it serves as a refuge from the outside world’s clamor.

[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus reiterates the chaotic theme introduced in the chorus, employing repetition to emphasize the allure of disorder and the rhythm of its presence in the protagonist’s life.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the lyrics contrast external perceptions with the protagonist’s internal reality. While others may view chaos as hellish, the protagonist regards it as a familiar and even comforting environment. They describe it as a sadistic sanctuary, suggesting that buried within this chaos is a sense of security, rendering traditional notions of conscience or morality unnecessary.

[Pre-Chorus]
The repetition of the pre-chorus reaffirms the protagonist’s preference for dissociation as a means of navigating through life’s challenges, underscoring the role of chaos in preserving their mental equilibrium.

[Chorus]
Once again, the chorus emphasizes the protagonist’s inclination towards chaos and their reluctance to embrace change. The repetition of the chaotic void as a place of safety reinforces their acceptance of this state as their chosen refuge.

[Post-Chorus]
Continuing from the previous post-chorus, this section reinforces the chaotic motif through repetition, emphasizing its pervasive influence on the protagonist’s mindset.

[Breakdown]
The breakdown section delves deeper into the protagonist’s psyche, highlighting their addiction to distractions and the chemical reactions occurring within their mind. The mention of others seeing only a fraction suggests that outsiders may not fully comprehend the complexity of the protagonist’s inner turmoil.

[Chorus]
In this final rendition of the chorus, the protagonist’s resignation to their chaotic reality becomes apparent. Despite recognizing the potential consequences of remaining stagnant, they choose to embrace chaos as their sanctuary, even if it leads to their eventual deterioration.

[Outro]
The outro serves as a concluding statement, repeating the chaotic theme one last time. Its rhythmic repetition underscores the song’s overarching message, leaving the listener with a lingering impression of the protagonist’s tumultuous journey.
