about

Utflod - "Boa Constrictor" is a song about being pursued by inner demons. The lyrics are a critique of the current state of mental health services. It seems that there are not enough mental health professionals, which can lead to fewer options for those who need or want help. Simply being mentally ill is not enough to receive help. "You're not good enough to feel like shit. If you answer wrong, you get nothing." One may feel pressure to make their illness worse in order to receive help. "What do you have to do to get help? Cut your life out, write the application in blood." Something needs to change.

lyrics

Boa Constrictor

Iskald piggtråd
Veks som roser gjennom blodårene
Du kjem, når eg trudde du var borte

Eg har ein boa constrictor rundt mitt hjarte

Eg har møtt deg
alt for mange
gongar før
I skuggane
I speglet
I ansikta rundt
River ut håret
Prøver å gjøyme meg


Du kan prøve
å hjelpe
Men vil aldri få det til

Vakum i brystet
Eit svarthull, tømmer meg for liv
Eg har ein boa constrictor rundt mitt hjarte

Mannen med kvit frakk
Kan gi deg medisin
Svarer du feil
Får du ingen ting

Eg har ein boa constrictor rundt mitt hjarte

Du er ikkje god nok
Til å ha det jævelig
Svarer du feil
Får du ingenting

Kva må du gjere
For å få hjelp
Kutt ut livet
Skriv søknad med blod

Mannen med kvitt frakk
Kan gi deg medisin
Svarer du feil
får du ingen ting
