Shinobi

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of profound disorientation and self-doubt, particularly when in the presence of a specific person. The narrator's head feels "not worth sweat," suggesting a loss of confidence or mental clarity. This feeling is amplified by fragmented phrases like "Did it see my / Embalming," hinting at a morbid introspection or a sense of being preserved in a state of decay. The repetition of "Circles drawn outline / Drawn outline" and "Written in chalk" evokes a feeling of being trapped or marked, a sense of predetermined fate that can't be easily erased.
