Backstory:
Sometimes people self-medicate to numb out and manage their emotions. Before they know it they have crossed over a grey line and are addicted. In the end, they become detached from more than the emotion they were trying to escape in the first place. Cowritten by Clare Steffen (USA) and MonLee Mane (UK), and performed by MonLee.
Lyrics:
V1
The world is troubled and confused
So many feel lost and all alone
Just another excuse to use
They can't make it on their own
V2
I never thought I'd join the masses
But somehow I tripped and fell
I took off my rose-colored glasses
And entered my own personal hell
Chorus
I thought I'd walk the straight and narrow
Path, but somehow I took a left turn
I was mugged by my emotions
Shot, by a tranquilizer arrow
Intoxication is a slow burn
There are so many flavors and potions
I was mugged by my emotions
V3
Disconnected my brain went numb
Before I knew it I crossed the line
A premonition of things to come
I couldn't read the danger signs
Chorus
I thought I'd walk the straight and narrow
Path, but somehow I took a left turn
I was mugged by my emotions
Shot, by a tranquilizer arrow
Intoxication is a slow burn
There are so many flavors and potions
I was mugged by my emotions
Outro
Just another excuse to use
Mugged by my emotions
Numb, lost, and confused
