Bungled And Botched

Bungled and Botched is a cynical reflection on how power quietly shapes the lives we lead. It speaks about the way corporations, governments, and even peers decide what we value, how we measure success, and what we consider freedom. The song looks at a world where people blindly follow, convinced they are free, but never aware of the strings that hold them in place.

The verses paint images of faceless crowds moving in lockstep, shoes split open and souls worn down. There is just enough rope to give the illusion of freedom, yet never enough to break away. We see masks worn to hide despair, pills swallowed to numb thought, and walls marked with symbols that mean nothing. It is a bleak cycle of repetition where people are told they are happy but cannot be sure if the life they live is even theirs.

Bungled and Botched offers no comfort and no escape. Instead, it holds up a mirror and forces us to look at the weight of delusion and conformity. It speaks to the hollow feeling of being caught in routines that drain purpose, of being alive without truly living. It is not a song of solutions but of recognition, pulling apart the lie and naming the prison that so many mistake for freedom.
