Triggered
SkyDxddy Lyrics

I can't do this anymore
What am I even fighting for?

In SkyDxddy's song Triggered, the artist talks about their struggles with PTSD and the triggering events that bring back their traumatic experiences. The artist acknowledges that while people may not mean any harm, experiencing these triggers can be overwhelming and lead to panic attacks and flashbacks. The artist highlights the frustration of feeling like people around them don't understand what they're going through or dismiss their struggles as exaggerated. They describe the feeling of being frozen in the present while their mind takes them back to the traumatic past, leaving them broken and uninspired. The chorus of the song emphasizes the cyclical nature of triggers and PTSD, how they don't just disappear over time and can feel unbearable to live with.

Throughout the song, the artist highlights various coping mechanisms they use to deal with their PTSD, such as sealing themselves in a soundproof room to scream or turning to substances to numb the pain. The artist also challenges the common notion that PTSD is just a "figment of memories" or a "real bad dream". They highlight the physical toll the illness has had on them, such as being unable to be around cigarettes even though many people smoke.

In summary, SkyDxddy's song Triggered is a powerful testimony to the struggles people with PTSD go through in their everyday life. The artist highlights the debilitating nature of triggers and the feelings of isolation and frustration that come with it. The song is a call for empathy and understanding towards those who suffer from PTSD.

I shoudn't take things so serious
I need to lighten up and not take everything so seriously

I don't think they mean any harm
I don't believe that anyone is intentionally trying to hurt me

But it would sicken you too
But if you were in my situation, you would understand

If it happened to you
If you experienced the same trauma as I did

And you had to relive every part
And you had to constantly relive and remember every detail of that trauma

Here come the flashbacks
Now I'm experiencing intense flashbacks of that trauma

And the panic attacks
Coupled with panic attacks

How long does that shit last
How long do flashbacks and panic attacks last?

I'm losing myself by the day see
I feel like I'm slowly losing my grip on myself

And I know you all think that I'm crazy
I am aware that others think I am insane

That the demons that show up
Others believe that the demons I see

At the foot of my bed
At the foot of my bed

Are just figments from memories
Are simply figments of my memories

That fucked up my head
But those memories have severely impacted my mental wellbeing

That night terrors ain't nothin
Others believe that my night terrors are not real

But a real bad dream
But they are not just a typical bad dream

So quit being a God Damn drama queen
So stop overreacting and being a drama queen

I seal myself in a sound proof room
I isolate myself in a soundproof room

So no one can hear how loud I scream
To prevent others from hearing how much I scream

But you don't think it's as bad as it seems
But others don't believe that it's as severe as I'm making it out to be

Cause you've never dealt with PTSD
Because you've never experienced PTSD like I have

Frozen in your track
Stuck in place, unable to move forward

Take a visit to the past
Think back to that traumatic event

To see the devils dirty deed
To remember the evil actions that caused the trauma

Leave a mark all down your back
Be physically and emotionally scarred from the trauma

I can't even be around cigarettes
I cannot even be around cigarettes due to the trauma they trigger

You know how many people smoke?
Do you know how many people smoke?

Approximately one billion
There are around one billion smokers worldwide

And just about everybody I know
And it seems like everyone I know smokes

You think you know but you don't
You may think you understand, but you truly don't

When someone's broke you can't just heavy sigh
You cannot just sigh heavily when someone is experiencing emotional/spiritual poverty

And roll your eyes
Or roll your eyes

Like if they ain't physically ill
If they don't have a physical illness

Then they must be a liar
Then they must be lying about their mental health

But wouldn't you recede to the fire
But wouldn't you retreat to the fire (i.e., fall apart) if you were in my shoes?

If everything around you became a threat
If everything around you felt like a threat

And everyone surrounding you said
And everyone around you said

GET OVER IT
To just get over it

It becomes unbearable to live in
Living under these conditions becomes unbearable

So listen
So please listen

Triggers are relentless
Triggers are constant and unrelenting

They ain't gonna quit
They won't stop happening

They don't go away just cause you don't
Triggers won't disappear just because others don't believe in their reality

Believe it
It's true whether people believe it or not

Reliving each nightmare on an everyday basis
Every day, I relive the same nightmares and trauma

I don't think I can do this
I don't believe I can keep going through this

I don't think I can take this
I don't think I can handle this anymore

You sent my mind on fire
You caused me intense mental distress

Sparks flying I'm rewired
My mind is a mess and I need to be rewired

You left me no desire
You left me with no motivation or desire to keep going

Broken and uninspired
I'm broken and not inspired to do anything

Hopeless so I get higher
I feel hopeless and try to numb the pain

And higher till I'm tired
I keep increasing my drug/alcohol use until I can't anymore

And there's no reminder
And there is nothing to remind me

Of what I'm crying for
Of why I'm in tears

Cause I can't fucking do this anymore
Because I cannot go through this anymore

What am I even fighting for?
What is the point of all of this fighting?
