OneO & Slavoj McAllister - Makes Me Feel Better
This song appears to explore themes of self-awareness, autonomy, and liberation from external control. The lyrics describe a person confronting the ways in which they have been shaped or controlled by outside forces, represented by a "broken mirror" and "programs in my head." The image of being a "machine" or a "virus to control" suggests a feeling of being manipulated or reduced to an object that can be easily controlled or influenced by others, possibly alluding to societal expectations, technology, or even toxic relationships.

However, the song presents a shift in perspective. The repeated refrain "It makes me feel better" indicates that the speaker is reclaiming their sense of self, feeling empowered in breaking free from this control. The lines "I'm unplugged, but not alone" suggest that while they may disconnect from harmful influences (the "program" or "virus"), they are not isolated—there are others who share this sense of freedom.

The focus on feeling "better" and being "unplugged" points toward a journey of self-liberation, where rejecting external control leads to a sense of relief and empowerment. The song's structure, with its repetitive and almost hypnotic chorus, emphasizes the catharsis and release from tension, making the listener feel the emotional impact of breaking free from external pressures.

Overall, the theme seems to be about rejecting control, finding strength in individuality, and embracing personal freedom. The repetition of "it makes me feel better" suggests a continuous journey toward self-realization and a sense of well-being through detachment from these controlling forces. -- Watch live at   / eccentricnarsic
