Tick Tick BOOM! ‘Come To Your Senses’

The excerpt is a lyrical monologue performed by a solo vocalist, expressing a deep sense of emotional disconnection and frustration with a partner who has become distant and unresponsive. The speaker pleads for the listener to ‘come to their senses,’ urging them to drop defensive barriers and reconnect authentically. Throughout the piece, the narrator critiques modern love as disposable and superficial, contrasting it with earlier intimacy (“it was only you and me”). Vivid sensory and musical metaphors—static on a screen, fading signals, a band’s melody, five senses—illustrate the internal turmoil and the desire for genuine feeling. The tone oscillates between yearning, sarcasm, and a desperate call for real connection, culminating in a hopeful invitation for the partner to ‘come back alive.’
