I turn up the music
And I let the drums pound into my ears
The loud music won't penetrate my bulletproof skull, though
So I'm not worried that it will hurt me

The singing turns to screaming
Still I press the headphones to my ears
The loud volume isn't distressing
It's actually calming, in a way
I close my eyes,
And I'm in another world separate from reality
It's just me and the music
Alone in this other universe
Away from all the stresses and worries reality brings us
