Afraid Of Freud

Freudian slip
Nonsensical quip 
Slip of the tongue 
Unconsciously flung
Freud’s psychoanalysis 
A tongue~tied crisis 
synapse snapped 
synapsis taken a rap 
eyes have cried 
even though 
tears have dried 
expressing 
linguistic parapraxis 
cosmic periapsis 
when 
the tongue slips 
vocalising 
a subconscious 
quick fix 
Freud flips 
the switch

      2. (Title: Afraid of Freud)

        (Verse 1)
        In the shadow of the mind where the secrets hide,
        Freud’s lurking, in the dark, on the ego’s side.
        Freudian slip, a trip, a minor glitch,
        Words slipping through the crack, a subconscious stitch.

        Nonsensical quip, a slip of the tongue,
        Unconsciously flung, the bell is rung.
        Psychoanalysis, diving deep in the abyss,
        In the psyche’s maze, we often miss.

        (Chorus)
        Afraid of Freud, in the mental void,
        Where dreams are deployed, and fears are toyed.
        In the depth of the psyche, where thoughts alloy,
        We’re all just afraid, afraid of Freud.

        (Verse 2)
        A tongue-tied crisis, in a mind’s oasis,
        Synapse snapped, reality collapses.
        Synapsis taken a rap, a mental relapse,
        Eyes have cried, history’s lapse.

        Tears have dried, but the soul capsizes,
        Expressing the thoughts in linguistic disguises.
        Linguistic parapraxis, a slip that chastises,
        Revealing the depth where the true self rises.

        (Chorus)
        Afraid of Freud, where thoughts convoy,
        In the unconscious deploy, emotions decoy.
        In the battles of the psyche, we’re overjoyed,
        Yet we’re all just afraid, afraid of Freud.

        (Bridge)
        Cosmic periapsis, orbiting the mind’s eclipses,
        When the tongue slips, the hidden script flips.
        Vocalizing a subconscious quick fix,
        Freud flips the switch, in the psyche’s mix.

        (Verse 3)
        In dreams and slips, the truth unwinds,
        Freud’s theories, exploring the mind’s binds.
        Oedipus complex, desires intertwined,
        Id, ego, superego, the tripartite mind.

        (Chorus)
        Afraid of Freud, in the depths unexplored,
        Where the psyche’s sword is silently stored.
        In the echo of the thoughts, unignored,
        We’re all just afraid, afraid of Freud.

        (Outro)
        In the labyrinth of the mind, where we dodge and avoid,
        The truth that Freud uncovered, forever deployed.
        In every slip, and dream, and Freudian ploy,
        We find ourselves afraid, perpetually, of Freud.
