Have y'all ever heard "confliction" used in any other context?

My dad has always been a troll especially when it comes to music, and used to give me a lot of shit growing up about how in the song Familiar Realm, "confliction" isn't even a word. And I always just kind of believed it because really, I had never heard anyone else use it and it does sound like kind of a redundant way to say what "conflict" already does in context. Obviously, it just needed to rhyme/fit the meter.

I finally went ahead and Googled it and all these years later found that, yeah it's a perfectly grammatically cromulent word, it's just rarely used. Again, "conflict" already pretty much describes a state of experiencing conflict.

Til now I always kind of wished Deron wrote something like, "Invaded by your own apprehension" or something. I guess now it's whatever though. Fair enough.

Am I right or do I sound like a lunatic rn? Have you ever heard "confliction" outside of Familiar Realm?
