I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case
My body's tremblin' sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive,
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice
(Ah)
I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying feet don't fail me now
I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?
(Ah)
I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past I'm praying feet don't fail me now
I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
I've lost
Myself
You tried to reach me but you just can't help me
So long
Goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time
'Cause now
I've lost my fucking mind
And there's no fucking time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
Oh, can't you see?
Can't you see?
Feeling:
This song has a message in it that most don't really understand but if you break it down verse by verse and looking at possibilities that the messages could be. In songs nowadays, there could be 5-6 messages in one song.
I heard a knock upon my door the other day
I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go I drag this coffin just in case
This verse is basically saying that there was a girl that he would tell that would kill him if he wasn't careful. Everywhere he goes, he feels like he's being stalked by her and can feel that she knows where he is at every moment of the day/night. And due to that, he drags the coffin around just in case that so called "drug" kills him. But I personally think that he's exaggerating about it and just being paranoid.
My body's tremblin' sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive,
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice
Due to his "paranoia", the chills is like the wind chills of the girl "stalking" him like in the previous verse, and to me, he needs to chill and just take a deep breath. The third line in the verse: "Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive" is true. It's like that time when I went through Inglewood and Crenshaw Heights, and for those that know........ I/B and C.H./C. (For those that know, you know what I mean by the abbreviations). And I think you know what I mean by mentioning this incident. The line: "Snake eyes every single time, you roll with crooked dice" in my mind, it means that no matter what you do, you always get snake eyes regardless of what you roll.
I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred year old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying feet don't fail me now
This verse is cryptic in it's own right. The first line: "I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down (pull me down)" I think referring to what I believe the darkness is like the shadow of the girl that is causing his so-called "paranoia" by "stalking him. The first line is basically comparing the girl stalking him to the darkness of a "hundred year old house" with the haunting of ghosts. The last line is basically like praying that he could get away and hoping that his feet could carry him away.
I've lost my goddamn mind
It happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually
Meant to be here
Trying to consume
The drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery
Can't you see?
This verse is like his denial phase due to the lines "I can't believe I'm actually" and "meant to be here" with the name of the song following the lines mentioned due to the steps of grief/acceptance. Honestly, some girls make it seem like they have no way out. Personally, I get how they feel cause it's not only a girl thing, it's also a guy thing that the guys also do it too. If you don't believe it, think long and hard about it, it'll be worth it.
I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?
This verse actually speaks the truth. It's like the lines "If we are born to die and we all die to live" "then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?" Which is true because we start our lives born then at the end of our lives by the hands of death. Most think that if your acts are kindly, you go to heaven, and if your acts are cruel, you go to hell. But that's not the case, that's just a state of mind to me. I don't think that we just go to just heaven or hell. I believe in the "spirit world" which is our soul's interpretation of their ideal reality when they pass on to the afterlife. Like the pharaohs for example, if they pay well and all that good stuff, Anubis would pass them on to eternal life with endless riches and goods.
I've lost
Myself
You tried to reach me but you just can't help me
So long
Goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time
This verse is basically like "I've had enough. I'm done with everyone. Good bye forever cruel world. See you all in hell" kind of thing. And I believe that it was pointed to the girl that he had and the lines "You tried to reach me but you just can't help me" and "you tried to save me, it won't work this time" and the next verse was basically the same thing as this one but more in detail than this verse. Most would have missed it but, just think about it.......
Well, this is one of the more interesting posts that I've personally made to date...... in fact, the first one by far...... see you later. :D
Later music fans,
