The Bottle's Lookin' Better
Journey through Chaos: Battling Demons and Embracing Liberation
Lyrics
Going down with the rest of the rats on this stinking ship
Expressing a feeling of being on a sinking ship along with others.
Gonna drown in this dirty sea that smells like shit
Anticipating drowning in a polluted and unpleasant environment.
Another night coated with blood, sweat and spit
Describing a night filled with intense physical exertion and energy.
Wake up again with a face full of floor
Waking up with a face on the floor, suggesting a rough lifestyle.
In another town that I've left before
Referencing a transient lifestyle, leaving towns behind.
At another time with all the memories that I could hoard
Recalling memories accumulated over time.
You can try to hold us down but we won't submit
Resisting attempts to be suppressed or controlled.
A mouthful of slogans might as well be shit
Dismissing empty phrases or slogans.
It all tastes the same to a bunch of hypocrites
Indicating a lack of distinction among various things, possibly criticizing hypocrisy.
We roam the land, living in a van
Living a nomadic life, traveling in a van.
Hosing down wherever we can
Engaging in activities without concern for cleanliness.
And I trace it all back to six days in Amsterdam
Linking experiences back to a specific time in Amsterdam.
I'm tired but I'm persistent I took the path that was most resistant
Expressing persistence despite being tired, choosing a challenging path.
I've covered so much distance, I never asked for any assistance
Highlighting personal achievements without seeking help.
Rock bottom ain't that bad, the bottle's looking better every night
Finding solace in alcohol, especially when at rock bottom.
To this lad, I can't measure my wealth by the things I have
Rejecting material wealth as a measure of personal value.
But I'll sleep tight tonight
Finding comfort in the bottle despite challenging circumstances.
Sweating blood to make it work
Working hard, putting in significant effort.
I woke up alone again in a park somewhere in Koln
Waking up alone in a park, emphasizing isolation.
I can still taste the blood I've left on every microphone
Recalling moments of intense performance, leaving a mark.
From Cutler Ridge to the Berlin Wall
Travelling from one location to another, possibly performing.
Throwing up blood and alcohol
Experiencing the physical toll of excessive drinking.
Lost an engine but I found myself in a whack shack in Arkansas
Facing challenges but discovering oneself in unexpected places.
The suits came knocking, said they represent
Encountering representatives claiming damages for defacing a dream.
Some fat cat asshole seeking settlement
Describing a legal threat from a wealthy individual.
For defacing an American dream his -AAA-dvertisment
Playing on the word "advertisement" to criticize the American dream.
Another time, murder on my mind
Recalling a past with violent thoughts or actions.
A cold shiver runs down my spine
Feeling a physical reaction to a disturbing memory.
I can trace it all back the these feelings I confine
Linking present feelings to past experiences that are kept hidden.
