Whiskey
Lingering Shadows: Unveiling the Bitter Aftertaste of Whiskey
Lyrics
You follow me like a shadow
You are constantly present in my life, akin to a shadow.
Everywhere I go
Your presence is everywhere I go.
Though one step behind me
Even though you follow me closely, you are one step behind.
You always remain so close
You remain close to me, never really leaving.
You linger like Whiskey
Your lingering presence is compared to the way whiskey coats the lips.
Coating my lips
This presence burns within me, much like whiskey does.
It burns in my chest and
The sensation is felt in my chest and induces dizziness.
It gives me the spins
Despite this, I have matured, and I am aware of your actions.
But I am long grown now
I understand what you have done in the past.
I know what you did
I am struggling to cope and live with the knowledge.
And I’m trying somehow to live with it
Even as you are distant, I am trying to navigate my life.
While you’re far away now
You are enjoying your life, seemingly free from the consequences of your actions.
Loving your life
The damage you caused is not affecting you.
Free from the damage that you left behind
It seems unjust that my friends view you positively.
And it’s unfair that
They appear to have forgotten the negative aspects of your personality.
My friends think you’re cool
Your lingering presence is still affecting me like whiskey.
It’s like they’ve forgotten
This effect is making me feel unwell.
The monster in you
You appeared in my life as a friend but concealed your true intentions.
You linger like Whiskey
I fell for the facade you presented.
Coating my lips
You entered my life, and when I was vulnerable, you stole my pride.
And it’s making me sick
Similar to before, I am now aware of your actions.
You stood in my presence
I am attempting to cope and live with the knowledge.
Dressed like a friend
Despite your physical absence, you seem content in your life.
Hiding your motives
You are unaffected by the damage you caused in my life.
Your true intentions
It feels unjust that my friends still see you positively.
I fell for your costume
It's as if they have forgotten the negative aspects of your character.
I let you inside
Your lingering presence continues to affect me like whiskey.
And when I was wounded
This impact is making me feel physically unwell.
You stole my pride
Your presence in my life was deceptive, concealing your true motives.
But I am long grown now
You manipulated my trust and took advantage of my vulnerability.
I know what you did
I have matured and now understand the depth of your actions.
And I’m trying somehow to live with it
I am struggling to come to terms with the knowledge.
While you’re far away now
You are distant, seemingly unaffected by the consequences.
Loving your life
You are enjoying your life, free from the repercussions you caused.
Free from the damage that you left behind
It feels unfair that my friends still view you positively.
And it’s unfair that
It's as if they have overlooked the negative aspects of your character.
My friends think you’re cool
Your lingering presence continues to affect me like whiskey.
It’s like they’ve forgotten
This impact is making me physically ill.
The monster in you
Despite your friendly appearance, you harbored a destructive side.
You linger like Whiskey
I fell for the facade, allowing you to cause harm.
Coating my lips
Your presence, like whiskey, continues to have a negative effect.
And it’s making me sick
This impact is causing me emotional and physical distress.
