Eternal Struggle: Alley Trash's Haunting Reflections on Life and Death
Lyrics
We're not empty corpses
We affirm our existence; we are not lifeless bodies.
We've had names
We have identities and individuality.
Don't write us off as some kind of pity case
Don't dismiss us as objects of pity; our lives have value.
It's all very personal
Our experiences are deeply personal and meaningful.
Dispatch of means
Dealings with our issues and challenges.
It's my first time here so I'd appreciate some patience please
This is my first experience here; I request understanding and tolerance.
I can't remember how the hell that I got home
I can't recall how I managed to return home.
There's a question playing and burning over in my head
A persistent question troubles my thoughts.
Lights out
The lights are off; there's a sense of finality.
We're already dead
We are already spiritually dead.
Lights out
Reiteration of our spiritual demise.
We're already dead
Emphasizing our existential emptiness.
We're all in the same sand pit somewhere above the earth
We share a common, mundane existence above the ground.
Hey man I might be freaking out
Expressing anxiety or distress.
I'd like to start drinking now
Desire to numb the pain through drinking.
I was just starting not to feel like hell
A moment of relief from feeling terrible.
I'm only on top when I'm raising hell
I find satisfaction only in causing chaos.
So why does everything feel the same
An inquiry into the monotony of life.
Tossed out by gods
Abandoned by higher powers.
Haunted by ghouls
Tormented by negative influences.
We are the walking dead alive
We are the living dead, existing in a paradox.
Too dumb for devils
We lack intelligence for evil.
Haunted by ghouls
Continued haunting by negative forces.
We are the walking dead alive
Reiteration of our paradoxical existence.
Ain't it funny how you called it some tiny town
Reflection on how a place was belittled, and now it's not present.
And I ain't seen your shit around here anymore
Expressing the absence of someone or something previously mentioned.
Ain't it funny how you called it some tiny ass fucking town
Rephrasing the previous line with added intensity.
And I ain't see your shit around here anymore
Emphasizing the absence with frustration.
You got some fucking nerve
An expression of anger or disbelief towards someone's audacity.
Nothing is permanent
Highlighting the impermanence of everything.
Everything's temporary
Stressing the transient nature of all things.
I haven't felt myself like this in a god damn fucking eternity
Describing a profound, enduring change in self-perception.
You got got some fucking nerve
Reiteration of strong disapproval or shock towards someone's audacity.
