Lyrics
You come alive at quarter to three
You become lively around 2:45 AM
You make haste for a taste
You hurry to satisfy a craving
In the parking lot of misery
In a place of unhappiness (metaphorically represented as a parking lot)
So down it goes
The substance goes down (consumed)
And up goes your need
Your desire or dependency rises
So you're fine for the time
You're okay for now
But you're on the line
You're at risk, in a precarious situation
Not in between
You're not in an intermediate state
What can this stuff do to me?
Questioning the impact of the substance
Apothecary, some more of the same today
The apothecary provides more of the same substance today
Fills that need
Fulfills the craving
You're late again for chemistry class
You are tardy for a chemistry class
You were up in the lab
You were in the laboratory
With your chemical head in a flask
Your mind is absorbed in chemical experimentation
The truth is though
Your thoughts are chaotic
Your mind is a mess
You've recently taken a dose, and your mind is in disarray
You've just taken a dose
Now you are unconscious in a problematic situation
Now you're comatose in Pandora's chest
Mention of being in a difficult situation akin to Pandora's box
How could I do this to me?
Expressing regret for the actions taken
Apothecary, oh please
Seeking relief or remedy
Where's the antidote?
Asking for a solution
For me
Personally seeking an antidote
Looking for ways you can let it out
Searching for ways to release emotions
Sleep in the days
Sleeping during the day
For tonight you'll roam about
Planning to wander at night
Pull all the stops
Expressing strong emotions
You begin to shout
Becoming vocal
Life's a big dream and you sleep
Life is a significant dream, and you're inactive until you awaken
Till you come out
Waiting to emerge from a state of inactivity
Come out
Waiting to be active
Fill my need
Expressing a desire to be fulfilled
Apothecary
Seeking fulfillment from the apothecary
Fill my need
Repetition of the desire for fulfillment
Apothecary
Repetition of seeking fulfillment from the apothecary
