Lyrics
This place is dragging me down
This location is causing a feeling of being pulled down or overwhelmed.
A hamster wheel, I thought I'd be done by now
Life feels repetitive like running on a wheel, expecting to be done or accomplished by now.
Now that all my allies are gone
After losing all support, realizing progress might hinder personal connections or relationships.
I realize advancing could hold you back
Understanding that moving forward might hinder personal relationships or connections.
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
Well-meaning actions keep being neglected or ignored.
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Despite efforts, these intentions are consistently erased or forgotten over time.
'Til everything's gone, 'til everything's gone
The eventual result is the loss of everything.
I was flying along the Long Island Sound
Used to feel free and happy, particularly by the Long Island Sound.
But fine's polite I'd rather things more profound
Politeness ('fine') seems shallow; a desire for deeper, more meaningful experiences.
I've become a rock these days and I swim like one
Feeling stagnant and unchanging, likened to a rock, unable to progress.
Alone again, barely surviving the tidal wave
Isolated and barely surviving amidst overwhelming challenges.
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
Continued well-meaning actions keep being neglected or ignored.
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Despite efforts, these intentions are consistently erased or forgotten over time.
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
The eventual result is the loss of everything.
I swear, damn it all to hell, damn it all to hell
An expression of frustration or anger towards the situation.
I think I finally found the way to go to heaven
Feels like discovering a path towards happiness or fulfillment without drastic changes or risks.
Without dying, so I'm on my way
Initiating a journey towards this newfound path while still alive.
The harder you work, the harder you fall
There's a risk that the harder one works, the more devastating the potential failure could be.
You wake up one day with nothing at all
Realizing that hard work might not guarantee anything; one could lose everything suddenly.
My good intentions just keep sliding by the wayside
Continued well-meaning actions keep being neglected or ignored.
But it's high tide and they get washed away with time
Despite efforts, these intentions are consistently erased or forgotten over time.
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
The eventual result is the loss of everything.
Until everything's gone, until everything's gone
The continuous repetition of losing everything.
I swear, damn it all to hell
Expressing frustration or anger towards the situation, reiterating damnation.
