Doctors For Transparency
Journey Beyond: Embracing Life's Inevitable Struggles
Lyrics
Scoop out all the marrow from my worn and rusted bones
Scooping out the essence of life from exhausted and deteriorated bones.
I'm not going to need them where I'm going
Expressing a departure to a place where the speaker won't need their physical body.
Tear away my arms and legs, I never cared too much for them
Indifferent attitude towards limbs, suggesting detachment from physical aspects.
But I bet you blood these veins got guilt to let
Suggesting that the veins contain guilt, possibly symbolic of emotional burdens.
Got some things that I don't need but your money's not worth the ashes, here
Rejecting the value of material possessions compared to personal worth and experiences.
You wanna tear it up and throw it in the ground
Disregarding materialistic pursuits by encouraging destruction and abandonment.
That paper's worth as much to me
Monetary value is insignificant, contrasting it with the speaker's priorities.
As these four words on some pre-lined sheet
Minimizing the importance of written words, especially those on a pre-lined sheet.
Words to some shit song that I wrote down
Diminishing the significance of personal creations like a song, suggesting nihilism.
Cause it's a long way down, and you won't find your way back up
Highlighting the difficulty of descending into a negative state with no easy return.
It's a hard way out, and you won't find your way back up
Emphasizing the challenging nature of escaping a difficult situation with no way back.
I could call the doctor if you like
Sarcastically offering to call a doctor, possibly to address mental distress.
To take you away to the madhouse for the rest of your life
Suggesting institutionalization as a solution to ongoing mental struggles.
Your brown and yellow stained sheets
Describing the unpleasant state of personal surroundings with vivid imagery.
Your sweat will rust your mattress springs
Linking physical decay (rust) with the toll of emotional distress (sweat).
Dirty handprints decorate the shattered fragments of your mind
Symbolizing the fractured state of the mind through the metaphor of shattered fragments.
Cause it's a long way down, and you won't find your way back up
Reiterating the challenging journey downward with a bleak outlook on return.
It's a hard way out, and you won't find your way back up
Continuing to emphasize the arduous path and the lack of a way back up.
You won't find your way back up
Reinforcing the idea that there's no recovery or redemption from the difficult situation.
I wasn't lying when I said we're shit out of luck
Affirming the lack of fortune or positive outcomes in the current circumstances.
And you won't find your way back up
Repeating the notion that there's no return from the downward spiral.
Cause it's a long way down, and you won't find your way back up
Reiterating the long and challenging journey downward with a sense of finality.
Yeah it's a hard way out, and you won't find your way back up
Affirming the difficulty of escaping the negative situation and the absence of a way back up.
