Lyrics
Turn the faucet on
Expressing the action of turning on the faucet.
Baby don't let me drown
A plea not to be left alone or abandoned, possibly in a difficult situation.
While I wash the pills down
Implies the act of taking medication, potentially as a coping mechanism.
Wash the pills down
Reiteration of taking pills, emphasizing the act.
Tap water in my cup
Describing the use of tap water to consume the pills.
Sick to my mother fucking guts
Expressing intense discomfort or nausea.
Sick to my mother fucking guts
Repetition for emphasis on the physical and emotional distress.
Life before my eyes I rummage through these wise old wounds
Reflecting on past experiences, possibly painful memories.
Took so many pills I'll plummet in my bed quiet soon
Acknowledging the consumption of a significant number of pills, anticipating the effect.
Could be dead by noon
Suggesting a potential life-threatening outcome, emphasizing urgency.
Unless you...
A conditional statement, implying a need for intervention.
(Unless you)
Repetition of the conditional statement for emphasis.
Lost my count of all the chances that have passed on by
Expressing a sense of regret or missed opportunities.
All the phantoms keep on dancing round my tired eyes
Describing persistent thoughts or memories that haunt the individual.
They could take my life
Acknowledging the potential risk of losing one's life.
If they want to...
Reiteration of the potential consequences, possibly feeling powerless.
(If they want to)
