Never Be Me
Escaping the Mundane: Blood or Whiskey's Anthem to Break Free
Lyrics
My God this town needs a shakedown
Expresses a need for significant change or upheaval in the town's situation.
Any more I'll be having a breakdown
Feeling close to a mental or emotional breakdown due to the current circumstances.
Working for the weekend to come around
Working eagerly throughout the week in anticipation of the weekend.
And when they do there's still nothing going down
Even when the weekend arrives, there's nothing worthwhile happening or changing.
'cause I've been thinking about taking a holiday
Contemplating the idea of taking a vacation.
Nowhere special some sun and a place to stay
Desiring a simple vacation with sun and a place to stay without any specific plans.
All I know is I've got to get away
Feeling the need to escape from the current situation.
Won't make it just living day to day
Realizing that just surviving day by day isn't fulfilling.
Cause I've been thinking about a thousand different things
Having numerous thoughts and considerations.
And every time I try to think I realise it doesn't matter to me
Realizing that none of these thoughts ultimately hold much significance.
That's no way for someone to go
Recognizing that the current way of living isn't suitable.
I don't have to tell you, you should know
Implying that the listener should be aware of the situation.
And these days I think it's time that you let go
Suggesting it's time to move on or release certain attachments.
You're staring out of your window
Observing someone staring out of the window.
Onto the wasteland down below
Seeing a desolate area below.
Maybe that was the way it was meant to be
Speculating that the situation might have been intended that way, but rejecting that fate personally.
But you know that will never be me
Asserting that the singer won't conform to a life of stagnation or despair.
My girl she moved to the city
Describing the relocation of the singer's girlfriend to the city.
Dope messed her up she don't look so pretty
Noting the negative impact of drugs on her appearance.
I only see her every now and then these days
Infrequent meetings with her and the lack of meaningful conversation during those meetings.
And when I do we ain't got so much to say
Her statement about not wanting to become a wasted person and wanting to make a difference in the world.
She said she'd never be a wasted hippy girl
Reflecting on a shocking incident where she was in a life-threatening situation due to drugs.
Too much to lose so little time to change the world
The singer's current state of watching TV and reminiscing about the past when she used to visit.
Would not believe it only I was there that night
Realizing the situation is spiraling out of control.
Passed out on the floor fighting for her life
Attempting to escape the situation despite physical limitations.
Now I'm watching crap on the TV
Empty entertainment on TV after her absence.
What did I do before she used to call round to me
Feeling overwhelmed by the situation.
And I know this is getting out of hand
Recognizing the attempt to flee despite difficulties.
I tried to run when I knew I could hardly stand
