Whiskey in the Morning
Whiskey-fueled Descent: A Rock Anthem's Dark Journey
Lyrics
Wasted youth and mad as hell
Expressing a sense of wasted youth and intense frustration
My friends keep asking me
Friends are expressing concern about the person's well-being
Are you ok, man, you're eyes are glazin'
Friends notice the person's glazed eyes, indicating possible distress
I can't get over it
The person is struggling to overcome something
This shit is killing me
The situation is emotionally draining and difficult to cope with
My body's achin', hands are shakin'
Physical and emotional effects of the difficult situation
(Chorus)
Repetition of the chorus begins
I'm cutting down you heard the line
Expressing an intention to cut down, possibly on harmful habits
Whiskey in the morning one more time
Mention of drinking whiskey in the morning as a coping mechanism
Hit that cigarette Colt 45
Reference to smoking a cigarette and Colt 45 (a type of malt liquor)
Whiskey in the morning
Repetition of the mention of whiskey in the morning
can't stop drinkin' gonna die.
Acknowledgment of a struggle with excessive drinking
I can't stop thinkin' how
Unable to stop thinking about the past and the impact of drugs
Where I was before the drugs
Reflecting on life before the influence of drugs
A young day dreamer, fixed on screamers
Describing a past self as a dreamer fixated on intense experiences
Still really loved the life
Despite difficulties, the person still loved the life they led
Drinking, snorting, smoking high
Engaging in destructive behaviors like drinking, snorting, and smoking
Super jaded, loaded, hated
Feeling disillusioned, loaded with negative emotions
(Chorus)
Repetition of the chorus
I go out every night
Expressing a pattern of going out every night
Helpless secrets lifeless eyes
Describing a sense of helplessness and lifelessness
Tore up, faded
Being torn up and faded, possibly a reference to a distressed state
No give taken
Describing a situation with no compromise or reciprocity
Still really love the life
Despite challenges, there is still a love for the lifestyle
Drinking, snorting, smoking highs
Continuing destructive behaviors of drinking, snorting, and smoking
Sweet leaf space case
Reference to "Sweet Leaf" (a Black Sabbath song) and being spacey
Hands are shakin'
Repetition of hands shaking, possibly due to the effects of substances
(Chorus)
Repetition of the chorus
