Wasted
Breaking Chains: Battling Inner Demons in 'Wasted'
Lyrics
Well there's a voice in my head
There's a conflicting inner voice in the speaker's head.
But it's not who I am
The voice does not represent the true identity of the speaker.
Some days I don't mind it
Some days, the speaker tolerates the inner voice.
But maybe I'd be happier
The speaker contemplates abandoning the inner voice for happiness.
If I gave it up and left it all out there
The speaker considers leaving everything behind for a better life.
You know I'm tired of getting wasted
The speaker expresses fatigue from excessive drinking.
But still I act if nothing's wrong, I play along
Despite the fatigue, the speaker pretends everything is fine.
I'm stuck at home, I know my memory's fading
Feeling trapped at home, the speaker acknowledges memory loss.
I know you're sick of my complainin'
The speaker is aware of being a burden with constant complaints.
So I waste all my time inside my mind
The speaker wastes time dwelling on thoughts in their mind.
That's life for me
This introspective lifestyle is described as the speaker's reality.
It's not the darkness that I need
The speaker doesn't seek darkness but requires the distraction of smoke.
I need the smoke to feel free
Smoke is needed by the speaker to feel a sense of freedom.
It'll seep inside my brain
The smoke affects the speaker's mind, offering relief from pain.
And take away my pain
The speaker finds solace in the altered state induced by smoke.
Sleep inside the bed I made
The consequences of the speaker's actions are acknowledged.
And when I wake up I won't be the same
Anticipation of change upon waking up from the altered state.
You know I'm tired of getting wasted
Reiteration of fatigue from excessive drinking.
But still I act if nothing's wrong, I play along
Pretending everything is normal despite exhaustion.
I'm smoking backwoods til I'm fucked up and faded
The speaker resorts to smoking heavily to cope.
I know you're sick of my complainin'
Awareness of others being tired of the speaker's complaints.
And I'm thinkin'
The speaker is in a contemplative state, possibly feeling down.
That I'm sinking
Expressing a feeling of sinking or worsening circumstances.
And I know that you hoped that this was only temporary
The speaker acknowledges someone's hope that their situation is temporary.
But I'm buried
Feeling overwhelmed or buried by the challenges.
(I will be alright, I will be alright)
A repeated affirmation that the speaker will be alright despite challenges.
(I will be alright, I will be alright)
-Why do I feel like this
The speaker questions the cause of their emotional state.
Inside you see
An internal struggle is acknowledged.
I just want to be free
The speaker desires freedom from their current state.
Live like I once tried
A yearning to live as the speaker once attempted.
I will be alright
Reassurance that, ultimately, the speaker will be alright.
I will be alright
Reiteration of the belief that the speaker will be alright.
