Lyrics
Another day another town another city
Expressing repetition and monotony in touring life, moving from one place to another.
It's all the same
Highlighting the uniformity and lack of uniqueness in different locations.
And I used to find comfort in all of this
Reflecting on the past when comfort was found in the touring lifestyle.
It's an excuse to deviate from the norm
Seeing the touring routine as an excuse to deviate from societal norms.
Pathetic isn't it
Commenting on the pathetic nature of the situation described.
After all these years still not content
Expressing discontent after many years of the same lifestyle.
Happiness has been long lost
Stating the loss of happiness over time.
Suffering a drug with no cost
Describing suffering as a pervasive and cost-free "drug."
How great would it be to end it all
Contemplating the idea of ending life as a solution to the struggles.
Another show another state another country
Repeating the cycle of shows and travel across different locations.
It has always been the same
Emphasizing the perpetual nature of the touring experience.
Commanding troops just like a general
Drawing a parallel between the artist and a general leading troops.
Leading the warriors into a battle
Describing the artist leading fans or followers into the music "battle."
Pathetic isn't it
Reiterating the pathetic aspect of the ongoing situation.
After all these years, still not content
Expressing ongoing discontent despite years of experience.
Happiness has been long lost
Reiterating the loss of happiness over an extended period.
Suffering a drug with no cost
Portraying suffering as an ever-present and cost-free influence.
How great would it be to end it all
Continuing to contemplate the idea of ending life as an escape.
Why bother it won't satisfy
Questioning the worth of seeking satisfaction, implying futility.
Nothing ever does
Expressing disillusionment with the idea that nothing satisfies.
The pills, the love, the recognition and support
Mentioning various aspects (pills, love, recognition) that fail to bring satisfaction.
I live to die rot and decay
Conveying a nihilistic perspective on life, anticipating decay and death.
Happiness has been long lost
Reiterating the prolonged absence of happiness.
Suffering a drug with no cost
Maintaining the metaphor of suffering as an enduring, cost-free "drug."
How great would it be to end it all
Persisting in contemplating the allure of ending life to escape suffering.
How great would it be to run away
Extending the desire to escape to the idea of running away.
