Alcohol makes me forget
Battling Demons: Crying Silke's Melody of Forgetfulness
Lyrics
Alcohol makes me forget
Alcohol helps in forgetting things.
About my biggest weakness
It helps in forgetting the speaker's major vulnerability.
The problem was gone
Issues seem resolved after consuming just one drink.
Just after one
Alcohol's immediate effect on eliminating problems.
Alcohol makes me forget
Alcohol aids in forgetting about the speaker's own identity.
About me
Forgetting oneself due to alcohol.
The folks around this new born man wouldn't know who I am
People around the speaker wouldn't recognize them in an inebriated state.
Like a lonely night of regretes
Comparing drinking alone to a regretful night when away from friends.
When he's not near his friends
When not with friends, the speaker resorts to alcohol and cigarettes.
But near his third pack of cigarettes
Turning to cigarettes as a coping mechanism when feeling isolated.
Just a crutch at first
Initially, alcohol was just a support but gradually became a dependency.
Drinking with the others
Initially drinking socially with others.
But now
A shift from social drinking to isolation.
He's all alone
The speaker is left alone while others enjoy themselves.
While the others are dancing on the floor
Contrast between the speaker's isolation and others' enjoyment.
He's checking his phone
The speaker feels disconnected, focusing on their phone.
Trinkend vor dem Kiosk steht er ganz allein, viele Dinge hat er nicht mehr
The speaker stands alone by the kiosk with few possessions.
Und jetzt nimmt er seine Flasche in die Hand
The speaker takes a bottle in hand, expressing anger and fear.
Und wirft sie aus Wut und Angst an die Wand
Throwing the bottle in a fit of rage and fear.
Like a lonely night of regretes
Reiteration of the feeling of loneliness when away from friends.
When he's not near his friends
Using cigarettes as a substitute when not with friends.
But near his third pack of cigarettes
Continued reliance on cigarettes in isolation.
Just a crutch at first
Initially, alcohol and cigarettes were just support mechanisms.
Drinking with the others
Initially drinking with others for support.
But now
Transition from drinking socially to being isolated.
He's all alone
The speaker's isolation while others enjoy themselves.
While the others are dancing on the floor
Contrast between the speaker's solitude and others' revelry.
He' staring at his phone
The speaker is fixated on their phone, disconnected.
Staring at his phone
Continued focus on the phone, emphasizing disconnection.
