Rock Bottom
Surviving Rock Bottom: Reflections on Life's Trials
Lyrics
Yeah, you're standing at a crossroad
Facing a critical decision point or dilemma in life
Looking down the barrel of another low episode
Facing another challenging and difficult situation
Suffering, a distillation
Experiencing intense pain or hardship
Of your need for self gratification
Enduring suffering due to a focus on personal pleasure
Cruelty, an escape from the cycle
Being cruel as a way to break a repetitive pattern
Punishment, and the hope for revival
Facing consequences and hoping for a fresh start
Looking through the eyes of an idol
Viewing life through the perspective of an admired figure
Life is survival
Emphasizing the challenging nature of life
Life is survival
-Yeah, I can't imagine the feeling
Imagining the difficulty of a situation, possibly related to substance use
Three days up, head reeling
-Caught in your blind spot
Being cautious and strategic, waiting for the right moment
Wait until the queen's asleep before you take the shot
-Failure
Expressing the theme of failure and reaching a new low point
Just one step off the ledge
-Failure
-Welcome to a new dead end
-Panic, and a splintered home
Describing panic, judgment, and the burden of a biased trial
Judgement, and the weight of the stone
-Sentenced in a one sided trial
-Life is survival
-Truth is reprisal
Highlighting that truth may lead to retaliation
There was an inferno, we hold the match
Referencing past events, facing consequences, and paying for violence
They say the brightest flame doesn't last
-Now we face the eternal silence
-Now you pay for the price of your violence
-Rain, Wash away the stain
Symbolizing a desire for cleansing or renewal
Failure, How quickly family is forgotten
Expressing the speed at which family bonds can be forgotten, hitting a new rock bottom
Welcome to the new rock bottom
-Failure, One step and you could be free
Highlighting the possibility of freedom through failure and lack of sympathy
Hope you fall on your knees when you hit the dirt
-No sympathy
-Can you stomach the heat when you puncture the earth?
Challenging one's ability to endure consequences
