A.L.C.O.H.O.L
Battling Demons in a Bottle: A.L.C.O.H.O.L by Dallas Kalevala
Lyrics
I crash my head
Feeling mentally overwhelmed or distressed
When I hear your voice
Hurt or affected emotionally when hearing your voice
I'm shaking cold on this bathroom floor
Experiencing intense distress while physically present on the bathroom floor
Fire, you burn me fire
Feeling intense emotional pain akin to being burned
Pushing me to the corner of liars
Feeling pushed into a corner by dishonesty or deceit
I will try to run away
Attempting to escape or avoid a situation
I will try to erase the shame
Trying to remove feelings of disgrace or embarrassment
And hate to have this little boy inside of me for sale
Regretting the presence or influence of a troubled inner child
I hold a tiger inside of a bottle
Metaphorically holding onto a dangerous, destructive force
He says I love you and I killed your father
Indicating a conflicted, abusive relationship ("I love you" mixed with harming)
I hold a tiger inside of a bottle
Reiterating the idea of containing a dangerous entity
Once you wake me
After being awakened, becoming connected or entwined
We are Siamese
Reference to being closely linked or bound together, like Siamese twins
Ain't no drug hard enough
No substance is powerful enough to satisfy or fill a void
Just a hole behind a wheel
Metaphor for a futile or destructive endeavor
Fire, I can't stop this fire
Feeling unable to control a consuming emotional experience
I hold a tiger inside of a bottle
Repetition of holding a dangerous entity within
He says I love you and I killed your father
Reiteration of a conflicted, harmful relationship
I hold a tiger inside of a bottle
Continued reference to harboring a dangerous force
Once you wake me
After awakening, becoming closely linked or connected
We are Siamese
Reinforcement of the idea of being closely bound or connected
Ain't no drug hard enough
No substance is potent enough to satisfy a human's thirst or longing
For a thirsty human formula
Humans seek fulfillment or solace in various substances
