Menthol Nights
Menthol Nights: Battling Addiction and Forbidden Desires
Lyrics
How many times have you told yourself this is the last time?
Contemplating the recurrence of a negative behavior or situation.
How many times have you told yourself that this is never gonna happen again?
Reflecting on the frequency of promising to avoid a repeated occurrence.
How many times have you finally put that bottle down for good
Acknowledging past attempts to quit a detrimental habit, specifically involving alcohol.
To turn around and fall back in?
Expressing the struggle of relapsing after making a positive change.
With you it's so much worse
Highlighting the severity of the emotional impact when with a particular person.
My heart is locked inside this coffin
Metaphorically portraying emotional confinement and distress.
You're the one who's driving the hearse
Attributing the control and impact of the relationship to the other person.
You're like a drug that I can't stop taking
Comparing the influence of the person to a drug, indicating dependency.
You're a mistake that I can't stop making
Characterizing the person as a persistent and regrettable error.
Pulling me back in
Describing the irresistible pull back into the problematic relationship.
You're like the taste of my last cigarette
Drawing a parallel between the person and the lingering taste of a harmful habit.
You are the one that I wish I could forget
Expressing a desire to forget the person despite difficulty.
Here we go again
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of returning to the troubled relationship.
I've tried everything to quit you
Conveying attempts to break free from the influence of the person.
When I'm in doubt, I put you out
Using the metaphor of extinguishing to convey coping with doubts.
Everything seems fine
Describing a deceptive appearance of normalcy despite internal struggles.
I swear you keep me sick
Stating that the person is a source of emotional distress.
Your attention's an addiction that I just can't seem to kick
Labeling the person's attention as an addictive force that cannot be overcome.
You're like a drug that I can't stop taking
Reiterating the person's influence as a compelling and addictive force.
You're a mistake that I can't stop making
Emphasizing the repetitive nature of making regrettable mistakes.
Pulling me back in
Highlighting the inescapable pull back into the problematic relationship.
You're like the taste of my last cigarette
Comparing the person to the lingering taste of a harmful habit.
You are the one that I wish I could forget
Expressing a desire to forget the person despite difficulty.
Here we go again
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of returning to the troubled relationship.
There are angels and demons at war in my head
Describing internal conflicts between positive and negative influences.
This must be my afterlife
Suggesting a sense of despair or numbness, possibly due to the impact of the relationship.
I'm already dead
Conveying a feeling of being emotionally dead or drained.
I hope and I pray you won't come back around
Expressing a hope to avoid the return of the problematic person.
My words fall on deaf ears as I'm lowered into the ground
Highlighting a sense of futility as pleas go unheard, possibly symbolizing the end of the relationship.
