Blinded by Substance
Journey Through Shadows: Dirt Miller's Struggle with Inner Demons
Lyrics
Consumed by shortcomings it's the calm before the storm
Feeling overwhelmed by personal flaws, anticipating a challenging situation.
Denying my conscience kept the needle in my arm
Ignoring inner morality, succumbing to substance abuse.
All the lonely nights I spent passed out aside an empty bed left me suffering
Experiencing lonely nights, passed out beside an empty bed, suffering due to the absence of companionship.
Absent of your company
Expressing the pain of being without the company of a significant other.
Hallelu I got them demons up in my head
Acknowledging inner struggles and the presence of troubling thoughts.
Hallelu got a few monsters under my bed
Highlighting personal demons and monsters, possibly metaphorical, causing distress.
All of the things I should have said
Regretting unspoken words and missed opportunities for communication.
An empty bottle's my only friend
Depicting an empty bottle as a companion, suggesting reliance on substances.
But where were you, tell me where were you
Questioning the absence and reliability of someone important.
Oh blinded by substance what a vicious life I've lived
Reflecting on a life marked by substance abuse, acknowledging its detrimental effects.
Caught up in the heartache and smothered by my sin
Being entangled in emotional pain and overwhelmed by personal sins.
It's this constant walking sideways that's caused a resonating shame
Describing a pattern of living with constant guilt and shame, metaphorically walking sideways.
Quick not to listen, I've got no one left to blame
Recognizing a lack of receptiveness and accepting responsibility for one's actions.
All the lonely nights I spent passed out aside an empty bed left me suffering
Reiterating the theme of lonely nights, emphasizing the suffering without companionship.
Absent of your company
Expressing the pain of being without the company of a significant other (repeated).
Hallelu I got them demons up in my head
Acknowledging inner struggles and the presence of troubling thoughts (repeated).
Hallelu got a few monsters under my bed
Highlighting personal demons and monsters, possibly metaphorical, causing distress (repeated).
All of these things I should have said
Regretting unspoken words and missed opportunities for communication (repeated).
An empty bottle's my only friend
Depicting an empty bottle as a companion, suggesting reliance on substances (repeated).
But where were you, oh where were you
Questioning the absence and reliability of someone important (repeated).
All these obstacles in my head, oh I hope I'm not better off dead
Expressing mental struggles, hoping not to end up in a worse state.
My souls trying to get out my chest but my shoes are filled with lead
Feeling constrained, physically and emotionally burdened, possibly by negative influences.
Well I've been running out of breath cause all of the ruthless things you said
Describing a struggle for breath, worn out by hurtful words and giving everything without reciprocation.
I gave everything I had but where were you, where the fuck were you
Expressing frustration and disappointment about giving all but receiving no support or presence.
