Nicotine
Veil of Smoke: Embracing the Bittersweet Symphony of Addiction
Lyrics
Through this veil of smoke
Amidst a cloud of smoke
A new day arises
A new day begins
A day of hope
A day filled with optimism
A day of despair
A day marked by despair
Where new ideals are fought and trials come to err
Where new ideas are contested and challenges arise
Through this veil of smoke
Amidst a cloud of smoke (repeated)
I come to ends with myself
Coming to terms with one's own identity
This new addiction where has it spawned
Questioning the origin of a new addiction
From where I watch myself die
Observing oneself deteriorate from addiction
Where I watch you from afar
Observing others from a distance
This strange addiction we all love to live
Describing a peculiar addiction shared by all
To hold it and cherish it until it all comes to a close
Embracing and valuing the addiction until its conclusion
Through this veil of smoke
Amidst a cloud of smoke (repeated)
I come to ends with myself
Coming to terms with one's own identity (repeated)
Not knowing where I'm going
Feeling lost about one's direction
Not knowing how this will end
Uncertain about how the situation will unfold
To hold it and cherish it until it all comes to a close
Valuing and cherishing the addiction until its conclusion (repeated)
To hold it and cherish it this systematic suicide we all love
Valuing and cherishing a systematic self-destructive behavior
To live this systematic suicide we all love to live
Choosing to live a self-destructive lifestyle willingly
Until it all comes to a close
Continuing until the inevitable end
Like it always does
Referencing the cyclical nature of the addictive behavior and its conclusion
