For Life
Eternal Struggles: Dominic DeLaney's 'For Life' Chronicles a Journey Beyond Redemption
Lyrics
Oh no, no
Expressing concern or disappointment
Well I've done it again
Acknowledging a repeated mistake
I'm so fucked up I can hardly stand
Describing intense emotional distress
I drank too much
Admitting to excessive alcohol consumption
Time to call up a friend
Deciding to seek assistance from a friend
Maybe they can drive me home
Suggesting the friend could help by driving
I'm not doing this for a living
Clarifying the motivation behind actions
I'm doing this for life
Emphasizing a long-term commitment
Wave goodbye my whiskey
Bidding farewell to whiskey, indicating a change
And those long, long, cocaine nights
Referencing past nights filled with cocaine
Oh no, no
Repeating a sense of regret or disappointment
Well I've done it again
Acknowledging a recurring pattern of behavior
The blood from my nose laid out on my hands
Describing a physical consequence of actions
Nobody knows
Highlighting a hidden aspect of the situation
And nobody can
Suggesting secrecy or isolation
Maybe I can walk this off
Contemplating the possibility of walking off the situation
I'm not doing this for a living
Reiterating the motivation for actions
I'm doing this for life
Committing to the chosen lifestyle
Wave goodbye my whiskey
Saying goodbye to whiskey again
And those long, long, cocaine nights
Recalling previous nights filled with cocaine
I'm not doing this for a living
Re-emphasizing the long-term commitment
I'm doing this for life
Repeating the dedication to a certain way of life
Wave goodbye my whiskey
Once again bidding farewell to whiskey
And those long, long, cocaine nights
Reiterating past experiences with cocaine
Damn, damn, damn
Expressing frustration or disappointment
This fucks up my plan
Describing a disruption to a plan
I said I'd go to Europe but they don't understand
Explaining a misunderstanding or lack of comprehension
If I can sober
Expressing the challenge of becoming sober
Well then anyone can
Asserting that anyone can achieve sobriety
Maybe we can get some help
Suggesting the possibility of seeking help
I'm not doing this for a living
Reiterating the underlying motivation
I'm doing this for life
Affirming the commitment to a certain lifestyle
Wave goodbye my whiskey
Bidding farewell to whiskey once more
And those long, long, cocaine nights
Recalling past nights involving cocaine
I'm not doing this for a living
Reiterating the dedication to a lifelong choice
I'm doing this for life
Stating the commitment to a certain way of life
(For Life!)
Emphasizing the dedication with "For Life!"
Wave goodbye my whiskey
Once again bidding farewell to whiskey
And those long, long, cocaine nights
Reiterating the association with long nights of cocaine
