Cocaine
Unveiling the Depths of Concealment
Lyrics
Read a letter from you today,
Received a letter from someone today.
In short it said that you've been so far away,
The letter indicates that the person has been distant or absent.
It said where you've been, what's been on your mind,
The letter details where the person has been and what's on their mind.
It makes you feel so much better when there's something to hide,
Having secrets or things to hide provides a sense of relief.
You're shifting blame again,
The person is deflecting responsibility onto others.
Lie to yourself about it,
The person is engaging in self-deception.
Pretend your life is sane,
Pretending that life is normal or rational.
Basking in faded glory,
Living in the past, reveling in past glories.
The world forgets your name,
The world is forgetting or ignoring the person's identity.
Move on from there, get up and go on,
Encouraging the person to move on and progress.
Wait any longer you'll be stuck where you are,
Delaying progress may result in being stuck.
Leave all your things, clean up your face,
Leave behind the past, clean up and face the consequences.
The scars of the past are the dust that remain in the way,
The scars of past actions hinder progress.
Stop shifting blame again,
A repetition of avoiding responsibility.
Lie to yourself about it,
Continuing self-deception.
Pretend your life is sane,
Pretending that life is rational and normal.
Basking in faded glory,
Living in past glories while the world forgets.
The world forgets your name,
The world is ignoring or forgetting the person.
How could it be that you sunk down so low?
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the person's low point.
Word around town is you got no place to go,
Rumors suggest the person has no direction or purpose.
Your story's got a crack and you got no one to follow,
The person's story has flaws, and there's no one to look up to.
I couldn't care less,
Indifference to the person's situation.
Lie to yourself about it,
Continued self-deception despite awareness.
Pretend your life is sane,
Pretending that life is rational and normal.
Basking in faded glory,
Living in past glories while the world forgets.
The world forgets your name,
The world is ignoring or forgetting the person.
Cry to yourself about it,
The person is now expressing internal distress.
Drive all your friends insane,
The person's actions are causing frustration or annoyance in others.
You failed to prove your story,
The person has failed to substantiate their narrative.
I will forget your name.
Expressing a willingness to forget or disregard the person.
