Eat Shit and Die
Edge of Desolation: Unraveling the Dark Tapestry in Electric President's 'Eat Shit and Die'
Lyrics
We sat on the edge of the world and tossed things off
Contemplating existence and discarding things casually
Said nothing and had no need to
Comfortable silence without the need for words
Our bloody handprints smeared the refuge
Leaving marks of chaos or destruction in a place of shelter
And I don't think I knew at the time
Unaware of the imminent departure before establishing a connection
That I'd be gone before I knew your name
A realization that departure would precede getting to know someone deeply
But it didn't matter much in the end
The eventual departure didn’t hold significance
'cause it all burned down
All things eventually met destruction
I was made to throw stones and darken doorways
Disposed to causing trouble and causing relationships to fail
To burn bridges, then fall and sleep it off
Intentionally damaging connections and recovering after
Those blank eyes can't read me
Feeling misunderstood or not seen accurately
The more I sink, I'm free
Discovering freedom in sinking or deteriorating mentally/emotionally
To wreck them as I please
Having the freedom to destroy or harm others at will
A big heart's an easy target
Being vulnerable makes one an easy target
So cash your karma in
Suggesting to cash in on the consequences of one's actions
Because you're never gonna be like them
Assurance that one won’t conform to societal norms
No matter how
No matter the circumstances
Lay me down, pull my hopes from out my mouth
Feeling overwhelmed, hoping for a release
And with a little bit of luck
Optimistically leaving behind uncertainties
I'll leave behind all them doubts
Aspiring to overcome self-doubt
I need to keep my feet from leaving the ground
Striving to stay grounded and not lose touch with reality
'cause it's breaking me
Emotional distress caused by a situation
