Ain't Good for Me
Navigating Shadows: Frost Koffin's Tale of Temptation
Lyrics
How the past will pull you under
The past has a strong pull that can drag you down.
These broken bottles only fuel my hunger
Broken bottles serve as a metaphor for destructive behavior that intensifies the desire for more.
And if tomorrow ends up like today
Expecting tomorrow to be similar to today.
I know that this old life will find a way
Even in familiar patterns, the old ways of life find a means to persist.
You don’t have to
There’s no need to push me.
Force my hand into a bad mistake
Refusing to be coerced into making a harmful decision.
Don’t tell me twice I’ve felt this vice
Experiencing this kind of situation repeatedly.
And I won’t hesitate
Resolute in not delaying or second-guessing.
There ain’t no difference between wants and needs
No distinction exists between desires and necessities.
Because what I want well it ain’t good
What I desire isn’t beneficial.
It ain’t good for me
Emphasizing that the desired thing isn't good for personal well-being.
Well people think this life’s a curse
Common perception considers this life negative.
But hell believe me it could be much worse
However, it could actually be worse than perceived.
Bottom of this glass reflecting like a mirror
The reflection in the glass at the bottom symbolizes introspection and self-awareness.
Another bottle calling pulls me in much deeper
The allure of another bottle pulls one deeper into a problematic cycle.
You don’t have to
Reiterating the lack of necessity for external pressure.
Force my hand into a bad mistake
Refusing to be coerced into making a harmful decision (repeated from line 6).
Don’t tell me twice I’ve felt this vice
Reaffirming familiarity with this kind of situation (repeated from line 7).
And I won’t hesitate
Stating determination not to delay or second-guess (repeated from line 8).
There ain’t no difference between wants and needs
Reiterating the lack of distinction between wants and needs (repeated from line 9).
Because what I want well it ain’t good
Reemphasizing that the desired thing isn’t beneficial (repeated from line 10).
It ain’t good for me
Stressing again that the desired thing isn’t good for personal well-being (repeated from line 11).
