ROCK BOTTOM
Rock Bottom: A Journey Through Self-Destruction
Lyrics
Watch your step
Cautionary advice to be careful or mindful of actions.
Nobody knows just what happens next
Uncertainty about the future and its unpredictability.
Carefully
An urging to proceed with care and attention.
Building my world like my destiny
Building one's life and future, shaping destiny.
Never gonna feel right
A sense of perpetual unease or dissatisfaction.
Everybody just wants more
A desire for more, possibly linked to societal expectations.
Never space in my mind
No mental space for oneself due to external pressures.
Wishing life was like before
Nostalgia for a time when life felt better.
So I smile and wait for the flash
Putting on a façade and waiting for attention or validation.
They stand outside my place 'til the sun rises
Observers lingering outside, anticipating a noteworthy event.
Won't say it to my face but they're waiting for the sound
Anticipation of criticism or negativity without direct confrontation.
So loud
The impact of the awaited event is profound and loud.
And everybody knows I'm self destructive
Acknowledgment of self-destructive tendencies.
So steady 'til it blows and they watch me falling down
Stability until a breaking point, observed by others.
You'll hear about it when I hit rock bottom
An imminent fall to a low point in life.
Far below
Reinforcing the depth and severity of hitting rock bottom.
Secrets nobody should ever know
Reference to hidden, possibly painful, secrets.
Quietly
Reflecting on the loss of personal privacy.
What ever happened to privacy?
Ruminating on the disappearance of privacy in life.
Always on the edge cause
Living on the edge due to external demands for more.
Everybody just wants more
Continued societal pressure to meet increasing expectations.
Forget what I once was
Forgetting or losing one's previous identity.
Wishing life was like before
Longing for a past, simpler, and happier life.
So I break and wait for the crash
Anticipating and waiting for a destructive event.
They stand outside my place 'til the sun rises
Observers waiting outside for the aftermath until morning.
Won't say it to my face but they're waiting for the sound
Anticipated negative reactions not directly communicated.
So loud
The expected event is loud and attention-grabbing.
And everybody knows I'm self destructive
Recognition of a self-destructive nature known to all.
So steady 'til it blows and they watch me falling down
Maintaining stability until the inevitable downfall.
You'll hear about it when I hit rock bottom
An assurance that the fall to rock bottom will be known.
I lost myself on the highways
Feeling lost and disconnected during journeys in life.
This city's never gonna love you back anyways
A realization that the city may not reciprocate love.
Just couldn't take the pressure
Unable to cope with external pressures.
No feeling lasts forever
Recognition that emotions and situations are temporary.
I lost my self on the highways
Reiteration of feeling lost in life's journeys.
This city's never gonna love you back anyways
Reiteration of the city's lack of reciprocal love.
Just couldn't take the pressure
Admitting inability to handle external pressures.
No feeling is forever
Acceptance that no emotional state is permanent.
They stand outside my place 'til the sun rises
Observers waiting for the fallout until sunrise.
Won't say it to my face but they're waiting for the sound
Anticipation of negative reactions not expressed directly.
So loud
The expected event is loud and attention-grabbing.
And everybody knows I'm self destructive
Recognition of a self-destructive nature known to all.
So steady 'til it blows and they watch me falling down
Maintaining stability until the inevitable downfall.
You'll hear about it when I hit rock bottom
An assurance that the fall to rock bottom will be known.
You'll hear about it when I hit rock bottom
An echo, emphasizing the inevitability of hitting rock bottom.
