Swallowing Sadness: The Mouth of Madness
Lyrics
So uninviting
Expressing a lack of appeal or welcoming atmosphere.
Don't try fighting
Advising against resistance or opposition.
Every second you spend howling at the moon
Discouraging spending time on futile activities or pursuits.
You better stay unspoken
Suggesting to remain silent or not express certain feelings.
Or just keep choking
Implying that allowing negativity to prevail is self-destructive.
You always let the poison get the best of you
Highlighting the tendency to succumb to harmful influences.
In this mouth of madness
Referring to a state of extreme confusion or insanity.
You cannot be the only one
Suggesting shared experiences in the chaos of madness.
You can't swallow your sadness
Encouraging the suppression of sorrow until a positive change occurs.
Until you swallow the sun
Metaphorically advising overcoming darkness with a positive force.
Should have told me
Expressing regret for not being warned about potential loneliness.
It would be that lonely
Acknowledging the feeling of isolation and solitude.
Should have led me to the water and made me drink
Suggesting guidance and encouragement to face challenges.
It's appetizing
Describing something as appealing or attractive.
Just realizing
Realizing a situation and its potential consequences.
You're only upon luck until you let it sink
Stating that luck is fleeting and can be lost easily.
Now you're medication
Describing oneself as a form of remedy or relief.
Just a proclamation
Declaring one's existence or importance based on thoughts.
You're only as big as the largest thought you'd think
Emphasizing the impact of significant thoughts on one's identity.
In this mouth of madness
Reiterating the chaotic state of madness mentioned earlier.
You cannot be the only one
Reinforcing the idea of shared experiences in madness.
You can't swallow your sadness
Repeating the advice to endure sadness until positive change.
Until you swallow the sun
Reiterating the metaphor of overcoming darkness with positivity.
This will all be (all be) over (over)
Expressing the transient nature of difficulties and challenges.
Soon (soon) very soon (so soon)
-This will all be (all be) over (over)
-Soon (soon) so soon (so soon)
-This will all be (all be) over (over)
-Soon (soon) so soon (so soon)
-If you swallow the sun you've gotta' deal with the moon
Warning about the consequences of embracing positivity.
In this mouth of madness
Revisiting the concept of madness and shared experiences.
You cannot be the only one
Re-emphasizing the idea of not being alone in madness.
You can't swallow your sadness
Reiterating the advice to endure sadness for a positive outcome.
Until you swallow the sun, yeah
Summarizing the metaphor of overcoming darkness with positivity.
