Lyrics
This broken back and heavy boots of mine
This refers to physical exhaustion and the weight of responsibilities.
I've got something on my mind that won't go away, oh no
The singer has a persistent concern or issue troubling their mind.
I can't find the remedy
Despite searching, a solution to the problem is elusive.
Spittin' venom with your vicious tongue
Describes someone using hurtful words aggressively.
Projecting poison from your mouth
Continuation of verbal aggression, projecting negativity.
I'm done, I'm sitting this one out
The singer decides to disengage from the conflict.
I'm gone, au revoir, so long and
An emphatic farewell, expressing a desire to move on.
I've got these marks on my lips
Physical or metaphorical marks resulting from the conflict.
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Suggests a plan to confront and overcome challenges.
Dissipate my boiling blood
Attempting to calm intense emotions.
A conglomerate of drawbacks
List of various problems causing paralysis and distress.
Has got my paralyzed and choking on my own tongue
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to speak due to challenges.
Dammed up that rushing river flow
Metaphor for blocking the flow of ideas or creativity.
Stifling everything that I know, for now
Suppressing one's knowledge temporarily.
The clock is ticking down and I
The urgency of time and inability to control thoughts.
Can't control these rampant thoughts of mine
Thoughts contaminated by the negativity of others.
Polluted with your grime
Being affected by the negativity of someone else.
This time, I'm done, I can't hold on
Deciding to let go due to overwhelming circumstances.
I've been biting down for far too long and
Enduring pain for too long and deciding to release it.
I've got these holes in my lips
More marks or wounds, possibly from enduring negativity.
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Reiterating the plan to confront challenges head-on.
Dissipate my boiling blood
Reiterating the need to calm intense emotions.
A conglomerate of drawbacks
Repetition of various problems causing paralysis and distress.
Has got my paralyzed and choking on my own
Continued feeling of being overwhelmed and silenced.
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Reiterating the plan to confront challenges once again.
I can't handle all of the smog
Feeling overwhelmed by the negativity and its effects.
You're spilling into my lungs
Physical intrusion of negativity affecting the singer.
Dissatisfied and choking on my own tongue
Expressing dissatisfaction and continued difficulty in speaking.
Patience and respiration won't do me no good
Traditional coping methods are ineffective.
I try to remember every skipping stone must sink
Using the metaphor of skipping stones to convey life's challenges.
And it's from this misunderstanding I could
Acknowledging the potential for misunderstanding in life.
Flush all the poisonous blood out from underneath my skin
Expressing a desire to cleanse oneself from negativity.
Patience and respiration won't do me no good
Reiteration that patience and breathing won't help.
I try to remember every skipping stone must sink
Repetition of the idea that challenges must be faced.
And it's from this misunderstanding I could
Reiterating the potential for misunderstanding in life.
Flush all the poisonous blood out from underneath my skin
Repeating the desire to cleanse oneself from negativity.
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Reiterating the plan to confront and overcome challenges.
Dissipate my boiling blood
Reiterating the need to calm intense emotions.
A conglomerate of drawbacks
Repetition of various problems causing paralysis and distress.
Has got my paralyzed and choking on my own
Continued feeling of being overwhelmed and silenced.
We'll detonate the smokestacks
Reiterating the plan to confront challenges once again.
I can't handle all of the smog
Feeling overwhelmed by the negativity and its effects.
You're spilling into my lungs
Physical intrusion of negativity affecting the singer.
Dissatisfied and choking on my own tongue
Expressing dissatisfaction and continued difficulty in speaking.
