Lyrics
When I wake up take my first breath of the day
Beginning of the day, starting with a breath, sets the tone
It tastes of rancid, rotten, bitter, decay
Life's initial experiences are unpleasant, marked by decay
It seems clear that the walls are closing in
Feeling trapped or overwhelmed, a sense of confinement
And even friends are enemies
Trust issues, friends are perceived as adversaries
When I wake up take my first breath of the day
Repetition of the morning ritual, emphasizing routine
Best intentions are quickly laid to waste
Good intentions are futile, easily thwarted
It seems clear that the walls are closing in
Continued sense of pressure and enclosure
And I keep on playing the game
Ongoing participation in a challenging and perhaps deceptive situation
Poison in, poison out
Repetition of poison theme, negative influences
That's what you offer
Commentary on what is being offered—negativity or toxicity
And I keep on drinking
Continued engagement despite awareness of negative consequences
Suffer this, suffer that
Suffering is a constant, and it is accepted as part of life
You can't deny the drama we're all
Acknowledgment of the drama and challenges everyone faces
Seeking
Common pursuit or struggle shared by all
And in the darkness it finds me, doesn't matter if I
Darkness symbolizes challenges, regardless of attempts to escape
Try to get away. And in the darkness it finds me tries
Resistance against external forces trying to influence the spirit
To drag my spirit away. You can't take the fight out of me
Inner strength despite adversity, refusal to succumb
Try to run but the wolves are at my heels
Attempting to avoid problems, but challenges persist
Their teeth so sharp this metaphor cuts so real
Metaphorical threat represented by pursuing wolves
I won't die from my gaping open wounds
Determination to survive despite significant wounds
The infection you can't see that's killing you
Invisible challenges that are harmful and detrimental
Try to run but the wolves are at my heels
Continued efforts to escape, facing relentless opposition
Ravenous, hungry, raging at full tilt
Description of pursuing forces as intense and fierce
I won't die from my open gaping wounds
Perseverance and resilience in the face of severe wounds
And I'll grow stronger then all of you
Overcoming challenges and emerging stronger than adversaries
