Ethanol
Intoxicating Confessions: Ethanol's Dance with Truth
Lyrics
Never really sure if I could cut loose
Expressing uncertainty about the ability to let go or be carefree.
Spending half my life looking for lost youth
Spent a significant portion of life searching for lost youth.
Feeling like I’m hollow, am I see through?
Feeling empty and questioning personal transparency.
Nothing fills the chasm, boy, like you do
Acknowledging that a particular person fills a void in the speaker's life.
Black or silver mirror, what’s the difference?
Questioning the significance of choices, comparing black and silver mirrors.
We’ll pedestal ourselves until it kills us
Describing a self-destructive behavior of putting oneself on a pedestal.
Sacrifice integrity for algos
Choosing algorithms over integrity, possibly reflecting a societal trend.
While conversation’s running to a standstill
Noticing a lack of meaningful conversation leading to a standstill.
Why do you only say what’s on your mind
Questioning someone's selective honesty, especially when influenced by ethanol.
When the ethanol takes over?
Highlighting the impact of ethanol on inhibitions and truthfulness.
’til then you’re acting like another
Suggesting a change in behavior when influenced by ethanol.
Why does it only feel like you’re living a lie
Expressing a sense of falsehood or pretense before the influence of ethanol.
Before the ethanol takes over?
Anticipating a shift in authenticity when ethanol takes control.
You got me wishing I was stone cold sober
Expressing a desire for sobriety when influenced by a particular person.
Stone cold sober
Reiterating a wish to be completely sober.
You’re moonlighting as something super special
Suggesting that someone is pretending to be extraordinary.
But I don’t believe a word of which you tell them
Expressing skepticism and disbelief in someone's words.
I haven’t really laughed like that in months now
Not having genuine laughter for an extended period.
Every day’s an up-and-coming comedown
Every day feels like a letdown or disappointment.
I can’t decipher anybody’s feelings
Expressing difficulty in understanding others' emotions.
I’m never really sure if I’ll be leaving
Uncertain about staying or leaving in various situations.
One foot out the door, one off the damn room
Being torn between staying and leaving, with a reference to a new tattoo.
Remember who I was as a new tattoo
Remembering one's identity as if it were a permanent mark like a tattoo.
Why do you only say what’s on your mind
Repeating the question about selective honesty, emphasizing the influence of ethanol.
When the ethanol takes over?
Reiterating the impact of ethanol on communication and expression.
’til then you’re acting like another
Continuing the theme of changed behavior under the influence of ethanol.
Why does it only feel like you’re living a lie
Expressing a sense of falsehood or pretense before the influence of ethanol.
Before the ethanol takes over?
Anticipating a shift in authenticity when ethanol takes control.
You got me wishing I was stone cold sober
Expressing a desire for sobriety when influenced by a particular person.
Stone cold sober
Reiterating a wish to be completely sober.
