A Descent into Existential Struggle: 666 by John Frusciante
Lyrics
Something these days in the air
There is a certain atmosphere or vibe present in current times.
I'm afraid to sing this song
Expressing hesitation or fear about expressing the content of the song.
â??Cause no one answers me
Feeling ignored or unanswered by others.
Got in the way of this one chance of mine
Missed an opportunity due to interference or obstacles.
I threw it back
Rejected or let go of the opportunity.
It wasn't gonna last
Realization that the opportunity wasn't meant to be long-lasting.
I jumped ahead
Acted impulsively or moved forward quickly.
There was a slipstream
Reference to a flow of events or circumstances.
One good feeling there
Experiencing a positive emotion in the midst of challenges.
I got out quick
Exited the situation promptly.
Lower than I go
Feeling emotionally low or down.
I'm a pinball
Metaphorically likened to a pinball, bouncing through various experiences.
Sticking through a lot
Facing and enduring challenges.
Then down the side wall
Metaphor for hitting an obstacle or reaching a low point.
The drop
Emphasizing a significant decline or negative event.
The drop
Repetition for emphasis on the previous line.
I must have been alone
Reflecting on a period of solitude.
In the mean time
During this time of solitude.
Nothing comes my way
Experiencing a lack of opportunities or positive occurrences.
I'm proud to say
Expressing pride in overcoming challenges or difficulties.
I crossed a line
Crossing a personal boundary or limit.
I said goodbye
Bidding farewell to a situation or person.
This state to recreate
Recreating a particular emotional state.
Is the drain of time
Time passing as an emotional drain.
I lead you on
Leading someone on emotionally.
There were no days to wait for
No waiting for better days.
No carrying on
No prolonging or continuing certain actions.
Life's still a disease
Life is portrayed as a challenging condition or struggle.
Help it along
Encouraging proactive engagement with life's challenges.
It's a sure thing
Expressing certainty or inevitability.
Everyone I meet is a laughing star
People encountered are metaphorically described as shining or laughing stars.
Who dropped
Repetition for emphasis on the previous line.
Who dropped
-You all should walk through a poster
Suggesting a surreal or altered perception of reality.
You should see how things align
Encouraging a different perspective on how events align.
Change how you see a decline
Encouraging a change in perception of decline or negative situations.
See how high you really climb
Encouraging recognition of personal growth or achievements.
See how high you really climb
Repetition for emphasis on the previous line.
See how high you really climb
-The drop
Reiterating a significant decline or negative event.
The drop
Repetition for emphasis on the previous line.
