Fever Dreams
Unveiling Desperation: Johnny Booth's Fever Dreams Decoded
Lyrics
I’m breathing the infection
I am experiencing the effects of a harmful influence or corruption.
Seeking out the storm overhead
Actively searching for a challenging or turbulent situation.
Weeding out the senseless
Eliminating things that lack meaning or purpose.
Getting closer, always closer
Approaching something or someone with increasing proximity.
I watched them all set the fire
Observing others ignite a conflict or destructive event.
You’re on your own
Facing a situation alone.
In a fever dream, a shadow you follow
In a state of intense imagination, following a shadow.
You’re always preaching to the worst of us all
Consistently advising or admonishing the most morally compromised individuals.
You’re always preaching at our backs
Continually lecturing without regard, especially when people turn away.
We’re swinging for the fences
Engaging in high-risk endeavors or pursuing ambitious goals.
Crossing his name off of the list
Removing someone's name from a list, possibly signifying a form of retribution.
Feeding into tension
Contributing to a state of unease or strain.
Getting closer, always closer
Approaching something or someone with increasing proximity (repeated).
Raise the flag
Raising a symbol of identity or allegiance.
Witness how they kneel
Observing how others submit or yield, possibly in a negative context.
I will claim
Asserting ownership over every instance of remorse or guilt.
Every last piece of regret
Claiming responsibility for and acknowledging all regrets.

I’ll beg right when the floor bottoms out
Expressing a willingness to plead or request assistance in a crisis.
We still race to just take it
Continuing to compete eagerly, even when the situation becomes difficult.
When the ink starts to fade
Starting anew when the evidence or impact of past actions diminishes.
Start it all over
Restarting a process or situation when it begins to fade or lose significance.
When the ink starts to fade
Restarting a process or situation when it begins to fade or lose significance (repeated).
We’re going backwards
Regressing or moving backward in progress or development.
Following what is false
Following false beliefs or ideals.
Spreading across what’s ours
Spreading over what rightfully belongs to us.
It’s ours
Emphasizing ownership or possession of something.
Filling the desperate hearts
Filling the hearts of those in desperate need.
I’m getting closer
Approaching something or someone with increasing proximity (repeated).
