Stay Awake
Breaking Free: Battling Dependency Through 'Stay Awake'
Lyrics
STAY AWAKE
Encouragement to remain alert and conscious.
So long Tramadol, we knew you well
Referencing the departure from the drug Tramadol, acknowledging familiarity.
Slow crawl above it all, how we fell
Describing a slow descent or decline from a higher state or position.
Three little lines a kiss, goodbye never again
Symbolizing the abandonment of an addictive habit with finality.
Oh my sweet dependency, this is the end
Acknowledging the end of reliance on something or someone.
Bitter drips of happiness, it overwhelms
Contrasting emotions - experiencing happiness alongside bitterness.
Let me go and take control, your hands at the helm
Desire to break free and take charge of one's own direction.
We never liked to talk about our little crimes
Admission of hidden or suppressed wrongdoings.
To you, my sweet goodnight
Addressing a parting moment, bidding farewell or goodnight.
Hold my head upright
Seeking support or reassurance to remain upright or strong.
It just ain't sane keeping you around
Expressing the belief that keeping something harmful is irrational.
Sit and drown without a sound
Describing a suffocating feeling or situation without outward expression.
I can't hang around this place no more
Expressing a desire to depart from a current situation or circumstance.
You wear me out, you bring me down
Attributing exhaustion and a negative emotional state to a specific influence.
Stay awake, until the morning comes
Encouragement to persist and remain awake until a new day arrives.
Rings of light and narrow sights take a seat
Describing a setting with limited perspectives or horizons.
It's best to keep the music loud and tap our feet
Suggesting coping mechanisms, such as loud music and distraction.
Lay your head and wake up dead, tonight we stay alive
Acceptance of mortality while choosing to live fully in the present moment.
Dance our way through death and daze, and maybe we survive
Hopeful outlook on survival despite facing peril or uncertainty.
Everything is different when you're waiting for the light
Highlighting the altered perspective during moments of anticipation.
Make it through the night with you and then I'll hold you tight
Expressing a commitment to endure the night together.
But when my gut is empty and my vision is renewed
Describing a state of renewed clarity and purpose.
I'll walk away from you
Decisive action to move away from a situation or influence.
I will not die with you
Asserting a refusal to succumb or be negatively affected.
It just ain't sane keeping you around
Reiteration of the irrationality of keeping a detrimental influence.
Sit and drown without a sound
Describing a feeling of suffocation without outward expression.
I can't hang around this place no more
Expressing a desire to depart from a current situation or circumstance.
You wear me out you bring me down
Attributing exhaustion and a negative emotional state to a specific influence.
Stay awake, until the morning comes
Encouragement to persist and remain awake until a new day arrives.
