Smoke
Haunted by the Smoke: Justin Warnick's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Clear my head I can't focus now
Expressing difficulty in concentration and a need to clear the mind.
It's taking all my attention
An external force or issue demands attention, diverting focus.
I can't see I can't breathe no more
Feeling overwhelmed and constrained, struggling to see and breathe.
It feels like I've done this to myself
Suggesting self-inflicted consequences, possibly regret or guilt.
I'm alone again
Repetition emphasizes a sense of solitude and isolation.
I'm alone again
-I can't get your smoke out of my head
Unable to forget or escape someone's influence, metaphorically represented as "smoke."
Don't know why I ever thought I would like it
Questioning previous expectations about the influence of the mentioned "smoke."
I know that even though you've said it a thousand times
Acknowledging repeated warnings or advice.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Recognizing the danger of playing with a metaphorical "weapon" (the influence).
I can't get your smoke out of my head
Continued struggle to free oneself from the mental impact of the "smoke."
Sometimes I don't bother to fight it
Choosing not to resist the influence, accepting the impact.
I left my mind and my sanity all behind
Metaphorically leaving behind reason and stability.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Reiterating the danger of playing with the metaphorical "weapon."
Should be picking up where we left off
Expressing a desire to resume a previous state of affairs.
Not cleaning up after you
Frustration with cleaning up after someone, possibly metaphorical mess.
Im throwing out everything I own
Discarding personal belongings due to the overwhelming influence of "smoke."
But your smoke has taken over
Highlighting the pervasive nature of the "smoke" in taking control.
I'm alone again
Emphasizing recurring feelings of isolation.
I'm alone again
-I can't get your smoke out of my head
Repetition of the struggle to escape the mental impact of the "smoke."
Don't know why I ever thought I would like it
Reiterating confusion and questioning previous attraction to the "smoke."
I know that even though you've said it a thousand times
Acknowledging repeated warnings about the consequences.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Stressing the importance of heeding advice about the metaphorical "weapon."
I can't get your smoke out of my head
Continued struggle to resist the impact of the "smoke."
Sometimes I don't bother to fight it
Choosing at times not to resist, accepting the influence.
I left my mind and my sanity all behind
Metaphorically abandoning rational thought and stability.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Reiterating the danger of engaging with the metaphorical "weapon."
I can't get your smoke out of my head
Repetition of the struggle, questioning previous attraction to the "smoke."
Don't know why I ever thought I would like it
Reiterating confusion and questioning previous attraction to the "smoke."
I know that even though you've said it a thousand times
Acknowledging repeated warnings about the consequences.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Stressing the importance of heeding advice about the metaphorical "weapon."
I can't get your smoke out of my head
Continued struggle to resist the impact of the "smoke."
Don't know why I ever thought I would like it
Choosing at times not to resist, accepting the influence.
I know that even though you've said it a thousand times
Metaphorically abandoning rational thought and stability.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Reiterating the danger of engaging with the metaphorical "weapon."
I can't get your smoke out of my head
Continued struggle to free oneself from the mental impact of the "smoke."
Sometimes I don't bother to fight it
Choosing not to resist the influence, accepting the impact.
I left my mind and my sanity all behind
Metaphorically leaving behind reason and stability.
I should listen not to play with a weapon
Emphasizing the importance of heeding advice about the metaphorical "weapon."
