Lyrics

Today I woke up in a tiny plastic cup

Waking up in a confined and seemingly insignificant situation, represented by a "tiny plastic cup."

Spiders in my hair, crawling everywhere

Feeling overwhelmed and invaded, possibly by life's challenges symbolized as spiders.

In my mouth, behind my eyes, keep me warm inside

Experiencing internal struggles and seeking comfort within oneself.

Flown here on my back, this is my hiding place

Metaphorically arriving at a personal refuge, possibly to escape from external pressures.


Let the world never see all the strange sides of me

Desiring to hide unconventional aspects of oneself from the world.

And it's so believable, I'm bad and bad is good

Reflecting on societal perceptions of good and bad, suggesting a rebellious attitude.

If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover

Embracing a lifestyle associated with excess and consequences, likened to the aftermath of drugs and alcohol.


The priests all had been buried in concrete

Commenting on religious figures, possibly implying their burial in concrete symbolizes their rigidity or unresponsiveness.

I confessed my sins to clowns and buildings in the ground

Confessing sins to unconventional entities, highlighting a departure from traditional forms of repentance.

I found a mistake in the way that we were made

Recognizing a flaw or error in the way humans are created or how society functions.

A dress up party at my house where I'll be someone else

Expressing a desire for escapism through a dress-up party, adopting different personas.


Let the world never see all the strange sides of me

Reiterating the theme of hiding one's true self from the world.

And it's so believable, I'm bad and bad is good

Challenging societal norms by embracing a perceived "bad" identity.

If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover

Associating oneself with the negative consequences of substance abuse, accepting them as part of the rebellious lifestyle.

And we're so original, I'm bad and bad is good

Asserting individuality and nonconformity.

If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover

Reiterating the connection between the persona and the negative effects of drugs and alcohol.


Drive fire engines through the desert and the rain

Embarking on daring and possibly destructive endeavors, symbolized by driving fire engines through challenging environments.

I'll search the shipwrecks in the ocean for a flame

Searching for passion or meaning in life, even in difficult circumstances.

Never caught a sickness that didn't list me as a friend

Claiming resilience to illnesses or difficulties that typically befriend others.

Never made a friendship that didn't kill me in the end

Highlighting the destructive nature of friendships and connections.


Let the world never see all the strange sides of me

Repeating the theme of concealing unconventional aspects of the self.

And it's so believable, I'm bad and bad is good

Continuing to challenge societal norms and expectations.

If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover

Reiterating the association with the negative consequences of substance abuse.


And we're so original, I'm bad and bad is good

Emphasizing uniqueness and nonconformity.

If you're drugs and alcohol then I'll be the hangover

Repeating the connection between the persona and the negative effects of drugs and alcohol.

I'll be the hangover

Affirming the persona's role as the aftermath or consequence of a hedonistic lifestyle.
