Lyrics
First thing's first. Can't open up this bottle of prescription
Struggling to open a prescription bottle, indicating a reliance on medication.
But I'm pounding bottles, pushing throttles, it's my mission
Engaging in self-destructive behavior and risky pursuits as a personal mission.
Tenth grade, new car, and a fam that reached division
Experiencing a significant life change in tenth grade, with family division and a new car.
Just a lonely life. No dreams of wife or true ambition
Leading a lonely life without aspirations for marriage or true ambition.
Just a fan of fission. Calling my mother cuss words
Expressing frustration by using offensive language towards the speaker's mother.
Almost throwing punches, losing lunches due to mustards
Feeling agitated to the point of almost resorting to physical violence, possibly due to stress.
Couldn't ever ketchup. At least that's what I thought
Struggling to catch up or progress in life, as suggested by the play on words with "ketchup."
Cause now I see the present only bears the gifts I brought
Realizing that the present is shaped by one's own actions and contributions.
Now please
An appeal or request for understanding.
Just don't go far
Asking someone not to distance themselves, indicating a fear of abandonment.
I'm so lost I'm found, but no cigar
Feeling simultaneously lost and found but without achieving a significant accomplishment.
All these growing pains
Expressing the challenges and difficulties experienced during personal growth.
My how they missed me
A sarcastic acknowledgment of being missed during difficult times.
You know I'm yours
Claiming ownership or commitment in a relationship.
(You know, you know. You know, you know)
A repetitive affirmation of mutual understanding or shared knowledge.
Trapped in this room, twenty one, my wife says I'm the one
Feeling trapped at the age of twenty-one, working at Chipotle, and avoiding sunlight.
But I'm working at Chipotle and hiding from the sun
Expressing regret about life decisions influenced by fear and lack of vision.
My decisions all feel dumb. Necessitated by blind fear
Making a vocal commitment to perseverance despite internal doubts.
"I'm never giving up," I say just so they all hear
Reiterating determination to not give up in the face of challenges.
And just so we're all clear, I'm never giving up
A strong affirmation of the speaker's commitment to never surrender.
I'm never giving up. I'm never giving up. Enough's enough
Emphasizing a refusal to yield or give up, reinforcing the resolve to persist.
And I'm hoping you call my bluff so I'll finally fucking do shit
Expressing a desire for someone to challenge the speaker's commitment to action.
But I know it's up to me to grow up and fucking do shit
Recognizing personal responsibility for growth and taking initiative.
Now please
