Wasted Days
Wasted Days: Battling Demons in the Cold Streets
Lyrics
They always seem to kick me when I'm down
Experiencing repeated challenges or setbacks when already feeling low.
What a way for them to tell me I'm worth nothing more than dirt on the ground
Feeling devalued, equated to being worth nothing more than dirt on the ground.
Just pull the chair from underneath my feet and throw me out into the cold streets
Metaphorically being abandoned and left vulnerable in a harsh environment.
They say some things are better left unsaid
Advising that some information is intentionally kept unsaid for emotional protection.
To know the truth would be too much for me to comprehend
Fearing that knowing the truth would be emotionally overwhelming.
Force fed to believe there's something more for me
Being forced to believe in a greater purpose or meaning in life.
Set up to fail with no chance to succeed
Feeling set up for failure with no opportunity to succeed.
Wasted days spent watching my life pass by
Reflecting on time spent passively observing life without meaningful engagement.
Take me away, back to a better time where I'm not standing in line to die
Expressing a desire to escape to a better time and avoid a grim fate.
I know I've been here before, questioning everything
Acknowledging past experiences of questioning everything in life.
Left with my heart on the floor
Being emotionally vulnerable with a broken heart.
Kick me when I'm down
Reiterating the experience of being mistreated when already down.
Numb to the pain
Feeling emotionally numb as a coping mechanism.
A face with no name
Describing a face that lacks identity or recognition.
Just pull the chair from underneath my feet and throw me out into the cold streets
Repeating the imagery of being abandoned and left in a harsh environment.
They say some things are better left unsaid
Reiterating the idea that certain truths are better left unspoken.
To know the truth would be too much for me to comprehend
Reiterating the fear of being overwhelmed by the truth.
What you see is never what you get
Suggesting that appearances can be deceptive, and reality may differ.
Distorted hope for the hopeless
Expressing a distorted sense of hope for those who feel hopeless.
In sickness and health
Referencing commitment in both sickness and health, possibly metaphorical.
This black cloud will follow me 'til I'm burning in hell
Conveying a persistent sense of negativity or misfortune.
