Junkie
Junkie's Lament: Unraveling the Fragile Maze of Addiction
Lyrics
I got blue bands on me
I have blue bands (possibly referring to money) on me.
Burning all my money
I am spending all my money recklessly.
She can never fix me
She cannot fix or save me from my issues.
Maybe I’m a junkie
Perhaps I am struggling with addiction; I may be a junkie.
I’m all out of drugs, now she hates what I’m becoming
I have run out of drugs, and now she dislikes the person I am becoming.
She all out of love, but really that ain’t nothing
She is out of love, but it doesn't bother me.
Pull up in a matte wraith
I arrive in an expensive car (matte wraith).
Switch blade to your face
Threatening with a switchblade, indicating violence.
Put you in a shallow grave
A violent image, putting someone in a shallow grave.
Growing flowers out your face
Metaphorically growing consequences like flowers on a face.
Demons in my head, talking so loud, I can’t hear a word you say Live fast, die young, I can’t see another way
Battling inner demons, living fast, and contemplating a short life.
Fragile like a rose
Comparing oneself to a fragile rose, hinting at vulnerability.
Unravel and decompose Imagine me breaking in your hands My heart is in your dove cage My mind is lost in your maze Love me and try to understand
Expressing vulnerability and complexity in a relationship.
I don’t even understand myself
Admitting a lack of self-understanding.
I light a match then burn my wealth
Engaging in destructive behavior, burning one's wealth.
Like a house of cards don’t play with me
Warning against playing with emotions, like a delicate house of cards.
I ain’t no jigsaw puzzle don’t call me
Rejecting being treated as a puzzle or a game.
Billy Jean is not my lover
Referencing the song "Billie Jean," disassociating from problematic relationships.
I threw that bitch out when she started acting like my Mother
Rejecting someone who acts like a mother figure.
Yeah
Confirmation or emphasis on the rejection.
And I can’t deal with that
Expressing difficulty in dealing with a situation.
I get so violent I kill my anger with a baseball bat Man that sounds crazy
Using violence as a coping mechanism for anger.
Yellow taxi
Mentioning a yellow taxi and a black daisy, possibly symbolic elements.
Black daisy
Continuation of symbolic elements.
I’m sellin this script to Martin Scorsese
Suggesting the sale of a script to Martin Scorsese, possibly a metaphor.
Fragile like a rose
Repetition of vulnerability metaphor (fragile like a rose).
Unravel and decompose Imagine me breaking in your hands My heart is in your dove cage My mind is lost in your maze Love me and try to understand
Reiteration of complex emotions in a relationship.
Look Fuck boy stay the fuck back don’t touch me Thought u had changed
Warning someone to stay away, not trusting them.
But u actin like a junkie
Accusing someone of acting like a junkie and not changing.
Pawned my shit while I’m busy out workin
Complaining about someone pawning belongings while busy working.
These days u don’t act like the same person
Observing a change in the person's behavior.
I met back then back then u had purpose
Recalling a past purpose in the person's life.
Shit done changed no biggie not
Accepting changes without being overly concerned.
Nervous Stay with the clowns and I don’t like the circus Light a match to ur face breathe like bourbon Flame everywhere burn the house to the surface say my grace at ur god damn service
Rejecting association with negative influences and embracing destructive actions.
Took the clothes that u Gave me then I burned um Guess u was right I really am crazy
Burning clothes given by someone, acknowledging personal instability.
Now u in the dirt like daisies uh
Imagining someone in the dirt like daisies, possibly expressing disdain.
Bullshit never phase me uh
Remaining unaffected by meaningless issues.
Till they put me in a casket screaming Fuck u pay me uh
Expressing defiance until the end, regardless of consequences.
