In The Dirt
Journey through Desolation: Malicious Intent's 'In The Dirt' Revealed
Lyrics
I woke up today and
I began my day
That was my first mistake
Regretfully, waking up was a mistake
Everything I loved has turned into something that hates me
Things I once loved now seem hostile towards me
Everything is gone
Everything dear to me is lost
When I thought I was someone
Despite thinking highly of myself
Thought I made some progress did some good
Believed I made progress and did good deeds
But here I'm at the start
Yet, I find myself back at the beginning
I never went anywhere
I made no progress; I'm stagnant
I never did anything
I didn't achieve anything
I never met anyone
Never encountered anyone
I never was someone
I wasn't anyone significant
Thought I had done something good
Believed I accomplished something good
Thought I had made some progress
Thought I made progress
Thought I was fixing myself
Believed I was fixing myself
But I looked down and saw myself there
Realized my self-deception
Do you know where you have left me
Asking if the listener knows the state they left the speaker in
Dying in the fucking dirt
Expressing the speaker's agony, dying in a miserable state
Do you know what I have become
Questioning if the listener understands the speaker's transformation
And how much it fucking hurts
Conveying the intense pain experienced by the speaker
Do you know whats left of me
Asking if the listener knows what remains of the speaker
How often is it that I bleed
Reflecting on the frequency of the speaker's suffering
Do you know how far I've fallen
Questioning if the listener comprehends the depth of the speaker's fall
Do you even fucking care
Expressing doubt about the listener's concern
Oh how far I have gone
Emphasizing the great distance the speaker has traveled only to fall
Just to fall
Describing the repeated experience of falling despite efforts
When I thought I could be someone
Reflecting on the aspiration to be someone significant
I see you
Acknowledging the presence of the listener
I will go
Declaring the speaker's intention to depart
And no one will ever know
Highlighting the speaker's belief that their departure will go unnoticed
