Baptized in Whiskey
Soulful Redemption: Mason Hays' Journey Through Troubles and Redemption
Lyrics
Trouble must be my middle name
Trouble seems to follow me consistently.
Even if it’s not my fault, I’m the one to blame
Even when it's not my fault, I take responsibility.
My woman thinks that I’m the devil
His partner perceives him as evil or negative.
And I’m not sure I could argue with that claim
He acknowledges the possibility of being the devil-like figure.
This hole I’m in is gettin’ deep
He feels trapped in a worsening situation.
I hear voices in my head that make it hard to sleep
Experiencing disturbing thoughts affecting his sleep.
So point me in the right direction
Seeking guidance or help.
Take me somewhere I can find some kinda peace
Desiring a place or situation for solace.
It’s time to go down to the river
Planning to seek spiritual cleansing.
Let the Spirit set me free
Wants to be liberated by spiritual means.
Lay my soul down in the water
Metaphorically surrendering himself for spiritual renewal.
Cause I’ve already been baptized in whiskey
He feels he's already been deeply affected by alcohol.
I’ve been drunk on Johnny Walker Red
Referring to specific alcoholic experiences.
I’ve been high on pills and fame that went straight to my head
Being intoxicated by both drugs and fame.
I’m tired of drowning in the darkness
Tired of being consumed by negativity and wants to change.
Light a match until that part of me is good and dead
Willing to destroy the negative part within him.
It’s time to go down to the river
Reiterating the desire for spiritual liberation.
Let the Spirit set me free
Seeking freedom from his wrongdoings.
Lay my sins down in the water
Symbolically seeking cleansing for his sins.
Cause I’ve already been baptized in whiskey
Believes he's already deeply influenced by alcohol's effects.
I’ve been searching in the shadows
His past efforts only led to negative experiences.
Darkness was all I found
Darkness and negativity prevailed in his search.
Put me on the straight and narrow
Desires guidance towards a righteous path.
Set my feet on holy ground
Aspires for a spiritual and morally upright foundation.
It’s time to go down to the river
Reiterating the need for spiritual cleansing.
Let the Spirit set me free
Desiring spiritual liberation from past influences.
Lay my soul down in the water
Symbolic surrender of himself for spiritual purification.
Cause I’ve already been baptized in whiskey
Feels deeply impacted by the effects of alcohol.
