The Back of My Eyes
Eternal Struggle: Battling Inner Demons and Embracing Life
Lyrics
Oh Jesus Christ it went and happened again
Expressing surprise or frustration at a recurring event.
I got to thinking that my world’s gonna end
Feeling a sense of impending doom or crisis in personal life.
A burning building at the back of my eyes
Metaphorically describing intense emotions or turmoil within.
Just to remind me I don’t wanna die
Using a vivid image to emphasize the desire to live despite challenges.
Oh baby tell me quick, oh what do I do?
Seeking urgent advice or guidance in a critical situation.
My heart stopped beating, what if it didn’t move?
Expressing fear or uncertainty about the continuation of life.
All these ridiculous things I believe
Acknowledging irrational beliefs that may have real consequences.
Might just come true if I forget to breathe
Highlighting the potential impact of neglecting basic life functions.
I know it’s over and over we said
Acknowledging the repetition of a situation or feeling.
It’s just the panic that is in your head
Attributing distress to panic rather than an actual problem.
You’re alright, man, nothing is wrong
Reassuring oneself that everything is okay despite internal turmoil.
One day it’s here and another it’s gone
Reflecting on the transient nature of life's challenges.
Come on
Encouraging or urging someone to move forward.
Come on
Reiteration of encouragement or urgency.
I line my demons up in single file
Acknowledging personal struggles or inner conflicts.
I put my blessings all in one big pile
Concentrating positive aspects or blessings into a collective thought.
I strike a match and I set fire to them
Symbolically letting go of negative influences or past issues.
I strike ‘em down so I can start again
Expressing a willingness to overcome challenges and start anew.
Some place slower and some place new
Referencing varied experiences or places in life.
Always with style and always with you
Emphasizing a consistent and stylish approach to life.
Sometimes my fears tend to set me free
Acknowledging that fears can sometimes lead to liberation.
Kinda like electricity
Comparing the freeing effect of fears to the unpredictable nature of electricity.
