Withdrawals
Exploring the Depths of Inner Struggle: Michael Simpson's Withdrawals
Lyrics
I've been killin' rye like old bacteria
Reflecting on consuming rye alcohol excessively, likening it to eliminating old problems or issues.
Hit me on the shoulder
Open to communication, signaling a willingness to engage with others.
If I'm disrespecting your interior
Acknowledging the possibility of causing emotional harm or offense, expressing awareness of personal boundaries.
Keep on just rollin' that joint
Encouraging the continuation of a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere by rolling and smoking a joint.
I can't lower my voice if I tried
Unable to control the volume of speech, possibly due to intoxication or heightened emotions.
I'm exploring my mind
Engaging in self-reflection and introspection.
Look in every dark corner
Exploring all aspects of the mind, even the darker and more challenging ones.
Scared of what I might find
Feeling anxious or fearful about discovering certain aspects of oneself.
Make this house cold
Intentionally creating emotional distance or coolness in the environment.
And warm it up again when I'm shiverin'
Reversing emotional detachment by warming up the atmosphere when feeling vulnerable or cold.
I'm losing control
Experiencing a lack of self-control, possibly in relation to substance use or emotional struggles.
Started washing my drinks down with medicine
Turning to medication or substances to cope with emotional challenges.
You said, "get yourself right and don't be an idiot"
Receiving advice to improve oneself and avoid foolish behavior.
Hit the ground so hard that I can't get up
Experiencing a significant setback or failure, making it difficult to recover.
No walkin' forward think I tore all my ligaments
Feeling physically and metaphorically immobilized, hindered from moving forward.
Diagnose me with every disorder
Perceiving oneself as having various mental health issues or disorders.
Seein' fire and mortar every time that I'm closing my eyes
Experiencing vivid and distressing imagery when closing the eyes, possibly related to inner turmoil.
Can't believe you were with me for so long
Expressing surprise or disbelief that someone stayed with the speaker despite personal struggles.
I was punching through drywall
Revealing destructive behavior, like punching through drywall, during a challenging period.
Swear to God I was losing my mind
Affirming a struggle with mental health, suggesting a sense of losing sanity.
Make this house cold
Repeating the pattern of creating emotional distance and then seeking warmth in response to vulnerability.
And warm it up again when I'm shiverin'
Repeating the theme of losing control and resorting to medication to cope.
I'm losing control
Reiterating the sense of losing self-control, possibly due to ongoing challenges.
Started washing my drinks down with medicine
Repeating the use of medication as a coping mechanism in the face of difficulties.
Make this house cold
Repeating the cycle of creating emotional distance and seeking warmth during vulnerable moments.
And warm it up again when I'm shiverin'
Repeating the pattern of losing control and resorting to medication for solace.
I'm losing control
Reaffirming the ongoing struggle with self-control and the reliance on medication as a coping strategy.
Started washing my drinks down with medicine
Reiterating the use of medication to cope with personal challenges and difficulties.
