Lyrics
I took the bottle down
I opened a bottle
Pouring slow I overflow
Pouring slowly until it overflows
With life, love and strength
Filling it with life, love, and strength
Awoke the next day
Waking up the next day
A burning ache won't go away
Feeling a persistent and intense pain
It churns inside of me
This pain is churning within
Won't go away
Emphasizing that the pain won't go away
It burned a hole of shame
The pain is accompanied by a sense of shame
I punch the clock in
Starting the workday by clocking in
It ticks and tocks
The clock is ticking, but time seems endless
But never stops
The relentless nature of the work, never stopping
For thirty bucks a day
Earning a meager thirty bucks per day
Won't go away
Reiterating that the pain won't subside
The man without a face
Referring to someone faceless, lacking identity
Won't go away
The faceless struggle or challenge persists
The number by the name
Referring to a numerical identifier
I see a chance to break free
Expressing a desire for liberation
From all the ties that bind me
Wanting to break free from all constraining connections
I call to Jove to watch my way
Invoking Jove (Jupiter, a Roman god) for guidance
Oh, the shackles of a binded mind
Reflecting on the mental constraints and limitations
And I've been waiting all this time
Implying a long period of anticipation
To make my way, to push on through
Expressing a determination to progress despite challenges
Against the grain
Going against societal norms or expectations
The Great Escape
Describing a significant escape or breakthrough
The Great Escape
Reiterating the idea of a remarkable escape
