Dead Men Can't Get Drunk
Resurrecting Desperation: Living Beyond Hell's Bottom
Lyrics
How long can I drag this thing on
Expressing a sense of prolonging a situation or feeling.
It feels like someone pissed inside my soul
Feeling deeply troubled or disturbed.
Spent my life perfecting desperation
Spent life perfecting the feeling of hopelessness or despair.
Never gave a damn about self control
Disregarded the concept of restraint or moderation.
And if the bottom dropped out of hell
Even if things get unimaginably worse.
I'd be too low down to even tell
Would be in such a low state that recognition of further hardship would be impossible.
Gotta keep on living cause
Motivated to continue living because
Dead man can't get drunk
A deceased person cannot consume alcohol.
No can't get drunk
Reiteration of the fact that a dead person cannot get intoxicated.
Singing songs about the good old crucifixion
Sarcastically referring to singing about a significant religious event (crucifixion).
They never said don't try this at home
Ignoring cautionary advice regarding risky behavior.
Endless anthem of self mass destruction
A continuous celebration or anthem of one's own self-destruction.
Gotta keep on living cause
Reason to persist in living.
Dead man can't get drunk
Reiteration that a deceased individual cannot become intoxicated.
No can't get drunk
Reiteration emphasizing the inability of a dead person to get drunk.
How long can I drag this thing on
Repeating the idea of prolonging a situation or feeling.
It feels like someone pissed inside my soul
Reiterating a deep sense of disturbance or trouble.
Endless anthem of self mass destruction
Continued celebration or anthem of self-destruction.
Well I know hits ready to go
Confident in being prepared for something to happen.
And if the bottom dropped out of hell
Similar to line 6, indicating a state of extreme lowliness.
I'd be too low down to even tell
Reiterating an inability to recognize further hardship due to extreme despair.
Gotta keep on living cause
Reasoning to continue living.
Dead man can't get drunk
Emphasizing the inability of a deceased individual to get intoxicated.
No can't get drunk No
Reiteration emphasizing a dead person's incapability to get drunk.
So nail me up
A reference to being crucified, metaphorically expressing being subjected to something unfavorable.
The best you can
Imploring to put effort into an unpleasant situation.
Just put a cold one
Asking for a drink even in such a difficult circumstance.
In my hand
Desiring a drink even in a dire situation.
