Lyrics
Sober
Expressing a state of not being under the influence of substances.
I hold it for a week and then it's over
Attempts to maintain sobriety for a limited time, but ultimately fails.
Will I learn and grow when I'll be older
Reflecting on the potential for personal growth and learning as one ages.
Guess I'll never know, I'm still a soldier
Uncertainty about whether personal growth will occur; the person sees themselves as resilient.
You know it's hard to stop this, I'm a bolder
Acknowledging the difficulty of stopping a particular behavior, using "bolder" as a metaphor for resilience.
You know I do try
Expressing the effort to change or improve.
One day we do die
Contemplating mortality; life is finite.
How do I choose right and choose to fly
The struggle to make the right choices and pursue personal growth.
Sober
Reiteration of the desire to be sober.
I hold it for a week and then it's over
Similar to line 2, struggling with maintaining sobriety.
Will I learn and grow when I'll be older
Revisiting the theme of personal growth and learning as one ages.
I told her that I let this go, now I'm a loner
Admitting loneliness after letting go of something important.
Cause I couldn't get sober Sober
Failure to achieve sobriety, leading to isolation.
Now here we are again, I'm drinking try to mend Though I spend time with my friends
Engaging in drinking as a coping mechanism and attempting to mend emotional issues.
They never see my problems when I'm sober My friend thinks that I'm cool
Friends unaware of personal problems when the person is sober.
I'm nothing but a fool
Admitting foolishness despite the perception of coolness by others.
I see it when I'm
Implies self-awareness and recognition of problems when not under the influence.
Sober
Reiteration of the struggle to maintain sobriety.
I hold it for a week and it's over
Similar to line 2, a cycle of attempting sobriety and failing.
Will I learn and grow up before it's over
Questioning personal growth and maturity before potential negative outcomes.
Get over
Expressing the desire to overcome pain and misery.
All my pain and misery aint over
Pain and misery persisting until achieving sobriety.
Until the day I'm sober
Commitment to achieving sobriety in the future.
Sober
Reiteration of the desire to be sober.
We tried it everybody
Communal effort to achieve sobriety.
We tried to let it go
Attempts to let go of past issues or substances.
We tried to stay sober
Striving to remain sober and maintain a clean lifestyle.
We tried to stay clean and let go
Continued effort to stay clean and let go of negative influences.
Sober, I try, I try
Reiteration of the continuous effort to be sober.
I try until I die
Persistence in trying to be sober until death.
But it's over, it's over
Acknowledging the end of the struggle and the need to let go.
I gotta let it go
Acceptance of the need to release past issues or substances.
I'm letting it go
Reaffirmation of letting go and moving forward.
I'm letting it go
Repetition of the decision to let go and move on.
I'm letting it go
Final declaration of letting go and moving forward.
