Lyrics

The story often told

The story is frequently recounted.

But if I may venture so bold

Expressing a bold opinion or suggestion.


Seen it coming for a long, long time

A foreseeing of events over an extended period.

You've been looking for the wrong way out

You've been seeking an incorrect solution.

Searching for the answers at the bottom of a bottle

Attempting to find solutions through alcohol.

And you better leave it out, yeah

Advising to avoid the mentioned behavior.


Out, your problems will remain, yeah

Your problems persist if you follow that path.

Out, the world will stay the same

The world remains unchanged if you continue.


I've watched the narrative unfold

Observing the unfolding of a narrative.

As you never, never really get a hold

Struggling to gain control.


And it's been coming for a long, long time

A recurring issue that has been apparent for a while.

Still looking for the wrong way out

Persisting in seeking the wrong solution.

Searching for the answers at the bottom of a bottle

Using alcohol to find answers with a caution to slow down.

You should be slowing down and easing off the throttle

Advice to reduce speed and ease off problematic habits.

You never leave it out, yeah

Warning not to continue the harmful behavior.


Out, you'll always feel the same, yeah

Continuing the same path leads to unchanged feelings.

Out, the world will never change

No change in the world if the behavior persists.


A story often told, yeah

A repetition of the idea that stories are often told.

But if I may venture so bold

Reiterating a bold expression or suggestion.


Seen it coming for a long, long time

Anticipating events over an extended period, again.

You've been looking for the wrong way out

Continuing to seek an incorrect solution.

Searching for the answers at the bottom of a bottle

Repeating the use of alcohol to find answers.

And you better leave it out, yeah, alright

Strong advice to refrain from the mentioned behavior.


Out, your problems will remain, yeah

Persistence in the mentioned path maintains problems.

Out, the world will stay the same

The world remains unaltered if the behavior persists.
