PRESSING MY LUCK
Chasing Shadows of Existence
Lyrics
This hole in my head
This refers to a mental or emotional emptiness or void.
It feels so good
The emptiness or void is pleasurable or satisfying in some way.
Finally a chance at solace
Finding comfort or relief, possibly in solitude.
No need to be understood
Not needing to be understood by others; a sense of liberation.
No one will remember my name
A desire for anonymity, leaving no lasting impact on others.
After I disappear
A sense of disappearing or fading into obscurity.
No one will remember anything
The expectation that nothing about the person will be remembered.
That I did when I was here
Reflection on actions and their lack of lasting significance.
And now I'm Pressing my luck
The speaker is taking risks or making daring choices.
And my internal clock is running out
A realization that time is running out internally.
It's time i fuck things up again
Intentionally causing disruption or chaos.
If Paradise is never found
Casting doubt on the existence of a perfect or ideal state.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Questioning the existence of paradise in the first place.
A man made book force fed me this lie
Critique of religious or ideological teachings.
Truth vomits out, here we go again
Truth is difficult and uncomfortable, leading to repetition of mistakes.
I plan not pray I plan on losing it all
Choosing to lose everything intentionally.
Cause praying never got me a god damn thing
Expressing dissatisfaction with traditional forms of seeking help.
And now I'm Pressing my luck
Reiteration of taking daring risks.
And my internal clock is running out
Repetition of the awareness of limited time.
It's time I fuck things up again
Intention to cause disruption or chaos again.
If Paradise is never found
Reiteration of doubt regarding paradise.
Never found
Reinforcing the uncertainty about paradise.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Repeating doubt about the existence of an ideal state.
Letting go of everything I loved
Letting go of things previously cherished or loved.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Doubting the existence of what was once loved.
Giving up never felt so right
Finding satisfaction in giving up or surrendering.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Questioning the validity of what was once valued.
I plan not pray
Choosing to plan rather than rely on prayer.
If you want me to believe in your bullshit
Rejecting belief in something perceived as false or insincere.
You can send me to hell
A preference for undesirable consequences over false beliefs.
No one will remember my name
Repetition of the desire for anonymity and lack of remembrance.
After I disappear
Reiteration of the expectation of being forgotten.
No one will remember anything
Repetition of the lack of remembrance for actions.
That I did when I was here
Reflecting on the insignificance of past actions.
Pressing my luck
Repetition of taking daring risks.
And my internal clock is running out
Repetition of the awareness of limited time.
It's time I fuck things up again
Reiteration of the intention to cause disruption or chaos.
If Paradise is never found
Reiteration of doubt regarding paradise.
Never found
Reinforcing the uncertainty about paradise.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Repeating doubt about the existence of an ideal state.
Letting go of everything I love
Repetition of letting go of things previously cherished or loved.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Repetition of doubting the existence of what was once loved.
Giving up never felt so right
Repetition of finding satisfaction in giving up or surrendering.
Did it ever exist in the first place
Repetition of questioning the validity of what was once valued.
I plan not pray
Reiteration of choosing to plan rather than rely on prayer.
