Preacher
Rebellion's Anthem: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Old Habits' 'Preacher'
Lyrics
Play some tunes as I’m glued to the floor
Engaging in music while feeling stuck or immobile.
Drunk as a skunk and another one going down
Being heavily intoxicated with one drink after another.
Troubled times for the troubled youth
Challenging times for the troubled younger generation.
Some words that won’t jive with me
Encountering words that don't resonate or connect.
Spend my weekends in bed till noon
Spending weekends in bed, reflecting on time passing.
Wondering where the day went
Reflecting on the passage of time and wondering about it.
But a weekend spent in bed
Valuing weekends spent in bed as worthwhile.
Well to me that’s some days we’ll spent
Considering weekends in bed as valuable days.
I don’t believe in Jesus
Expressing skepticism or disbelief in the concept of Jesus.
Cause he doesn’t believe in me
Feeling a lack of reciprocal belief from Jesus.
I don’t wanna believe in something that
Not wanting to believe in something that feels unreal.
Isn’t real to me
Rejecting beliefs that do not feel authentic.
Fuck that I’m gonna do
Determined to do what brings personal satisfaction.
What pleases me
Choosing actions based on personal pleasure.
My cat won’t stop staring at me
Noticing a pet's intense gaze, possibly feeling judged.
Like I got some kind of fucking problem
Perceiving judgment from others for personal choices.
Maybe I should find a better way to waste my time
Contemplating finding a more meaningful use of time.
And block repressed thoughts of tomorrow
Attempting to avoid thoughts about the future.
I don't see myself getting a girl
Expressing doubt about forming a romantic relationship.
When the curve of a bottles what speaks to me
Finding solace or connection in the shape of a bottle.
Hazy rooms broken friends and some booze
Describing an environment of confusion, broken friendships, and alcohol.
Another martyr of society to be
Seeing oneself as a sacrifice to societal expectations.
I don’t believe in Jesus
Reiterating skepticism or disbelief in Jesus.
Cause he doesn’t believe in me
Repeating the lack of reciprocal belief from Jesus.
I don’t wanna believe in something that
Reiterating the reluctance to believe in something unreal.
Isn’t real to me
Reaffirming the rejection of unauthentic beliefs.
Jesus please, Jesus please
Appealing to Jesus for acknowledgment or understanding.
Through an open wall
Suggesting openness and vulnerability through an open wall.
For all eyes to see
Expressing a desire for one's true self to be visible to all.
Everything that's me
Desiring transparency and acceptance of one's identity.
Jesus please, Jesus please
Repeating the plea to Jesus for recognition or understanding.
Through an open wall
Reiterating openness and vulnerability through an open wall.
For all eyes to see
Repeating the desire for one's true self to be visible to all.
Everything that's me
Reiterating the desire for transparency and acceptance.
