Sober
Embracing Redemption: A Quest for Sobriety
Lyrics
There's a shadow just behind me
Feeling pursued or haunted by a troubling presence.
Shrouding every step I take
Obscuring each move taken, creating a sense of darkness.
Making every promise empty
Every commitment made appears hollow or insincere.
Pointing every finger at me
Blame and accusation are directed towards the speaker.
Waiting like a stalking butler
Describing a vigilant figure waiting with intent.
Who upon the finger rests
An imagery of suspense, akin to a butler holding a secret.
Murder now the path of must we
Choosing a destructive path, possibly influenced by external factors.
Just because the son has come
Suggesting actions taken because a significant event has occurred.
Jesus, won't you try and whistle
Pleading for divine intervention to move beyond the past.
Something but the past and done?
-Jesus, won't you try and whistle
-Something but the past and done?
-Why can't we not be sober?
Expressing a desire for sobriety and a fresh start.
Just want to start this over
-And why can't we drink forever?
-I just want to start this over
-I am just a worthless liar
Self-deprecating statements about being deceptive and harmful.
I am just an imbecile
-I will only complicate you
-Trust in me and fall as well
-I will find a center in you
-I will chew it up and leave
-I will work to elevate you
-Just enough to bring you down
-Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
Seeking solace or guidance from a maternal figure.
Something but what's past and done
-Mother Mary, won't you whisper?
-Something but the past and done
-Why can't we not be sober?
Reiterating the longing for sobriety and a fresh start.
I just want to start this over
-And why can't we sleep forever?
-I just want to start this over
-I am just a worthless liar
Continuing self-critical thoughts and warning others about trust.
I am just an imbecile
-I will only complicate you
-Trust in me and fall as well
-I will find a center in you
-I will chew it up and leave
-Trust me
-Trust me
-Trust me
Repeated emphasis on trust issues, potentially self-directed.
Trust me
-Trust me
-Why can't we not be sober?
Final plea for a reset, questioning the inability to stay sober.
I just want to start things over
-And why can't we sleep forever?
-I just want to start this over
