Lyrics

Don't wait until it's too late

Implores not to delay action until it's too late

Everyone is gone

Everyone has departed or vanished

Everyone is here

Contrasts with line 2, suggesting a sense of contradiction or confusion

I won't wake up to find myself alone

Expresses a fear of waking up alone, seeking connection

Lying on a bed of nails

Metaphorically describes a painful and challenging situation

And try to figure out what went wrong

Reflects on past events and attempts to understand the cause of difficulties

So all my life destroy my mind

Suggests a self-destructive tendency or a life filled with challenges

Give me all drugs you have

Expresses a desire for escape or relief through substance use

One more shot and I'll be dead

Implies a risk of overdose or self-harm due to excessive drug use

All this time and I'm still alive

Reflects on the passage of time and the unexpected endurance of the speaker

Take one step in front of me

Invites someone to move forward in life

Don't look back or you will open up the world

Advises against dwelling on the past, as it may lead to negative consequences

That's rolling around inside your room

Describes an internal struggle or chaos within the mind

And let the monsters out

Metaphorically encourages facing and confronting personal fears or challenges

Open up the world that's rolling around inside your head

Expands on the idea of confronting inner struggles and releasing inner demons

And let yourself out

Encourages self-liberation and expression

I can't even try to change the past

Expresses a sense of powerlessness to change past actions or events

Cause everywhere I walk they will follow me

Conveys a feeling of being haunted or pursued by one's past

Everything then seen inside of me is a piece of something

Suggests introspection and recognition of inner struggles as a part of a larger whole

Something that they will never be

Highlights a unique aspect of the speaker that others will never understand or replicate
