Lyrics
Oh my my my my
Expressing a heightened emotional state or excitement
I seem to feel so much better when it
Feeling improved or relieved when the drug takes effect
Kicks in, chemical kitchen
Metaphorically describing the mind as a chemical space affected by the drug
Feel my brain destruct
Sensation of mental disintegration caused by the drug
Oh di-, di-, diazepam you
Directly addressing the drug diazepam
Turn the volume down on my demons and you
Describing diazepam's ability to reduce the intensity of inner struggles
Give me relief just for a second and you
Crediting diazepam for providing temporary relief
Make it all so numb
Inducing a sense of emotional numbness
Oh why, why, diazepam do
Rhetorical question about diazepam's impact on perception
You make me feel like everything's not dissolving?
Questioning the drug's ability to prevent a feeling of dissolution or breakdown
Spinning doors are revolving
Visual imagery of revolving doors, symbolizing cyclical experiences
Swallow a tablet I'm over-indulging
Admitting excessive use of diazepam
I've tried, tried diazepam to
Attempts to use diazepam to stay positive and avoid collapse
Be the optimist and resist cards folding
Dependence on diazepam as a support or coping mechanism
You're the crutch that I'm holding
Describing diazepam as a necessary support or reliance
Don't want tomorrow cause right now I'm golden
Preference for the present state induced by diazepam over the uncertainty of the future
Oh di-, di- diazepam
Repetition of addressing diazepam
Don't lie, lie diazepam
Asking diazepam not to deceive or mislead
Oh my, my, my, my
Expressing attachment or dependence on diazepam
When you leave why can't I breathe like you've stolen?
Feeling suffocated or distressed when the effects of diazepam wear off
My very essence my coding
Metaphorically referring to diazepam as essential to their being
Went for a swim and then drowned in your ocean
Describing immersion and dependence on diazepam's effects
Don't lie lie diazepam you
Reiterating a plea to diazepam not to deceive
Promised me the world but now I'm rotting and molding
Feeling betrayed by diazepam's promises and experiencing decay
And my face it feels swollen
Physical and emotional swelling due to drug-induced effects
Anesthetic I block that emotion
Using the drug as an anesthetic to numb emotional pain
Synesthetic dreaming I'm carried away
Experiencing vivid sensory dreams under the drug's influence
Anesthetic bleeding a place for the pain
Using the drug as a metaphorical anesthetic for emotional wounds
Self-destructive healing it's one and the same
Recognizing the destructive nature of relying on the drug for healing
Oh, di-, di- diazepam
Addressing diazepam and its impact on perception and sensation
Synesthetic dreaming I'm carried away
Similar imagery to line 31, emphasizing dream-like experiences
Anesthetic bleeding a place for the pain
Reiterating the use of diazepam as an anesthetic for emotional pain
Self-destructive healing its one and the same
Highlighting the destructive nature of relying on the drug for healing
Don't lie, lie diazepam
Repeating the plea for honesty and trust from diazepam
Oh di-, di-, di-, diazepam
Repetition of addressing diazepam
Synesthetic dreaming I'm carried away
Reiterating dream-like experiences under the drug's influence
Anesthetic bleeding a place for the pain
Metaphorical use of diazepam as an anesthetic for emotional pain
Self-destructive healing it's one and the same
Acknowledging the contradictory nature of self-destructive reliance on the drug for healing
