Lyrics
Well god I've done it again
Expressing a sense of guilt or regret towards a higher power.
I've turned these cobblestones to blood red
Metaphorically describing a transformation, turning a peaceful path into a violent one.
Put the bottle down, picked up the pen
Choosing writing over drinking, indicating a shift in focus.
Found myself, amongst the worst of men
Reflecting on being in the company of morally questionable individuals.
Busted knuckles, dirty hands
Physical signs of involvement in a difficult or challenging situation.
Should've stayed away from this tainted land
Regretting being in a corrupted or morally compromised environment.
Barely striving, barely surviving
Struggling and surviving in difficult circumstances.
But no one here gives a fuck that they're dying
Observing a lack of empathy or concern for others' well-being.
Who am I to judge, after spending years stuck in a rut
Acknowledging personal shortcomings after spending a long time in a stagnant situation.
They extended a hand, then washed my face
Experiencing a gesture of kindness followed by a harsh reality check.
Welcomed me into this land of grace
Being accepted into a seemingly gracious or forgiving community.
I've never felt so at home
Feeling a sense of belonging in a place where adherence to moral values led to loneliness.
Obeying god just left me so alone
Reflecting on the loneliness resulting from strict adherence to religious principles.
The devil sins but he's not one to judge
Recognizing the lack of judgment from the devil compared to god.
As I slowly find myself falling back in love
Finding a new love or passion despite previous reservations.
No holy hands, no wedding bands
Describing the absence of religious or marital commitments.
Just muck and sand in this river's end
Depicting a desolate environment with mud and sand at the end of a river.
Float away
Expressing a desire to escape or detach from the current situation.
Float away now
-Float away
-Float away
-Float away now
-Float away
-I told myself not to drown
Struggling with the temptation to succumb to destructive behavior, possibly related to drowning as a metaphor for losing oneself.
But I couldn't help myself
-Now float away with them, down the river's end
-Now float away with them
-I told myself not to drown
-But I couldn't help myself
