The Devils Grip
Chasing Redemption: Battling Demons in the Bourbon Nights
Lyrics
Here I go just more time
Expressing a repeated attempt or action.
Looking for the answer in a bottle of lies
Seeking answers or solutions in deceptive substances or situations.
Some old habits are hard to break
Referring to entrenched behaviors that are difficult to change.
I'm leaning too far on the devils ledge
Being dangerously close to a point of no return or a situation with negative consequences (metaphorically, being on the edge of danger).
These are the lessons learned
Referring to experiences from which one gains knowledge.
You fall in love and then you crash and burn
Describing the cycle of falling in love and then experiencing emotional turmoil or failure.
Lord I've tried to get away from it
Attempting to distance oneself from something negative.
I can't escape the devils grip
Feeling unable to break free from a harmful influence or control.
Hey bartender set another one down
Requesting another drink from the bartender.
I'm taking my heart to the lost and found
Metaphorically searching for emotional repair or recovery.
The bourbon in my glass is telling me to stay
Feeling compelled to stay due to the influence of alcohol.
The cold hard truth keeps slipping away
The harsh reality becoming difficult to hold onto or accept.
The cold hard truth keeps slipping away
Reiterating the difficulty in accepting a harsh reality.
These are the broken dreams
Referring to shattered aspirations or hopes.
And all that's left are the memories
What remains are recollections of past experiences.
Lord I've tried to get away from it
Continuing attempts to distance oneself from negativity.
I can't escape the devils grip
Feeling trapped or unable to escape a negative influence.
These are the lessons learned
Reiteration of experiences contributing to wisdom.
The hardest part is when you crash and burn
Expressing the difficulty faced during emotional upheavals.
Lord I've tried to get away from it
Continued efforts to break away from something negative.
I can't escape the devils grip
Feeling ensnared by a negative force or influence.
These are the broken dreams
Referring again to shattered hopes and what lingers afterward.
And all that's left are the memories
What remains are memories of past experiences.
The bourbon in my glass won't let me forget
The influence of alcohol preventing the ability to forget.
I can't escape the devils grip
Feeling trapped or unable to break free from a negative force.
When the cold hard truth runs away with it
When the harsh reality evades one's understanding or acceptance.
You can't escape the devils grip
Feeling unable to escape the grip of something negative or harmful.
