Makers
Embracing the Sweet Darkness: Rocky Votolato's Makers Unveiled
Lyrics
Death keeps calling me, she's gonna set me free
Death is metaphorically calling, offering freedom.
No more
An abrupt declaration of an end.
Sunshine sidewalk streets or misery
Contrasting experiences: positive (Sunshine, sidewalk streets) and negative (misery).
Like she did for you
Referencing someone else's experience with death.
Oh Allen how you suffered
Addressing someone named Allen who experienced suffering.
Lower east-side apartment
Setting the location as a lower east-side apartment.
We stayed up late
Describing shared late-night moments.
The bones inside your mind where all
Highlighting the impact on Allen's mental state.
Broken
Noting a state of brokenness.
And the keys that opened any answers were all stolen
Keys representing solutions were taken or lost.
Filling and refilling up the glass with makers
Repeatedly filling a glass with Maker's Mark whiskey.
We both agreed
Mutual agreement on the importance of this action.
The Final Moment!
Highlighting a significant moment.
The sweetest remedy to ever be delivered!
Describing death as the sweetest remedy.
Heaven or heavenless we're all headed for the same sweet darkness
Reflecting on the universal inevitability of death.
So she came for you, well I guess you wanted her to
Suggesting a voluntary acceptance of death.
Now in the
Transitioning to a state of rest and peace.
Safety of a coffin rest you're through
Emphasizing freedom from obligations and memories.
No more debts or memories
Listing what is no longer present after death.
No more heart blood or skin on teeth
Symbolizing the end of physical aspects of life.
Final dosage to set you free
Referring to a final dose, possibly of a substance hastening death.
Heaven or heavenless we're all headed for the same sweet darkness
Reiterating the shared destiny of facing the sweet darkness of death.
