Girl vs. Monster
Battling Shadows: A Melodic Struggle of Addiction and Solitude
Lyrics
We're all fightin' the good fight
We are all engaged in a noble struggle.
Lost but still on time
We may be lost, but there is still time for redemption.
I was drinkin' with someone new last night
I spent the previous night drinking with someone new.
Down deep in a bottle of somethin'
Deep in the influence of alcohol or some substance.
Both lookin' for a hand to hold
Both of us seeking companionship and support.
It's like girl vs. monster but damn this bed is cold
Despite the battle between girl vs. monster, the bed feels cold, indicating a sense of loneliness.
When getting better don't come cheap
Recovery or improvement comes at a cost.
Runnin' high on time but low on speed
Running out of time but lacking the necessary speed or progress.
When the drugs don't work like Ashcroft said
Referencing the ineffectiveness of drugs, as suggested by Ashcroft.
I'll be home alone lyin' in my bed
Anticipating being alone at home, lying in bed, possibly struggling with inner demons.
It's another wasted day like all the ones before
Another day wasted, similar to those that came before.
Uninspired, almost ok, and bored
Feeling uninspired, almost okay, and bored with life.
I've got just enough
Having just enough but falling short of what is truly needed.
But not quite what I need
Expressing a lack of fulfillment or satisfaction.
I'll be blowin' through and wanting more
Continually seeking more, perhaps in a cyclic pattern.
When getting better don't come cheap
Reiterating that improvement or recovery is not easily attainable.
Runnin' high on time but low on speed
Running out of time and lacking the necessary speed for progress.
When the drugs don't work like Ashcroft said
Reflecting on the limited effectiveness of drugs, echoing Ashcroft's statement.
I'll be home alone lyin' in my bed
Anticipating being alone in bed, suggesting a sense of isolation and vulnerability.
