Another Wasted Night
Navigating Midnight's Temptations: A Tale of Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
It's about that time, bad habits taking full control of me
Reflecting on a moment when bad habits are dominating and influencing the speaker.
Reach out for anything, to help contain this beast
Desperation for anything that can help control the negative influence or addiction.
Started out at two o'clock
Describing the starting time of the night when the negative events unfold.
By five my mind's already shot
By 5 a.m., the speaker's mental state is already impaired or affected negatively.
I've lost control again, three cheers to Sailor Jerry and his men
Acknowledging loss of control, toasting to Sailor Jerry and his men, possibly referring to the consumption of alcohol.
I haven't done this since last night
Indicating a recurring behavior that happened the night before.
We weren't wrong but we weren't right
Reflecting on a past situation where decisions were neither entirely wrong nor right.
Now I'm lying on the porch, outside your door
Being in a vulnerable state, possibly physically lying on someone's porch.
Should I blame the bottle?
Considering whether the bottle or the visit to the liquor store is to blame for the situation.
Or the trip to the liquor store?
Questioning personal responsibility for wanting more, possibly in the context of substance use.
Or should I blame myself for wanting more
Continuation of self-reflection and questioning personal responsibility.
Now I can't breathe now I can't see
Expressing a sense of suffocation and loss of perception.
The world is crashing down on me
Feeling overwhelmed as if the world is collapsing.
Cross my fingers not to die
Expressing a desire or hope not to succumb to the negative consequences.
It's just another wasted night
Summing up the night as another one wasted due to negative habits or actions.
It's a brand new night and consciousness is fading faster
Describing a new night where consciousness is fading rapidly.
And now I'm falling faster, someone please catch me
Expressing a plea for someone to intervene as the speaker feels they are falling faster.
I came to you for assistance
Seeking help from someone, possibly for support with overcoming the negative habits.
In my mind you couldn't resist this
Believing that the person sought for help couldn't resist the request.
But empty bottles, still hit the floor
Noting the continued presence of empty bottles, indicating a struggle with substance abuse.
And now I'm wondering again
Pondering if another friendship has been lost due to the speaker's actions.
Have I just lost another friend
Raising the question of whether someone is still waiting for the speaker to overcome their habits.
Or are you still waiting
Wondering if there is still hope for a connection despite the struggles.
For me to kick this habit, bite my tongue
Reflecting on the need to overcome the habit, exercise self-restraint, and make positive changes.
Finally put down this rum
Expressing the desire to put down the rum and embark on a new, healthier path.
And start a new, with you
Expressing the hope to start anew in a relationship with someone.
Now I can't breathe now I can't see
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation and loss of perception.
The world is crashing down on me
Re-emphasizing the overwhelming sense of the world collapsing.
Cross my fingers not to die
Repeating the hope or desire not to succumb to the negative consequences of the night.
It's just another wasted night
Reiterating that the night has been wasted due to negative actions or habits.
