Bloodshot
Bloodshot Confession: Embracing Addiction, Breaking Silence
Lyrics
Feed my addiction
Expressing a desire to satisfy a personal craving or dependency.
The life that I’ve chosen
Acknowledging a chosen way of life or path.
The chemicals, the decibels
Referring to the impact of substances and loud sounds on life.
Living in the slums
Describing a living situation in impoverished conditions.
I blast out my ear drums
Intensely listening to loud music, potentially as a coping mechanism.
Turn it up, just to turn it up
Increasing the volume for its own sake, emphasizing a rebellious attitude.
Bloodshot eyes
Describing eyes that are bloodshot, possibly from fatigue or substance use.
They open wide
Expressing a wide-eyed, intense stare, possibly reflecting intensity.
I stare in the sunlight
Facing the brightness of life, refusing to turn away from challenges.
I won’t go blind
Confidence in facing difficulties without succumbing to negative outcomes.
You pulled me out of the grave
Gratefulness for being rescued from a dire situation.
Nothing left to save
Acknowledging a lack of salvageable elements in the past.
Thought for sure I would go down this way
Anticipation of a negative outcome that didn't materialize.
Now I write on a page
Channeling emotions and experiences into creative expression.
Everything that I hate
Writing about disliked aspects of life.
I was a prisoner but now I’m just a slave
Transitioning from a state of confinement to one of servitude.
Finding my balance
Seeking equilibrium in life.
To break through the silence
Overcoming silence and finding one's voice.
The open road is never closed
Emphasizing the perpetual availability of opportunities.
Here’s my confession
Disclosing a personal confession or admission.
I feed my obsession
Continuing to indulge in a passionate pursuit.
It’s all I know, it’s in my soul
Stating that the passion is an integral part of one's identity.
B Bloodshot eyes
Reiteration of bloodshot eyes, highlighting a persistent state.
They open wide
Reiterating the intense, wide-eyed gaze despite challenges.
I stare in the sunlight
Reaffirming the ability to face brightness without negative consequences.
I won’t go blind
Reasserting confidence in facing challenges without losing sight.
You pulled me out of the grave
Recalling a rescue from a dire situation with nothing to lose.
Nothing left to save
Affirming the absence of salvageable elements in the past.
Thought for sure I would go down this way
Reflecting on averted negative expectations.
Now I write on a page
Continuing to express emotions and experiences through writing.
Everything that I hate
Persistently writing about disliked aspects of life.
I was a prisoner but now I’m just a slave
Highlighting a shift from being confined to becoming subservient.
Fight, fight, fight, spent my whole life dreaming
Emphasizing a lifetime spent pursuing dreams through struggle.
Not happy till I get some meaning
Linking happiness to finding meaning in life.
Fight, fight, fight, got a chip on my shoulder
Acknowledging a persistent feeling of being overlooked or disregarded.
I come alive at night, kill the fucking lights
Thriving and coming alive during the night, metaphorically killing distractions.
You pulled me out of the grave
Reiterating rescue from a dire situation with no salvaged remnants.
Nothing left to save
Affirming the absence of elements worth saving in the past.
Thought for sure I would go down this way
Reflecting on the avoided path of self-destruction.
Now I write on a page
Continuing to use writing as a tool to express dislikes.
Everything that I hate
Persistently writing about everything disliked in life.
I was a prisoner but now I’m just a slave
Acknowledging a transition from imprisonment to servitude.
