Lyrics
Desperately grasping at the meaning of life
Desperation in seeking the purpose of life
From someone who is truly afraid to live
Fear of living expressed by the source of life insights
Burying themselves beneath a mountain of pills
Self-destructive behavior using pills to escape reality
Just to let reality drift
Choosing to let go and allow reality to fade away
Into a distant thought
Reality becomes a distant and detached concept
Maybe I'm just a fool
Self-awareness of possible foolishness in interpretation
Who's dissecting your words
Examining and analyzing the speaker's words
To mean what I want them to
Subjective interpretation, molding words to personal desires
Holding on
Clutching onto every spoken sound or syllable
To every syllable
Valuing each element of speech as if it holds deeper meaning
Like everything you said meant something more
Ascribing significant meaning to every uttered phrase
Slow slurs echo through my mind
Alcohol-induced speech slurring impacting the speaker's thoughts
Reminding me
Reflecting on the impact of the listener's words
Of how oblivious you can be
Realization of the listener's oblivious nature
When you only see
Seeing only what aligns with personal desires
What you want to
Selective perception of reality
Desperately grasping at the meaning of life
Repetition of the theme of seeking life's meaning
From someone who is truly afraid to live
Fear of life reiterated in the context of seeking meaning
Burying themselves beneath a mountain of pills
Escaping reality through substance abuse
Just to let reality drift
Choosing to let go of reality through pills
Into a distant thought
Reality becoming a distant and detached concept (repeated)
I figured it out for myself though
Individual realization and self-discovery
I let the forest consume me
Immersing oneself in nature to find personal growth
And took what I could from the branches and bark
Utilizing nature's elements to transform and evolve
To try and make myself more than who I was when I went in
Striving to become a better version of oneself
You've always feared the trees
Addressing another's fear of nature and personal growth
Running as far away as you could
Actively avoiding confronting life's challenges
Fighting the whole time to keep from being enveloped by the burden of life
Resisting the weight of life's difficulties
Life catches up though
Life inevitably catching up and demanding reflection
Forcing confrontation with your past
Facing the consequences of one's past actions
Your future
Confronting the uncertainty of the future
Your everything
Confronting all aspects of life, encompassing everything
Desperately grasping at the meaning of life
Continued search for life's meaning
From someone who is truly afraid to live
Reiteration of fear of living while seeking meaning
Burying themselves beneath a mountain of pills
Escaping reality through substance abuse (repeated)
Just to let reality drift
Choosing to let go of reality through pills (repeated)
Into a distant thought
Reality becoming a distant and detached concept (repeated)
You always gave that snake oil-selling grin
Describing a deceptive, insincere smile
Trying to push it more than the substances
Emphasizing the deceptive nature of a grin over substances
That keep your spine aligned
Highlighting the importance of substances in maintaining composure
That keep your spine aligned
Emphasizing the crucial role of substances in sustaining stability
