A Fool's Life
Living on the Edge: The Tale of a Reckless Journey
Lyrics
It's 1am I've been dancing all night
Expressing the late hour and continuous dancing throughout the night.
It's 2am got a girl in my sights
Noting the time and expressing interest in a specific person.
It's 3am and we're rolling around
Continuing the night, possibly engaging in intimate activities.
It's 4am and we're both coming down
Indicating the early morning hours and the comedown from a high or euphoric state.
Why do I live life this way
Raising a reflective question about the speaker's life choices.
I get drunk almost every day
Admitting to a frequent and excessive consumption of alcohol.
Gonna end up dead some way
Expressing a concern about the potential deadly consequences of the current lifestyle.
If I don't stop living
Recognizing the need to change habits to avoid a negative outcome.
A Fool's life
Summarizing the described lifestyle as that of a fool.
It's 5am wake up on the floor
Describing a disoriented state upon waking up at 5 am.
It's 6am she sneaks out the front door
Noting the departure of the girl from the previous night.
It's 7am I'm praying to a porcelain god
Depicting the speaker's state of illness, possibly from excessive drinking.
It's 8am driving late to the job
Heading to work, portraying a sense of responsibility despite the lifestyle.
Why do I live life this way
Reiterating the reflective question about the chosen way of life.
I get stoned almost every day
Admitting to regular drug use, contributing to the risky lifestyle.
Gonna end up dead some way
Expressing concern about the potential deadly consequences of drug use.
If I don't stop living
Reiterating the need for a lifestyle change to avoid negative outcomes.
A Fool's life
Repeating the characterization of the lifestyle as that of a fool.
It's 5 o'clock just stumbled through the day
Describing a hazy and unproductive day that started late.
It's 6 o'clock Crown Royal is coming my way
Anticipating the consumption of Crown Royal, a type of whiskey.
It's 7 o'clock me and Glenn on the town
Embarking on a night out with a friend named Glenn.
It's 8 o'clock endless shots going down
Engaging in excessive alcohol consumption during the night out.
Why do I live life this way
Reiterating the reflective question about the chosen way of life.
Sniffing lines almost every day
Admitting to regular cocaine use, contributing to the risky lifestyle.
Gonna end up dead some way
Expressing concern about the potential deadly consequences of drug use.
If I don't stop living
Reiterating the need for a lifestyle change to avoid negative outcomes.
A Fool's Life
Repeating the characterization of the lifestyle as that of a fool.
Why do I live life this way
Posing the reflective question again, emphasizing the need for change.
I let a good one slip away
Expressing regret for letting a valuable relationship slip away.
Gonna end up dead someday
Anticipating a potentially fatal outcome if the lifestyle persists.
If I don't stop living
Reiterating the need for a lifestyle change to avoid negative outcomes.
A Fool's life
Final repetition of the characterization of the lifestyle as that of a fool.
A Fool's life
Concluding the song by reiterating the theme of living a foolish life.
