If I Could Quit
Breaking Free: Battling Pain and Demons in 'If I Could Quit'
Lyrics
Well the floor feels likes a pond that I can skate on
Describing a cold, hard floor, possibly reflective of a difficult situation.
I ain't got the coffee to rely on
Expressing a lack of comfort and stability, coffee symbolizing a coping mechanism.
So I slip and slide right in through the bathroom,
Entering the bathroom, seeking solace or escape.
like that freckled little fawn from the cartoon
Reference to a vulnerable character, akin to a fawn in a cartoon.
Now I ain't in there long before I get lonely
Feeling lonely, searching for something to provide comfort.
Start looking for the first thing to hold me
Seeking solace, possibly in substances or distractions.
On the cabinet there's mirror and on the inside
Mention of a mirror on the cabinet, introspection and self-awareness.
That's where all my good buddies sit in sunshine
Reflection on past experiences, represented by "good buddies" in the mirror.
They don't all get along but that's alright
Acknowledging conflicts among past experiences but accepting them.
Like that one time, remember, on prom night?
Reference to a specific event (prom night) with potential emotional significance.
But I'm smarter than them and I love a good fight
Asserting intelligence and readiness for challenges.
And I'll go when I go and the time's right
Embracing the uncertainty of life and its timing.
If I could stop this aching in my knees
Expressing a desire to alleviate physical pain or discomfort.
If I could quit this dragging of my feet
Yearning for relief from a burdensome or challenging situation.
Then I might make it out of this world alive
Desiring to survive and overcome the difficulties of life.
Crushing pills with coffee cups in a cigarette cellophane
Crushing pills symbolizes a form of self-medication, coping with pain.
Well I don't trust no one to treat me and my pain
Lack of trust in others to understand and treat personal pain.
So I self medicate every morning
Adopting a self-medicating routine, possibly as a means of control.
While i stare at the cracks in the flooring
Focusing on mundane details, indicating a state of contemplation or distraction.
What I'm trying to find is the Rite-Aid
Searching for a specific medication (Rite-Aid) to address pain or discomfort.
I can put it on my card, i got Medicaid
Financial reference to using Medicaid to acquire medication.
But now cause a new batch they've brought in
Highlighting changes in available medications and adapting to new options.
I give up Lortabs for Suboxone
Transitioning from one medication (Lortabs) to another (Suboxone).
If I could stop this aching in my knees
Reiterating the desire to alleviate physical pain or discomfort.
If I could quit this dragging of my feet
Expressing a wish to overcome challenges or obstacles.
Then I might make it out of this world alive
Reinforcing the desire to survive and navigate through life.
