Lyrics
One day you'll wake up
Awakening to a realization that life lacks significance.
And life will have no meaning
Life's essence is reduced to the sensation in one's veins.
Except that feeling in your veins
Highlighting the centrality of the feeling associated with drug use.
Another blast another line
Engaging in drug use, possibly cocaine, with hesitation.
You'd hardly do it
Reluctance or resistance to the drug's allure.
Your lungs are craving
Physical craving for the drug, portraying dependency.
That cocaine
Specifically referencing the allure of cocaine.
Well, all your friends
Peer pressure, friends witnessing drug use without intervention.
Will sit and watch you do it
Observers eventually succumbing to the same drug use.
And when it's time they'll do the same
A cycle of drug abuse perpetuated by peer influence.
You taste the smoke
Experiencing the negative effects of drug consumption.
It's the evil that's inside you
Identifying the destructive nature within oneself.
You know the winner of the game
Acknowledging the adverse consequences of the drug 'game.'
Oh no, can't you feel the pain?
Expressing the physical and emotional distress caused by addiction.
Can you feel the misery?
Questioning if the pain and misery are palpable.
Well, time goes on
The progression of time exacerbating the loss of control.
And you feel your body slipping
Sensing the body's deterioration and becoming enslaved to addiction.
There's no control, you're a slave
Lack of control over one's actions, becoming a slave to addiction.
You breathe in deep
Inhaling deeply, ensuring the heart is still beating amid drug use.
And be sure your hearts still pumping
Awareness that despite drug use, life persists for now.
You ain't ready for the grave
Not yet ready for the fatal consequences of drug abuse.
One more time
Repeated attempts to quit, acknowledging the struggle with addiction.
And you promise the you will quit
Unsuccessful promises to quit, recognizing the challenge.
But today's just not the day
Procrastination and reluctance to address addiction immediately.
Everyday you give that
Repetitive preaching about quitting, despite continued drug use.
Same old sermon
Despite warnings, persisting in the destructive behavior.
Still you crack your life away
Cracking one's life away, succumbing to addiction despite awareness.
Today they found you
Discovering the aftermath of drug abuse, finding an empty, lifeless person.
In your room, your eyes were empty
Visualizing the consequences of addiction, with empty, lifeless eyes.
A stem of a glass clutched in your hand
Symbolic imagery of death, clutching a drug paraphernalia.
Your heart had stopped
Heart failure and the departure of life, tragic consequences of addiction.
And your life had left you
The premature end of life due to the destructive nature of drugs.
Dead young American
Portraying the tragic fate of a young American succumbing to addiction.
