Lyrics
I'm burning all my pencils as I'm writing in the dark
Burning pencils symbolize a creative process, writing in the dark suggests uncertainty.
Only to be insane scribbles man right below the line
Suggests that creative expression can seem insane or chaotic.
But this time
Refers to a specific instance or situation.
All my words stand behind the protest line
Words are aligned with a protest or defiance against something.
What am i going to do this time
Expresses uncertainty about the next steps in the creative process.
I could erase all these words from my
Contemplating erasing the words from conscience to avoid negative consequences.
Conscience as they plan to bury me alive,
Fears being silenced or suppressed, possibly metaphorically "buried alive."
If I can't get it out I will not survive
The urgency of expressing oneself for survival.
But Every hole looks deep when you dig at night
Metaphorical reflection on challenges seeming overwhelming.
Sometimes were all left to dig that hole
Reflects on the universal experience of facing challenges (digging a hole).
Sometimes just getting out of it is the miracle
Getting out of a difficult situation is viewed as a miraculous feat.
Sometimes seeing that shovel is suspenseful
The anticipation or anxiety of facing difficulties.
Sometimes... and I mean sometimes
Emphasizes the sporadic nature of facing challenges.
I'm looking up words with the same distinction
Researching and comparing words with similar meanings for clarity.
Of what is and what ain't and compare the meanings
Reflects on the distinction between what is real and what isn't.
I could break up senses and load them in a canon
Suggests breaking down senses for a deeper understanding.
Shoot em in the sky and complain why don't I have em
The consequences of expressing oneself and questioning societal norms.
They always say nothing is ever guaranteed
Highlighting the lack of guarantees in life.
But what they leave out is a persons greed
Warning about the negative impact of human greed.
Maybe that's why we chose the vice of sacrifice
Choosing sacrifice as a response to life's challenges.
For when life has no light
Metaphorical reference to difficult times without hope.
We hear death sigh
Reflecting on the inevitability of death in challenging situations.
I'm trippin out on my words explain all this
Feeling overwhelmed and confused by one's own words.
Looking at my paper thinking I didn't even write this
Doubting the authenticity of one's own creative expression.
But this wouldn't happen if you erased all your captions
Suggesting that removing constraints can lead to genuine passion.
Sometimes scribbles can come out as passion
Acknowledging that chaos and passion can coexist in creativity.
Sometimes were all left to dig that hole
Reiteration of the universal experience of facing challenges.
Sometimes just getting out of it is the miracle
Emphasizes the rarity and significance of overcoming challenges.
Sometimes seeing that shovel is suspenseful
The tension and anticipation associated with facing challenges.
Sometimes... and I mean sometimes
Reiteration of the unpredictable nature of challenges.
I didn't even know what I had to find
Realization of not knowing what is essential in life.
I didn't even know who I had to be
Discovering one's identity and purpose.
I didn't even know how to understand the concepts
Struggling to comprehend the significance of creative expression.
Of what scribbling nonsense could actually mean
Reflecting on the potential meaning behind seemingly nonsensical creativity.
Sometimes can go right around the corner
Challenges can unexpectedly emerge.
Sometimes can pop up even when you love her
Unexpected challenges in relationships or love.
Sometimes this shit just doesn't go right
Recognition that things don't always go as planned.
Honestly this shit man is just my life
Expressing the song's themes as a reflection of the artist's life.
