Boozing and Losing
Boozing, Losing, and the Search for Meaning
Lyrics
I’m bleeding through my eyes and doing all I can
I am experiencing intense emotional pain, symbolized by bleeding through my eyes, and making every effort.
Trying to divine a simple plan
Attempting to understand or discover a straightforward and uncomplicated course of action.
Last nights repose is breathing through my clothes
The aftermath of last night's rest is evident in my appearance, with a bitter wind symbolizing harsh circumstances.
As a bitter wind blows through out the land
A bitter wind blows, possibly representing challenges or difficulties spreading throughout the land.
Yesterday’s gone up in smoke
The events of yesterday are now gone or wasted.
Tomorrow’s hard to find
The future is uncertain or challenging to anticipate.
I’m just boozing and losing my mind
Engaging in excessive drinking as a coping mechanism and experiencing a mental decline.
I’m just boozing and losing my mind.
Reiterating the theme of indulging in alcohol and losing control of one's mind.
A bolt out of the blue turned me on to you
A sudden and unexpected event (bolt out of the blue) led to a connection with someone.
But I don’t know what to do to be your man
Despite the connection, the speaker is unsure of how to become the person the other desires.
So I bury all my days in dead end alleyways
Choosing to escape reality by navigating aimless and unproductive paths, leading to delays and emptiness.
Infinite delays and empty cans
Symbolizing a state of stagnation and accumulating discarded alcohol containers as a consequence.
That same thing is broke in me
Highlighting a fundamental flaw or issue within the speaker, shared by humanity at large.
That’s broke in all mankind
Emphasizing a common broken aspect in the speaker and all of humanity.
I’m just boozing and losing my mind
Continuing the theme of excessive drinking and the subsequent mental decline.
I’m just boozing and losing my mind.
Reiterating the idea of losing control of the mind due to alcohol consumption.
Yesterday’s gone up in smoke
Reflecting on the past, which is now lost or wasted.
Tomorrow’s hard to find
Expressing the difficulty in foreseeing or planning for the future.
I’m just boozing and losing my mind.
Reiterating the theme of excessive drinking and the resulting mental decline.
