Lyrics
Try and travel through time to a different state of mind
Expressing a desire to mentally time-travel to a more serene state.
Back to when things made sense the weight of the world wasn't quite so heavy yet
Reflecting on a past when life was simpler and less burdensome.
Everything seems so vivid like it's still in existence
Recalling memories vividly, as if they still exist in the present.
The dead are now living and the moments aren't so fleeting
Suggesting a wish for deceased loved ones to be alive, and time feeling less fleeting.
Then I open my eyes and in flash it all turns to ashes
Reality abruptly shattering the idyllic mental state.
Drown out the sorrow. Fucked up and hollow
Using coping mechanisms (drowning sorrow) to deal with emotional emptiness.
Caught in this state
Feeling trapped or stuck in a particular emotional state.
I'll never escape
A sense of hopelessness, indicating a perceived inability to escape the emotional state.
A younger me never believed in hell but now that I'm here it's clearly real
A shift in perspective, acknowledging the reality of hardship or suffering.
Sweet release where can you be?
Yearning for relief or release from the challenges of life.
Endlessly wishing to infinitely sleep
Desiring an endless and peaceful state of sleep as an escape.
The taste of death on my tongue
Feeling the presence or inevitability of death.
An old soul wishing he died young
An old soul expressing a desire to have died at a younger age.
Eyes glass over one foot in the grave
Symbolizing a near-death experience or a feeling of being close to the end.
Choking now I can't breathe
Sensations of suffocation and breathlessness, perhaps metaphorical.
Smothered by the choices I made
Feeling overwhelmed by regret and the consequences of past decisions.
Oh god just let me leave this awful place
Pleading for escape from a distressing or unbearable situation.
Eyes glass over one foot in the grave
Reiteration of the feeling of nearing death or a dire situation.
Choking now I can't breathe
Reinforcing the sense of suffocation and desperation.
Smothered by the choices I made
Continuation of feeling overwhelmed by the consequences of choices.
Oh god just let me leave this fucking awful place
An intense plea for release from an unbearable situation.
