Escaping Demons: A Struggle for Liberation
Lyrics
What can I say, it's a game that we play
Describing life as a game, acknowledging the nature of the interaction.
Go set the bar and tell them how they'll go far
Encouraging setting high standards and predicting success for others.
Time always runs, wasting life for the fun
Highlighting the relentless passage of time and the potential consequences of living for pleasure.
Throw back the brew until we all come unglued
Indulging in excess, possibly with substances, until losing control.
Wash it down, what are you asking of me
Questioning demands placed on the speaker while consuming something.
Burning out, my demons coming for me
Facing internal struggles and challenges, symbolized by personal demons.
So pick me up, with all the strength left in me
Seeking support from others to overcome difficulties.
Tear it out, just try to break free
Expressing a desire to break free from constraints.
Late are the nights, the early mornings we fight
Describing the struggles during late nights and early mornings.
Dead is the day, become a slave for the pay
Commenting on the monotonous and draining nature of work for financial gain.
A problem they say, but how they've all washed away
Noting that problems and criticisms have faded or been disregarded.
It's escaping from me, save me your pleas
Feeling a sense of loss or escape, rejecting pleas for help.
Wash it down, what are you asking of me
Repeating the theme of questioning demands while consuming something.
Burning out, my demons coming for me
Reiterating internal struggles, demons approaching.
So pick me up, with all the strength left in me
Seeking assistance with the remaining strength.
Tear it out, just try to break free
Expressing the struggle to break free from constraints.
Angry with me for all the hate that you see
Facing criticism or resentment for perceived hate.
Wasted again, always sleep until ten
Indulging in wasteful habits, such as excessive sleep.
Spiraling down, it's a hell that we've found
Describing a downward spiral or challenging situation.
Sober up then till we fall down again
Using substances to cope, only to repeat the cycle of falling down.
Wash it down, what are you asking of me
Repeating the theme of questioning demands while consuming something.
Burning out, my demons coming for me
Reiterating internal struggles, demons approaching.
So pick me up, with all the strength left in me
Seeking assistance with the remaining strength.
Tear it out, just try to break free
Expressing the struggle to break free from constraints.
With the strength left in me
Emphasizing the limited strength available to overcome challenges.
The demons I see
Acknowledging ongoing struggles with personal demons.
Will I ever be free
Questioning the possibility of ever achieving freedom from internal battles.
