Climbing Out This Bottle
Breaking the Chains: Confronting Shadows in 'Climbing Out This Bottle'
Lyrics
Bound by this liquid
Feeling restricted or controlled by alcohol
It's masking thoughts and ideas
Alcohol is a coping mechanism, concealing genuine thoughts and ideas
My actions this is not me
Acknowledging that current actions are not a true reflection of oneself
it's my sickness, my alter ego
Attributing negative behavior to a personal sickness or alter ego
Fuelled by the fear of the truth
Using alcohol as a way to avoid confronting fears and facing the truth
Pass down through Generation after...
Transmitting destructive patterns through generations
I'll climb out this bottle
Expressing a commitment to overcoming alcoholism to appreciate positive aspects of life and relationships
To look at a bright sunny day
-I'll climb out this bottle
-To look at you're bright happy face
-I'll climb out this bottle
-To look at a bright sunny day
-I'll climb out this bottle
-To look at your bright happy face
-Eyes clouded by friendship
Having a distorted perception due to the influence of friendships
You offer no answers when I bleed out questions
Friends are unable to provide meaningful solutions to personal struggles
But you can't change who does not want to change,
Recognizing the difficulty in changing someone who is resistant to change
I don't want to change
Expressing a reluctance or lack of desire to change
Frighten by actions I run and hide from myself to numb my feelings
Fear-driven actions lead to self-isolation and emotional numbness
But I can't hide forever as my liver dries up the truth
Awareness that avoidance has consequences, with the liver symbolizing physical and emotional damage
It's found its way to the surface in your eye
The truth emerges and becomes visible in the eyes of oneself and others
It's found its way to the surface in a friends eye
