I totally agree with what you're saying, heartsfilthylesson. This sounds exactly like a bad experience I had with LSD. "There is this game I play Try to make myself okay Try so hard to make the peices all fit Smash it apart just for the fuck of it" In other words, he gets high, that being the "game", to try to make himself feel better. But bad trips makes it so nothing makes sense, so that's what he means by "Try so hard to make the peices all fit". "Smash it apart just for the fuck of it" refers to how he messed himself up for a reason that doesn't seem worth it anymore. "gotta get back to the bottom" This means obviously that he wants to be normal again, get off the bad trip. "The big come down, isn't this what you wanted?" I don't know if this is exactly what he means, but with my experience, coming down was something I wanted to get through, but it was the worst torture imaginable. "find a place with the failed and forgotten" Once again, with my experience, when I was coming down from my trip, I remembered so many things I had forgotten. Some good, some bad, but either way, they made me cry. "isn't that really what you wanted now?" It's horrible. He wishes he was still tripping and not going through the pain of coming down. "there is no place I can go there is no way I can hide it feels like it keeps coming from the inside" It feels like there is no way out. It feels he is trapped in his own screwed up mind. "there is a hate that burns within the most desperate place I have ever been try to get back to where I'm from the closer I get the worse it becomes the closer I get the worse it becomes" He just hates himself for getting himself messed up. He wants so badly to be normal again, but the longer he is like this, the more it feels like he will never get back. |
