| Codeine – Loss Leader Lyrics | 1 year ago |

Loss Leader certainly is about the endless misery of depression. “Can’t take this loss loop anymore, anymore.” The concept of loss leader as mentioned by lastrites (intentionally lowering the cost of an item to draw in repeat purchases), gives another meaning to how it feels being dazed in a stupor everywhere you go. Self worth being reduced to an almost non-existent state of meaninglessness allows anyone who is approached to immediately understand the tension of angst; loss of desire or care to try. Purportedly before the sadness, these true, deep feelings of a somber outlook were guarded; only the closest can know, only the closest will allow oneself to open up. And anyway, life was better before. There was no need to open up about these feelings as those feelings did not exist to this extent. The utmost desire to have a connection of comfort eats away, needing everyone to know how oneself is felt-- if not spoken but in appearance. Everyone knowing, results in loss of value. There’s no purpose to be, since there is no worth (value) in having to be. As FadeToBlack123 points out, “Far from home, far from home,” is running away from what was home. What was safety. Get as far away from what was home as possible. The value and meaning of one as a person, is most valuable at home. The price is too high for whoever is at home to pay. It’s easier being with other people or things or activities than to pay the price of having to overcome the troubles at home. Ultimately, home will never go away as “the moon against my neck” is a reminder of that. I like how FadeToBlack123’s compares drowning out at sea to running away from repressed emotions. Wailing as if to signal for someone in the sea, drifting away far down below, resurfacing on the shore. The shore, while somewhere to rest, doesn’t provide what is needed to have a meaningful existence. You have to go back to swim. It’s your choice to go back home or have water run down, run down, run down until you inevitably drown in your own self-hatred. |
