Cut My Lip Lyrics

I'll keep on trying
Might as well
If you decide
All is well
I'll keep on trying
Might as well
If you decide
All is well

Though I am bruised
Face of contusions
Know I'll keep moving
Though I am bruised
Face of contusions
Know I'll keep moving
Know I'll keep moving

Rust around the rim
Drink it anyway
I cut my lip
Isn't what I want
Blood is on my tongue
I cut my lip

I keep on going back
Even though it's me I abuse
I'll keep on going back
Even...

Though I am bruised
Face of contusions
Know I'll keep moving
Though I am bruised
Face of contusions
Know I'll keep moving
Know I'll keep moving

Rust around the rim
Drink it anyway
I cut my lip
Isn't what I want
Blood is on my tongue
I cut my lip
Oh, oh
I cut my lip
Oh, oh, yeah

I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion
I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion
I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion

Though I am bruised
Face of contusions
Know I'll keep moving
Know I'll keep moving

Rust around the rim
Drink it anyway
I cut my lip
Isn't what I want
Blood is on my tongue
I cut my lip
I cut my lip

I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion
I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion
I don't mind at all
Lean on my pride
Lean on my pride
I'm a lion

I interpret this song as being about going through struggles in your mind and in the real world, and that would be the cut lip, but you keep moving. And you try to be like a lion; like maybe that means being courageous through these struggles and maybe helping other people.

Resigned to a shitty situation. Trying to remind yourself you're ' a lion' but keep flogging dead horse and you're really not. If 'YOU decide' all is well... IF I try and speak, nothing changes.. I just repeatedly hurt myself on the rusty rim. Lean on my pride.. maybe out of pride you can't get out of this situation. Gotta stick with it.

I keep on going back 'even though it's me I abuse'. Pride stops you throwing in the towel, will put up with whatever you give me, I'm a lion (for you).

To me this song is about addiction. "Rust around the rim" represents the drug or thing that the writer KNOWS will hurt him, "drink it anyway" is the overwhelming urge to use despite knowing the consequences. "Bruised face of contusions" represents how addiction changes the person, both physically and mentally. The "I dont mind at all, lean on my pride, I'm a lion" really talks to me, being a leo. What it means is unclear to me though
