long day lay me low.
lay me low.
head burning drunk.
I don't need none
that's right man I'm fine
but what I've got to know,
is have I wasted time?
My eyes are blind
to almost everything you see.
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- you recognize me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
under the silk,
in a box of pine,
and that's dying -
not a single other life
ever will have felt my price
is it worth the risk to be revived?
and I'm dying, I'm hollow
- It won't deny me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
on the last day
they'll take it all away
on and outta my mind
gimme some medicine...
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- it won't deny me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
yeah, one more time...
long day kill me long
I don't need none
that's right man I'm fine
but what I've got to know,
is have I wasted time?
My eyes are blind
to almost everything you see.
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- you recognize me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
under the silk,
in a box of pine,
and that's dying -
not a single other life
ever will have felt my price
is it worth the risk to be revived?
and I'm dying, I'm hollow
- It won't deny me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
on the last day
they'll take it all away
on and outta my mind
gimme some medicine...
and I'm drowning through sorrow
- it won't deny me -
be me {for a change (fucked)}
yeah, one more time...
WHAT A RIFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this song to me is about the pain of being a addict
he's saying how he's ignoring offers help for his addiction, but hes saying it may well kill him and he doesnt know if he should go to rehab, is it worth the risk?
The speaker compares his alcoholism ("eyes burning drunk") to death ("under the silk / in a box of pine") and wonders if rehab is necessary ("Am I wasting time? ... / Is it worth the risk to be revived"). But even as he questions the point of rehab, he admits that his lifestyle is draining him of life ("I'm hollow").
