I really hate how people go around saying "this and that" is garbage. Like most of In Flames songs, this one also has lyrics you can take in many ways, and can think about. Yeah, it's not one of their best, but it's pretty good and a decent song off this ingenious album.
The most imporant rule of poetry is that you see what you want to see, a reflection of what's inside you. I can write some bullshit and give it to you, yet you may interpret it as a masterpiece, seeing things from inside. If you see things as total garbage, either you just don't get the song. or what you carry inside really is garbage, and you should go and listen to music without lyrics, cause you obviously haven't done enough thinking in life.
Yeah this song could be taken as a song of an alcoholic, but I like seeing it a little wider, more as being "bottled" inside, as a ship inside a bottle, locked up and unable to sail, locked inside emptiness and awkwardness of today, and afraid if tomorrow will come. Yet there is a way out, a way to channel the pain, there are the lyrics he writes, there is the person/people he writes to, hoping to reach her/them. He drinks himself "sober", drinks the illusion of alcohol/poetry/dreams, and manages to create
his world, his "Quiet Place", where he is the "King in his own mind". Yeah try connecting the song to others. The whole album is called "Soundtrack To Your Escape", right? The songs are standalone, but they do have a connection, yes? Don't take things so shallow.
