Cover art for Darkest Days lyrics by Good Riddance

well the lyrics are way off it should be

pullin down toxins from the atmosphere making all of my decisons based on fear i never gave a fuck about what i could be declared a private war on authority i got what you need cause im a bad seed running on adrenaline and living off greed im tired of being im sick of my scene looking for the end or a place i can finally come clean

Cause I remember one time something to live for, now so long ago faces always are changing lies in disguise for all the things we know one time something to live for somehow I've lost my way those times have pissed away now echo in my darkest days

Walking every day thinking that I know best wearing my contempt like a bullet-proof vest on my way gonna make on mine rollin in the gutter just to kill some time but I was dead wrong and now it's all gone I won't become the fool that I've abused for so long the lines played out I've gotta get back chase away the negative and throw away the useless track

i've seen things I hope I never see again (There's another place to fall) I don't want to have to bury any more friends (There's another friend to call) Living on the edge of a sign of our times (There's a world beyond yourself) Dying in the wreckage we create with our crimes (There are those who tried to help)

as for the meaing i agree with Don 44 i think its about someone whos trying to come out of an addiction

be it depression or drugs but thats just my two cents.
