Well Enough Alone Lyrics

Cover art for Well Enough Alone lyrics by Chevelle

This song is about (Like everyone says, just clarifying) an alcohol addiction, not drugs. He is talking about a friend he lost to alcohol in the late 90's.

"Hooked on Substance, Digging Deeper, Can't Reveal" speaks about (of course) the addict being drawn in by alcohol, and unable to see the disaster behind it.

"So fed up, What's with the scenes?" Talks about his mind frame and his denial. His refusal to react when something bad happens.

"Penetrates my skin, so sensitive, makes me sick" speaks about when he finally realizes what is happening to his friend.

"The old and the aged, pulled and never knew what hit" speaks about those who have already had their share of alcohol and disasters.

My favorite part, and I'm sure yours too. The echoing voices sequence is representing the final disaster striking, going crazy, beating your friends or family or even killing them, becoming angry, finally losing it, or even death.

Clear as day. Best song by Chevelle.
