Deadbolt Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Thirdhandmedia 

Cover art for Deadbolt lyrics by Thrice

This is a poetic and anonymous way to discuss alcohol or drug addiction. Deadbolts awaken from Deja Vu dreams…imagine someone with an addiction getting into the liquor cabinet late each evening. It’s four in the morning you know where they will be. Abandoning caution and “asleep at the wheel” is a metaphor..he’s no longer in control of his own vessel. He can taste the booze and feel the buzz before it even hits his lips. She calls him from the doorway. Stolen water is sweet. The Bible references from Thrice are no necessarily religious. The Bible is just life lessons collected over time and passed down to help people to avoid making the same mistakes. Thrice’s songs all use a collection of stories and philosophy that helped Dustin. This proverb just illustrates the difference between wisdom and folly and the fine line between. Sin or addiction tells us we will feel better and relieve pain through sin but we know it’s not true..but we choose to ignore it. Give me my poison ☠️
