Please don't talk about me
With all your friends
Stuff that big bottomless, cup in my hand, fill up this riddled with curses old man,
Acting like enemies, out of my way, still won't break up with the things I have made
I'll never leave you
So easy to say
I never loved you
Stay the Hell out of my way
Sick of being on my game
And understated
Wanna throw it all away
And open up with something new
Taken all that I can take
I'm gonna make it
Wanna throw it all away
And open up with something new
Brand new
That's it's over I'm done give me the keys to the car
I'll put the pedal to the metal as you're falling apart
And I don't wanna see the phony look on your face
I should have never fallen for it in the first place
Touch me, fool me, tame me, make me all about it
Then I bleed, you scream, shame me, I'll leave, over-dramatic
Nah, I don't do that anymore
No people, just places I adore
Too fed, I lost the feeling
Leave it alone, I'm asleep, so I'm healing
All great things have battle scars
You wanna swap this belief with a greater art?
My flesh road has only grown
Into a mattress fit for mounting
I've faced this allergy it won't go away, upgraded salary, employment virus aid
I've faced this allergy it's everything I thought that I could fake
I'll live in the moment
You gave me a reason
Then I fell asleep in the bathroom
Mixing magic potions
Looking for a meaning
Get myself out of this costume
Sick and tired of counting
Bubbles in the ceiling
Feel like a prisoner in my head
I was only trying
To forget the feeling
I get when I think of you
Oh, beautiful and tragic
I see me riding off, off through the clouds, I see me riding off, off to the bitter end
I see me riding off, off through the clouds, I see me writing off, off all my bitter ends

God. Bless. DGD. "Instant Gratification" was the first album I listened to from these guys (I'm now working my way back in time haha). Even though I'm a little late in the development of DGD I have so say, I'm super impressed with this album. There will probably be more songs from these guys cause instrumentally (them riffs dude...) and lyrically they are no doubt in the "Original" category in my book.
Just today I looked at the lyrics to this song and the chorus really hit me as I was reading along.
"Sick of being on my game

Taken all that I can take
I'm gonna make it
Wanna throw it all away
And open up with something new

Lately I've been going through a rough spot in my life with the whole deal of how I view myself and how I think other's view me("feel like a prisoner in my head"). I'm trying to work it out still, but just listening to this song gave me this feeling like I can actually do something about this issue/s I'm dealing with. I AM sick of being "understated" and I DO "wanna throw it all away and open up with something new". And even though I don't know it right now, hell yes... "I'm gonna make it". I have too. Not just for myself but for anyone else that might happen to need me in the future. I can't change the world but I can can change my world (you included). And doing that in turn can change my community. That I truly believe in. Because "all great things have battle scars". Without that battle it would have been too easy and I mean..."easy" is for the weak. Taking the easy way out, most the time it will end up at a dead end.
...Maybe this isn't so much about interpreting the song/s then it is about how I feel the song can shape my life lol Oh well...
Thank you DGD for this song <3

RandomI'm going to do a cliche thing here and post some song interpretations/lyrics. I don't know why I decided to do this now but with most of the music I listen to people only judge on the outer appearance of the sound. They don't stop to appreciate t...
