The actual word 'popera' was first coined by Scott Paul-Young, a British theatre agent, to best describe the music that was being created by producer Malcolm Middleton and performed by the opera girl band 'Milan' for the first time at The Hippodrome, Leicester Square, London on the 9th August, 2001. Malcolm Middleton created the idea of an opera band mixing traditional opera with contemporary pop and dance music earlier in 2000. This unique package of a 'pop' boy band or girl band singing in an opera style later inspired acts such as Il Divo and Amici Forever.
The Drug In Me Is Reimagined
Falling in Reverse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I opened it to find death staring in my face
The feel of mortal stalking still reverberates
Everywhere I go, I drag this coffin just in case
My body's trembling sends shivers down my spine
Adrenaline kicks in, shifts into overdrive
Your secrets keep you safe, your lies keep you alive
Snake eyes every single time you roll with crooked dice
I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying "Feet, don't fail me now"
I've lost my goddamn mind, it happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here
Trying to consume, the drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery, can't you see?
I got these questions always running through my head
So many things that I would like to understand
If we are born to die and we all die to live
Then what's the point of living life if it just contradicts?
I felt the darkness as it tried to pull me down
The kind of dark that haunts a hundred-year-old house
I wrestle with my thoughts, I shook the hand of doubt
Running from my past, I'm praying "Feet, don't fail me now"
I've lost my goddamn mind, it happens all the time
I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here
Trying to consume, the drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery, can't you see?
I've lost myself
You tried to reach me, but you just can't help me
So long, goodbye
You tried to save me, it won't work this time 'cause now
I've lost my fucking mind, and there is no fucking time
I can't believe I'm actually meant to be here
Trying to consume, the drug in me is you
And I'm so high on misery, can't you see?
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Can't you, can't you, can't you see?
Can't you see?
The Drug In Me Is Reimagined by Falling in Reverse is a heart-wrenching ballad that explores the darker side of addiction and the search for purpose in life. The song opens with the singer hearing a knock on their door, only to find death staring them in the face. This encounter serves as a metaphor for their own mortality, as they come to grips with the realization that death is always lurking around the corner. As they reflect on their life, they feel as though they are dragging a coffin everywhere they go, symbolizing the weight of their past mistakes.
The lyrics then shift to the singer's struggles with addiction, as they try to fill the void in their life with a substance or a person. The line "Trying to consume, the drug in me is you" suggests that they are using a toxic relationship to replace the feeling of emptiness, which ultimately leads them to become "so high on misery." The chorus repeats the line "I've lost my goddamn mind," indicating that the singer has hit rock bottom and is struggling to find their way back to reality.
As the song progresses, the lyrics become more introspective and philosophical, with the singer questioning the meaning of life and the inevitability of death. They wonder what the point of living is if it only leads to death, and whether it's worth it to continue enduring hardships if they will ultimately end in disappointment. The song ends on a desperate note, with the singer admitting that they've lost their mind and that there is no time left to be saved.
Overall, Falling in Reverse's The Drug In Me Is Reimagined is a poignant and emotional exploration of addiction, mortality, and the search for purpose in life. The lyrics are raw and powerful, resonating with anyone who has ever struggled with their demons or felt lost in the world.
