Warm sun feed me up
The singer is seeking comfort from the sun because they are feeling exhausted and down.

I'm leery loaded up
The singer is cautious but also under the influence of something.

Loathing for a change

And I slip some Boil away

Swallowed, followed

Heavy about everything but my love
The singer is burdened by many things in their life, but their love for someone is what keeps them going.

Swallowed, sorrowed

I'm with everyone and yet not
The artist is surrounded by people but still feels alone.

Just wanted to be myself

Hey you said you would love to try some
Someone offered the artist something that could potentially harm them.

Hey you said you would love to die some
Someone suggested that the singer should engage in risky behavior that could be potentially dangerous.

In the middle of a world on a fishhook
The artist feels trapped in a world that is controlling and painful.

You're the wave, you're the wave, you're the wave
The singer is addressing someone who is causing them to feel overwhelmed, like a wave.

Swallowed, borrowed
The singer is taking on the problems of others and allowing them to consume them.

Heavy about everything but my love
The singer is weighed down by issues, except for their love for someone.

Swallowed, hollowed
The artist is feeling empty inside and unable to escape this feeling.

Sharp about everyone but yourself
The artist is quick to judge others but is unable to see their own flaws.

Swallowed, oh no
The singer is consumed by something and is unable to escape it.

I'm with everyone and yet not
The singer is surrounded by others but still feels alone.

I'm with everyone and you're not

Piss on self-esteem

Forward busted knee

Sick head, blackened lungs

And I'm a simple selfish son
The artist recognizes that they are only thinking about themselves.

Got to get away from here
The singer needs to leave their current situation because it is causing them distress.

Miss the one that I love a lot
The singer is feeling the absence of someone they love deeply.
