(Written by A Human)

1 - "Ecstasy"

Don't tell me I'm dying, that I've lost my mind.
Don't tell me I'm changing, from all the bad times.
But thank you for coming, on this dark day
Take from me my coppers, and lead me to my way...
I'm headed, By the Way, Into a Private Hell
By the Way, Into a Private Hell
By the Way, Into a Private Hell
Lying in the dirt, with a mouthful of dust.
Swoop down and scoop me out, pretty watchers from above.
I'm far from a person, and I'm hours from a friend.
Soon enough I'll be near the bend.
Why aren't the stars, still above my head?
Why is my cough, turning so red?
Down the road, if there's angels in the trees.
Their soft singing, will fill you so full of peace.
On your long journey, past the river Styx.
In the dead trees, they'll make you wish,
Your lost soul, had a chance of hope.
You almost looked back, even though...
Your, By the Way, Into a Private Hell




By the Way, Into a Private Hell
By the Way, Into a Private Hell

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "By the Way" by A Human and his Stds explore the theme of personal struggle and the search for inner peace. The use of religious and mythological references creates a surreal and evocative atmosphere. The first verse sets the tone of defiance against those who underestimate the singer's ability to cope with hardship. The second verse, however, reveals the vulnerability and isolation of the singer, who is facing a critical moment of his life. In this moment of despair, the singer clings to the hope of salvation and redemption, symbolized by the angels and the river Styx. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the idea of a cyclical journey towards self-discovery and the possibility of escape from one's inner demons.
