GENERATION
Drop Decay Lyrics

All alone on a Saturday night
Feeling lonely and isolated on a weekend night

My eyes are heavy
Feeling tired and worn out emotionally

I think I've lost my sight
Feeling blindsided by life and unsure of what lies ahead

It's such a shame
Expressing sadness and regret for the way things have turned out

To let the time slip away
Being aware of how quickly time passes and feeling helpless to stop it

The hours pass
Feeling helpless and watching time go by

But I cant try to escape
Feeling trapped and unable to escape from one's problems

My Generation
Referring to the singer's generational peers and their experiences

Stuck on their
Being unable to move past

Self Medication
Using drugs or alcohol to cope with problems

We Count the days
Waiting for time to pass, often impatiently

Like walking on a tightrope
Feeling like every decision is precarious and could go wrong at any moment

to feel alive
Suggesting that the singer's generation engages in risky behavior to feel something

But I'm riding on my own high.
Implies that the singer doesn't need external vices, they are content on their own

Give it up for me
Asking for recognition for personal achievements

Give it up for all your friends see
Encouraging others to support and recognize their peers

We're more than just the liars
Acknowledging that there is more to people than their flaws

The fighters
Referring to those who face challenges and overcome them

defending social insecurity
Working to overcome societal challenges and stigmas

We're
Continuing the description of the singer's generational peers

Young and stupid
Admitting that the singer's generation makes mistakes and is naive

Bored and careless
Acknowledging the apathy and lack of concern of the singer's generation

Here's to the promises
Acknowledging the many broken promises within society

Broken
Suggesting that things are irreparable and damaged beyond repair

and bent
Acknowledging that things are not perfect and never will be

Forget it all
Suggesting that the only way to move past things is to let them go

Set it aside
Implies that the singer will be able to move forward once they stop dwelling on the past

I Shoot the sky for a sign
Looking for guidance or inspiration from the universe

Painted in glitter and wine tonight
Describing an indulgent and perhaps slightly reckless night out

Bittersweet sour hearts on the rocks
Describing an emotional situation where people feel both happy and sad at the same time

Filled to the brims of our cups
Using alcohol as a coping mechanism

To survive
Suggesting that people need to find ways to cope and survive in difficult situations

La la la la la la
A nonsensical but catchy refrain often found in pop music

La La
Continuing the refrain

My Generation
Reinforcing the importance of the singer's generational peers

Stuck on their
Echoing the sentiment expressed earlier in the song

Self Medication
Describing the way in which people try to cope with their problems

We Count the days
Repeating an earlier line

Like walking on a tightrope
Repeating an earlier line

to feel alive
Repeating an earlier line

But I'm riding on my own high.
Repeating an earlier line
