Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And gave me shiny chains
You've taken all my doubts away
Replaced it with this shame
You took away all my problems
Yeah, you bet
And then you gave me a brand new set
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I thought I would ride the high so high until I can't be reached
By gravity
You won't catch me
Won't catch me
Everyone except me
But I soon realized
The rules apply to me I'm sorely mistaken
Aching now
Takin' out
All my rage
And now I'm not afraid
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
In the song "Hydrochloride" by GhosteMane, the artist discusses how a particular substance, presumably a drug, has taken away all of his pain, doubts, and problems. However, in doing so, the substance has also left the artist with a sense of shame and a new set of problems. He states that he is no longer afraid because he is not in love with this substance anymore. The song seems to be a reflection on addiction and the negative consequences that come with it, such as shame and problems.
The artist then goes on to talk about how he thought he could ride the high of the substance, but eventually realized that he too is subject to its rules and negative effects. He expresses his pain and anger at being in this situation, taking out his rage.
Overall, the song seems to be a commentary on addiction and the toll it takes on a person's life. The artist acknowledges that the substance has taken away his pain and problems, but recognizes that it has also caused him shame and new problems.
