Slow
Iamjakebars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drink to the bottom I go
Drink to the bottom alone
I drink until the bottle is gone
Drink until the world gets slow
I've been heavy drinking and slowly leaning
Been taking these shots because I'm broke in pieces
Coping ain't easy man life is hard
Of the past mistakes we made
Hearts of the world we break
An empty mind we crave
Going through a tough time
Got to unwind
Got a whole lot going on in my mind
Been a long rough ride on the down side
So I think about life and the sunshine
Early in the morning and my glass ain't full
Thinking bout life at the bottom of the pool
Drinking by the rails at the top of the roof
And I might as well jump then I think about you
Got a family to feed
Don't want this grief
Losing this battle they call a disease
An uphill journey and the road looking steep
And I'm feeling like I'm never going to reach my peak
Been through a lot and this shit still stinks
A lot is my fault so I feel no release
Broken in pieces I don't feel complete
So I practice my thoughts and my breathing techniques
Drink to the bottom I'm throwed
Drink to the bottom I go
Drink to the bottom alone
I drink until the bottle is gone
Drink until the world gets slow
Took another shot and I'm wasted now
Feeling like I really need to settle down
Sitting alone with no one around
Losing my mind not feeling proud
Cause I've made mistakes that I can't replace
Yet erase or save some face
I need a break a quick escape
Me and this bottle got some shit to say
So tell me what your mind is thinking
Then ask me for all of my reasons
So you can see all of my demons
I really don't mean it I promise no evil
They're staring at me like museums
But I don't know all of these people
Don't break me down and tear me to pieces
Then mix me with Seagram's that shit can be lethal
I'm blind to shit that's around me now
So I drink it down
In and out
Of consciousness and I'm losing sound
Can't see the ground or what it surrounds
Won't feel the pain of yesterday
Drink and sway at a steady pace
I've got to got to get away
So I'm downing this bottle at a heavy rate
Drink to the bottom I'm throwed
Drink to the bottom I go
Drink to the bottom alone
I drink until the bottle is gone
Drink until the world gets slow
