Psychotron Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It slipped her mind that somewhere out there
Could be the reason of it all
But where?
Where is she to go?
Out from here.
Indifference was a friend, bottle was her only love
What she drank was made of tears that her restless heart
She? s out of the game
In which she plays
Different roles against the time.
Been to Paris, been to Tokyo
? Punk? said everybody else
Yet she started realizing
She can? t go on like this any more
No more!
Finally she made up her mind
And stopped pursuing former aims.
Took her life in his own hands
And started taking to sobriety
As her life was slowly off she did confess me a perfect truth:
Never say you search for it
As finding it is impossible...
The lyrics of Psychotron's song "Alcohol" tell the story of a woman who seems to have been lost in her search for happiness and meaning in life. She has been soul searching for a long time, but never really found what she was looking for. She is aware that somewhere out there, there could be the reason for it all, but she doesn't know where to go to find it. Indifference has become her friend, and alcohol her only love. The alcohol that she drinks is made of the tears that her restless heart has always shed. She is out of the game and has been playing different roles against time. She has been to Paris, been to Tokyo, and the punk scene seems to be the only thing that everybody else cares about. However, she started realizing that she can't continue living like this, and she made up her mind to stop pursuing former aims. She took her life in her own hands and started taking steps towards sobriety. As her life was slowly moving away, she confessed a perfect truth that we should never say we search for something as finding it is impossible.
The lyrics of "Alcohol" are deeply insightful and capture the story of many people who find themselves lost in their search for happiness and meaning in life. The song explores themes of love, loss, and self-discovery, and how alcohol can become an escape for people in search of answers. The lyrics also show that sometimes, the answers we seek may not be found by going to different places or trying different things, but by taking our lives in our own hands and making the necessary changes to become the best version of ourselves.
