Tightrope
Teo Laza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bottle in my hand with my eyes closed
I'm a addict in denial
I hurt other people with a smile
Empty cans piling up in my bedroom
Think I passed out in the rest room Got no money in my pocket and the rents due
I should probably go and get some help soon
Just the thought of it hurts
Deep down I know that it all could be worse
It feels like I'm honestly not from this earth
cm I even human I'm not even sure
Just cause I'm nice don't mistake it for weakness
I know they won't see shit the way that I see it
I made an agreement to pray to my demons
I told them to come over later this evening
I question myself cause I know I'm not normal
I don't got no morals I'm broken its horrible
The price that I paid for this wasn't affordable
Heart is too broken it isn't restorable
The more that I pour from this 40 I'm faded
Ignoring the warnings it's sort of outdated
It's like I love it the more that I hate it
Yea I'm sorta morbid I'm going to crazy
Merk
I've been walking on a tightrope
Bottle in my hand with my eyes closed
I'm a addict in denial
I hurt other people with a smile
Empty cans piling up in my bedroom
Think I passed out in the rest room Got no money in my pocket and the rents due
I should probably go and get some help soon
Keep telling myself I'm gonna change
Told myself I'd start tomorrow yesterday
Never quitting but I might go on a break
I don't think I'm ever seeing heaven's gates
Wish I made better choices growing up being sober sucks
So I'm always drunk can't stop myself until I'm throwing up
I hate everyone but I'm so in love with this bottle
Most of my problems my own fucking fault
That's a hard pill to swallow I feel so hollow
Can't walk in a straight line so I hobble
No morals around me like I'm in a brothel
The lyrics of "Tightrope" by Teo Laza paint a vivid picture of a person struggling with addiction and denial. The singer describes themselves as walking on a tightrope, symbolizing the delicate balance they are trying to maintain in their life. With a bottle in hand and eyes closed, they are navigating their challenges blindly, indicating a lack of control and awareness.
The singer acknowledges their addiction and its destructive impact on others, admitting to hurting people with a smile. The imagery of empty cans piling up in their bedroom and passing out in the restroom illustrates the chaos and neglect caused by their substance abuse. They also express financial struggles and the looming responsibility of rent, highlighting the consequences of their actions and the need for seeking help.
The inner turmoil and self-doubt of the singer are palpable in the lyrics. They question their own humanity and struggle with conflicting emotions – being nice yet not wanting to be perceived as weak. The mention of praying to their demons and feeling disconnected from the world reflects a deep internal conflict and a sense of alienation.
The lyrics delve into the cycle of self-destruction and the difficulty of breaking free from it. Despite a desire for change and self-improvement, the singer feels trapped in their destructive habits. They express a sense of resignation and hopelessness, lamenting their past choices and the grip of addiction. The repeated imagery of a bottle and the consequences it brings underscore the destructive nature of their behavior and the struggle to find a way out of the darkness.
