Problems no one can explain
A new day but nothing′s changed
I need something for the pain
Doctor, please, I need a friend
Shut up, take your medicine
Oxy makes me itch
You can take it or leave
Alpha, Omega, the cycle repeats
I got time, or does it have me?
Alpha, Omega, the cycle repeats

The lyrics of Trash Boat's song "Alpha Omega" depict a struggle with internal turmoil and a desire to escape from the problems that seem to persist in the singer's life. The opening lines suggest a sense of resignation, as the singer expresses frustration in facing unexplainable problems day after day. They long for something that can alleviate their pain, which is reflected in the line "I need something for the pain." The singer then turns to a doctor, hoping for a friend and a solution, but is instead told to simply take their medicine. The reference to Oxy, which is a pain medication, highlights a reliance on substances to numb the emotional and physical pain.
The chorus, "Alpha, Omega, the cycle repeats," suggests a sense of repetition and being trapped in a never-ending cycle. The phrase "I got time, or does it have me?" reflects the singer's uncertainty and feeling of being controlled by time and circumstances. This cycle and the feeling of being stuck are further emphasized with the repetition of the word "idiot" throughout the song. It could be interpreted as the singer's self-deprecating thoughts and frustration with themselves for not being able to escape their problems.
The second verse continues to explore the singer's feelings of being out of options and their life being in disarray. The line "My 20's pissed away" implies a sense of regret and wasted time. The singer considers re-evaluating their life but acknowledges that they often fall into destructive patterns and rely on vices. The reference to rolling the dice suggests a reckless approach to life and decision-making.
The bridge introduces a shift in tone, where the singer expresses a desire for honesty and truth. They mention being betrayed and hurt, and contemplate the potential meaninglessness of leaving this world. There is a sense of desperation in the line "Bullet carve a hole in my head and shit as real as it gets." The following lines mention hallucinations, sedation, and a struggle to keep fighting. The reference to meeting demons suggests a battle with personal demons and inner struggles.
The outro of the song takes on a more defiant tone, with the singer proclaiming their resilience and willingness to resurrect. The repetition of the line "Watch me resurrect" suggests a determination to overcome challenges and come back stronger. The ending repetition of "You're a fucking idiot" could be interpreted as the singer embracing their flaws and reclaiming the negative labels they have been given, turning them into a form of empowerment.
