BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
My Story (lyrics inspired by Shane Koyczan's to this day project)
- I am a broken branch
- grafted onto a different family tree
- adopted
- but not because my parents opted
- for a different destiny
- I was three
- when I became a mixed drink
- of one part left alone
- and two parts tragedy
- I started therapy
- in 8th grade
- I have a personality made up of pills
- I live like the uphills are mountains
- and the downhills are cliffs
- four fifths of which are suicidal
- a tidal wave of anti depressants
- and an adolescence
- of being called popper
- one part because the pills
- and ninety nine parts because of the cruelty
- when the people I call my mom and dad
- had the audacity to tell me
- “get over it” as if depression
- is something that can be remedied
- I tried to kill myself
- I was only in grade ten
- I was laying there staring death in the face
- I believed that the blade was my only friend
- only then did I realize I could change my fate
- but even though I've changed
- to this day I remain the same
- I am a stick on TNT lit from both ends
- I could describe to you in detail
- the way the sky bends
- in the moments before it’s about to fall
- and despite an army of friends
- who all call me an inspiration
- I remain a conversation
- piece between people who can’t understand
- sometimes becoming drug free
- has less to do with addiction
- and more to do with sanity
