Thats how I feel at work.
"Drop the spoon"
"What day is this?
Can I have a hit"
Drug reference I'm guessing?
"The pain is... my old friend."
Cliche line, I'd change it or reword it if I were you.
haha... yeah. The first line you picked out is basically shooting at the idea that as long as we're all alive... we're only dying.
The spoon is indeed a drug reference... I don't do heroine or any drugs like that... so no worries! Just a little fictional writing... That's what I was shooting for with the "flame... show me my way to the spoon"/"warm face"/"I'll be home soon"/and so forth...
That "Pain is..." line is my least favorite by far... just like you said. I couldn't come up with anything at the time so I just wrote that in because it follows the basic structure I was going for... Basically it's just a guideline so I remember the flow of the song. I'm going to come up with something to put in there... But I only have 6 syllables to work with so I'm going to have to explore.... haha. It'll come to me.
Thanks for the feedback!
