Vultures Lyrics

Close the curtains, cash me in
Gather photographs of the devil you let in
Digging deep inside my soul
I don't know where to turn everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?
Keep me numb, I'll follow direction
A pawn to pass around and be bled until I'm dry
It's hard to see what's underneath, is it me?
Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?
For so long all I've known, all I've seen's green lights
Fuck your greed, all I need's somewhere to catch my breath, rest my head, and ease my mind
I've been holding on but my grip's not what it used to be
I'm much older, I'm bitter, I'm jaded I'm lost
Can somebody give me a sign?
Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?

Close the curtains, cash me in
Gather photographs of the devil you let in
Digging deep inside my soul
I don't know where to turn everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?
Keep me numb, I'll follow direction
A pawn to pass around and be bled until I'm dry
It's hard to see what's underneath, is it me?
Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?
For so long all I've known, all I've seen's green lights
Fuck your greed, all I need's somewhere to catch my breath, rest my head, and ease my mind
I've been holding on but my grip's not what it used to be
I'm much older, I'm bitter, I'm jaded I'm lost
Can somebody give me a sign?
Where do I turn?
Everywhere I look these vultures burn the life right outta me
Do I run, or lay down and die?
Is it time to close my eyes?

What is the Meaning of Vultures?

When the world feels like it's filled with circling predators waiting to tear you apart, sometimes the weight becomes almost unbearable. This powerful track explores the exhausting battle against those who seek to exploit and drain us - whether they're industry vultures, toxic relationships, or our own inner demons. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone at their breaking point, questioning whether to keep fighting or give in to defeat. There's a raw honesty in the narrator's admission of feeling older, bitter, and lost, highlighting how prolonged exposure to greed and manipulation can wear down even the strongest spirit. The song captures that universal moment of desperately needing to catch your breath and find your way when surrounded by people who only want to take. It's a haunting reflection on survival in a world where not everyone has your best interests at heart.
