Addict With a Pen Lyrics

Hello
We haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I
Haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you, I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water

Water

I try desperately to run through the sand
As I hold the water in the palm of my hand
'Cause it's all that I have and it's all that I need and
The waves of the water mean nothing to me
But I try my best and all that I can
To hold tightly onto what's left in my hand
But no matter how, how tightly I will strain
The sand will slow me down and the water will drain
I'm just being dramatic, in fact, I'm only at it again
As an addict with a pen, who's addicted to the wind
As it blows me back and forth, mindless, spineless, and pretend
Of course I'll be here again, see you tomorrow, but it's the end of today
End of my ways as a walking denial
My trial was filed as a crazy suicidal head case
But you specialize in dying, you hear me screaming "father"
And I'm lying here just crying, so wash me with your water

Water

Hello
I haven't talked in quite some time
I know
I haven't been the best
Of sons, hello, I've been traveling in the desert of my mind
And I
I haven't found a drop
Of life
I haven't found a drop
Of you
I haven't found a drop
I haven't found a drop
Of water

What is the Meaning of Addict With a Pen?

A poignant exploration of inner turmoil and the struggle for redemption, this song paints a vivid picture of a soul lost in its own desert. The artist likens his state of mind to a barren landscape, yearning for life's essential water - perhaps symbolic of hope, love or relief. The desperation and futility is palpable as he tries to hold onto fleeting moments of solace, only to be swept away by the relentless winds of his addiction. The repeated pleas to a distant father figure suggest an urgent need for guidance and salvation. A powerful confession from an 'addict with a pen', this song is an emotional journey through self-doubt, despair and the relentless pursuit of absolution.
