Red Shahan - Desperate Company

Copied!edit Lyrics

I up and wrecked myself today
For reasons I won’t explain
I had a purpose in my hands
But it slipped my mind again
I do my best to fade away on my own
But the thought of a slow bar takes control of me
So I’m on my way now for desperate company

Lock the door behind the world
I can’t stand it anymore
I climb upon my favorite stool
And disappear into the blue

I sit and think about all my mistakes
So sell me your poison and call me a mystery
Cuz I’m on my way now for desperate company

Shut the box and turn the lights down
And let the music turn me loose
Imma be here for a while
A wreck that I will choose

I like the taste of your curiosity
So sell me another and I’ll be history
Cuz I’m in the hole now with my desperate company

"Desperate Company" by Red Shahan is a haunting and introspective song that delves into the depths of self-destructive behavior. The lyrics paint a picture of a troubled individual who seeks solace in alcohol and isolation as a means of escape from their inner turmoil. The raw emotion in Shahan's vocals coupled with the melancholic melody create a sense of vulnerability and desperation that is palpable throughout the song. The narrator's admission of their mistakes and their reliance on toxic coping mechanisms like alcohol serve as a stark reminder of the destructive nature of addiction. "Desperate Company" is a poignant and powerful track that captures the struggle of trying to find comfort in the midst of inner turmoil.
