[Intro] When I was thirteen I bought a scally cap looked up to the older guys who drank at the rat. Couldn’t wait to grow up just to drink with the crew put my name on the map and have a social few. [Interlude] [Verse] I recall when I was small I thought I’d be legend soon but that was then and this is now a harder road cannot be found don’t get me wrong good times were had sometimes the fun outweighed the bad but all in all now said and done I can recall more bad than fun [Chorus] It’s killing me the answer’s here it’s plain to see it’s taken me I’m half the man I thought I’d be. It’s killing me it’s taken years but now I see I’m not the man I thought I’d be [Verse] I’d fight them all big or small angel dust and Bud tall collars up and fists the same protect your friends and family name had my lumps received a few but not near what I deserved some say this life’s my punishment some say this life’s my just deserve. [Ending] It’s killing me the answer’s here it’s plain to see it’s taken me I’m half the man I thought I’d be. Caps and bottles are killing me. Caps and bottles are killing me Caps and bottles are killing me.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie d'une jeunesse insouciante, où l'auteur se rappelle avoir rêvé de devenir une légende en buvant avec ses amis. Au fil des années, il réalise que la vie est bien plus complexe et parfois douloureuse que ce qu'il avait imaginé. Ses experiences, bien que marquées par des bons moments, sont souvent assombries par des luttes personnelles et des désillusions. Il ressent un profond désarroi, comprenant qu’il n’est pas devenu l’homme qu’il espérait être, et que ses choix, symbolisés par des bouteilles et des casquettes, ont eu un coût émotionnel élevé.
