On “startofnothing,” Barrios opens Opium by recalling situations where depression, self-doubt, and suicidal thoughts get the better of him, ultimately bringing him to the conclusion that at the very least, he’d like to enjoy his time on Earth before he dies.
[Intro]
Dreamin
I’m trying just to learn
The outcome
And if you want me to return to
Just another moment there for me
That’s calling inside of me
And I want to reach out to you
But that's far gone
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s all inside of me
Maybe it could lead to tragedy
And maybe it’s for the best of me
But I don’t know if it’s what I need
And maybe you’ll try to talk to me
And maybe you might show relief
But I don’t want to be all of me
In front of you cause you might leave
[Verse]
Patience
I’m trying to wait
For what you
Want to make of me
But I don’t know if I wanna think this way
And I don’t know if you think that’s okay
But I’m not here to know what you think
Just to get a sеnse of calming
[Bridge]
But I just wanna see you happy
And I wanna see it last a while
But I don’t think I’ll be hеre too long
So I'd like to share a smile
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s all inside of me
Maybe it could lead to tragedy
And maybe it’s for the best of me
But I don’t know if it’s what I need
And maybe you’ll try to talk to me
And maybe you might show relief
But I don’t want to be all of me
In front of you cause you might leave
