The song "The Bottle" by Hawser seems to be about struggling with inner demons and the self-inflicted pain of life. The lyrics talk about feeling weighed down by fate and the hurtful fantasy of life, with no one to turn to but oneself. The line "I forgive to some extent 'cause the bottle won't heal shit" suggests that the singer is dealing with their pain through alcohol, but recognizes that it's not a real solution. Overall, the song appears to explore the struggles of addiction, self-forgiveness, and the realization that relying on substances like alcohol won't bring true healing. It's a raw and honest look at the dark side of life and the challenge of finding true healing and forgiveness.
