Bitter is a pill of devotion

Is bitter really the pill of devotion?

Robbie Williams said so in his song “Last Days of Disco”. Let's think about that for a second. The lyrics tell you that this is about holding onto someone or something that is on its last leg. The creator is telling you that this is not a comeback of something gone. It is the statement that it never left. It cannot be taken away, even by those who are jealous or think that it was just something to do. Mind you, Robbie made this while going through struggles of sobriety and his songs on this album(Reality Killed the Video Star) will take on this trip. There is a song with just metaphors and he tells you at the beginning of the song!

Anyway, can bitterness be the pill of devotion. In a way, yes it can. We hold onto bitterness. We become devoted to the energy of bitterness. We devote our time and energy into hating someone or something. Think about all of those times that you were so bitter against someone that you missed moments in life that you could never get back. Don't believe me. Think about all of those times when you finished dating someone or ended a relationship and you spent so much time being angry at that person that you missed days, weeks, or months of your life because you just couldn't get over it. You were so mad, and you saw hatred and revenge as the only option. You put your life on hold to be bitter. That pill was so hard to swallow that you just let it sit on your tongue and dissolve. It left you in a state of rage and anger. The pill was the devotion to bitterness. Red pill? Knowledge and uncertainty and brutal truth? Blue pill? Security and blissful ignorance? Or maybe you crushed them and took both. The collective pill is now taking you into a blissful prison of truth. Doesn't make sense, does it? That's life for you. That is what bitterness does to you. It leaves you in a state of organized chaos or distortion.

Holding onto bitterness can be toxic for you. It can also be the driving force for someone's success. Some people use a bad relationship and its end to be the inspiration to do good things. I use my last relationship as inspiration to go back to college and get my degree. I was angry for a bit, yes. I was very upset and bitter. But the thing is that these things are taking us to a low that we need to be bitter to get back to a normal level. We are under the ground in our emotional and mental state, so we have to get bitter in order to resemble some kind of emotion and come back above ground.

Okay, so I mentioned this song at the beginning, so this is the link to hear it for yourself.
