Wild Turkey
A Toast to Broken Dreams: Unveiling the Depths of 'Wild Turkey'
Lyrics
For all that passes
Reflecting on all that has passed.
And for all that kills me slow
Acknowledging the slow, destructive impact of certain experiences.
I raise a glass to thank you
Toasting in gratitude, possibly to cope with challenges.
A friend at the bottom of the bottle
Viewing alcohol as a companion in difficult times.
Thoughts wander back to you my sanctuary
Recalling thoughts of a significant person or place as a source of comfort.
And to the bar room that you stand in
Referencing a specific bar as a symbolic location.
A window's watch for many
Describing the bar as a place observed by many.
I won't stand behind and fight
Refusing to passively endure a situation.
It all alone in reprise
Expressing the challenge of facing difficulties alone.
I saw my dreams were bleeding out
Realizing that dreams are fading or failing.
Teeth falling out my recourse was blind
Experiencing a sense of loss or helplessness.
Rollin' with the semis
Using the metaphor of "rolling with the semis" to depict a reckless lifestyle.
Bastards laughing wild
Describing others' reactions as wild laughter.
As miles got left behind
Leaving behind significant distances or experiences.
Rev it up, never enough
Expressing a desire for intensity and excitement.
I'm ready now, ready now
Feeling prepared for a challenge or confrontation.
My dreams are drugged, not long enough
Acknowledging the influence of substance (possibly drugs) on dreams.
Steady now, steady now
Seeking stability and composure.
"When it's right, it's right, " it's said
Reflecting on the belief that things are right when they feel right.
So leave well enough alone
Advising against unnecessary interference when things are going well.
Pack it up, I've had enough
Deciding to move on or end a situation.
Cause' this place is the reason
Attributing a negative transformation to a specific place.
I am now a non-believer
Expressing a loss of faith or belief in something.
It must be hard to look me in the eyes
Addressing the difficulty of facing someone after a personal change.
I know
Recognizing a sense of knowing or understanding in the other person's eyes.
I can tell by what you say you're frustrated
Perceiving frustration in the other person's words.
I feel a little on edge, now I'm faded
Feeling on edge and faded, possibly from the effects of substances.
My dreams are drugged and not long enough
Reiterating the impact of substances on dreams.
For all that passes and for
Recalling and toasting to experiences and those in the know.
All those in the know
Acknowledging those with knowledge or awareness.
I raise one up to spite you
Toasting in defiance or opposition.
Wishing I was back there at Borden now
Expressing a desire to return to a specific place (Borden).
Though it doesn't mean that much to me
Downplaying the significance of a place in the current mental state.
In this wasted state of mind
Describing a mental state as wasted or impaired.
I know the break if dawn will recall it all
Anticipating that the morning will bring recollection.
But I'll get to sleep just fine tonight
Expecting to sleep well despite challenges.
To lullabies and cannons outside
Mentioning contrasting elements of calmness and external disturbances.
