Down into Muddy Water
Sinking in Desolation: Aaron Neville's "Muddy Water
Lyrics
Now you left me here and went out on the town
Feeling abandoned as you left for the town
I don't know when I've been so down
Experiencing deep sadness and despair
The sky is dark,
Describing a gloomy atmosphere
The moon is blue
Highlighting a sense of melancholy or sadness
I don't know what I'm gonna do
Expressing uncertainty about the future
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Conveying a feeling of sinking into troubled and unclear situations
Well the National Anthem has come and gone,
Referring to a significant event passing with no positive change
I still got the TV on,
Indicating continued waiting and disappointment
And white noise,
Describing a state of static and unchanging background noise
A blue moon,
Noting a rare or unusual occurrence, possibly mirroring the singer's feelings
Sitting here waiting up on you,
Remaining in anticipation of someone's return
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Reiterating the feeling of sinking into troubled situations
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on,
Emphasizing the relentless passage of time
2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5
Listing hours passing, underscoring the prolonged wait
Baby, you still ain't home
Expressing concern and disappointment about the absence
Well, I've fought some sleep, in a straight back chair
Struggling to stay awake while waiting
Morning comes and you still ain't here,
Realizing the morning has come without the awaited return
Roll on, I've had enough,
Resignedly accepting the situation and moving forward
Holding on to faithless love,
Acknowledging a love that has proven unfaithful
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water.
Repeating the theme of sinking into a troubled state
The clock on the wall keeps rollin' on,
Reiterating the unstoppable passage of time
2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock, 5
Continuing to emphasize the hours passing without resolution
And Baby, you still ain't home,
Reiterating the absence of the person and the emotional toll
Now you left me here and went out on the town,
Recalling the initial departure and the ensuing emotional downturn
I don't know when I've been so down,
Expressing a sense of deep emotional low
The sky is dark,
Describing a bleak and despondent environment
The moon is blue,
Reiterating a sense of melancholy with a poetic touch
I don't know what I'm gonna do,
Expressing uncertainty about the future
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Repeating the metaphor of falling into troubled waters
It's like I'm falling down into muddy water
Reiterating the feeling of sinking into a difficult situation
I'm falling down into muddy water
Emphasizing the continued descent into a troubled state
I'm falling down into muddy water
Repeating the theme of falling into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
Continuing to convey a sense of descent into troubled emotions
I'm falling down into muddy water
Repeating the idea of falling into muddy water
I'm falling down into muddy water
Reiterating the ongoing descent into emotional turmoil
