Forty Years
Forty Years of Broken Hearts: Acid Tongue's Poignant Reflection on Life
Lyrics
Thoughts of drowning in a pool again
Contemplating the idea of drowning in a pool again
Must we do this all the time
Expressing frustration about repeating certain actions or situations
Cloudy talk, and darker thoughts
Engaging in unclear communication and having negative thoughts
Pour another glass of wine
Escaping or coping with difficulties by pouring another glass of wine
Forty years of feeling broken
Reflecting on forty years of feeling emotionally shattered or damaged
Guess we all could say the same
Suggesting that the experience of feeling broken is common to all
Pray to any god, for a new direction
Seeking guidance from any deity for a new direction in life
If things go wrong, then they're to blame
Attributing blame to external factors if things go wrong
Can't we have a normal talk today
Expressing a desire for a normal conversation without emotional distress
Do we always have to cry
Questioning the need for frequent crying in interactions
Ugly words, that twist and turn
Describing hurtful and manipulative words that create tension
You go low and I'll go high
Suggesting a preference for taking the higher moral ground in a conflict
Forty years of feeling broken
Continuing the reflection on a prolonged period of emotional distress
Guess we all could say the same
Reiterating that the feeling of brokenness is a shared experience
Pray to any god, for a new direction
Reaching out to a higher power for a positive change in life
If things go wrong, then they're to blame
Blaming external factors if life takes a negative turn
I wouldn't hold my breath
Expressing skepticism or doubt about positive change occurring
Things will never change
Believing that things are unlikely to change
Might as well enjoy the ride
Suggesting making the most of the current situation or circumstance
I wouldn't hold my breath
Reiterating the skepticism about expecting significant changes
Things will never change
Emphasizing the perceived permanence of the current state
Might as well enjoy the ride
Encouraging acceptance and enjoyment of the present journey
We might as well enjoy the ride
Repeating the idea of finding enjoyment in the ongoing journey
Forty years of feeling broken
Recalling forty years of enduring emotional pain and distress
Guess we all could say the same
Affirming the universality of the experience of feeling broken
Pray to any god, for a new direction
Persisting in seeking guidance for a positive change from a higher power
If things go wrong, then they're to blame
Reiterating the tendency to attribute blame to external factors in adversity
If things go wrong, then they're to blame
Emphasizing the attribution of blame to external factors if things go wrong
