Lost Souls Seeking Sanity: Andy Louis' Corrosive Reflections
Lyrics
These days
Feeling lost and confused in the present time.
Going round and round in circles these days
Experiencing repetitive and unproductive patterns or routines.
Thought I'd found it but I lost my way
Initially thought a direction was found, but lost it along the way.
Someone please help me stay sane
Seeking assistance to maintain mental stability.
And you
Referring to someone, possibly the subject of the song.
Keeping up with everything you do
Acknowledging the other person's competence and organization.
Got your shit together I'd like to
Expressing admiration for the person's ability to handle life well.
Hand a paper back before it's due
Completing tasks promptly, contrasting with personal struggles.
And while I'm in the dirt, in dirt, in the dirt you've
Being in a difficult situation while the other person has traveled extensively.
Gone around the world, 'round the world, 'round the world you
Highlighting the other person's global experiences in contrast to personal difficulties.
Saw me and then skrrt and then skrrt and then skrrt
Describing an encounter with the other person, followed by a departure.
They told me I'm abrasive
Receiving feedback that one's personality is harsh or unpleasant.
Blue sky
Reference to a clear sky, possibly symbolizing positivity.
Clouds are nowhere to be found
Indicating the absence of positive elements or optimism.
Black eye
Mentioning a black eye, metaphorical for encountering difficulties.
Thought that peace was all around
Initial belief that peace was present, now proven false.
Mine lies
Suggesting personal struggles at the bottom of a bottle of wine.
At the bottom of this bottle of wine
Difficulty in expressing emotions or challenges openly.
It's hard to show
A struggle to maintain secrecy or privacy.
Meant to keep it on the low
The impact of silence on one's well-being.
But the silence kills you more
Choosing to suppress pride for the sake of a relationship.
Way to keep my pride aside
Reflecting on shared moments, possibly with regret or nostalgia.
Certainly when you rode along with me
Anticipating a negative outcome when someone accompanied the speaker.
Had a feeling it might be
Having a premonition that hiding emotions might be the better choice.
Better to hide and
Choosing to conceal emotions and thoughts.
While I'm in the dirt, in the dirt, in the dirt you've
Reiterating personal struggles while the other person has traveled.
Gone around the world, 'round the world, 'round the world you
Emphasizing the contrast between personal difficulties and the other person's travels.
Saw me and then skrrt and then skrrt and then skrrt
Recalling an encounter with the other person, followed by a departure.
They told me I'm abrasive
Receiving feedback about one's abrasive personality.
They told me I'm abrasive
Repetition of the statement about being perceived as abrasive.
They told me I'm abrasive
Further reinforcement of the feedback about the abrasive nature of the speaker.
