Lyrics
Mama take this badge off of me
Mama, please remove this emblem of authority or responsibility from me
I can't use it anymore
I cannot make use of it any longer
It's getting too dark, too dark to see
The situation is becoming excessively obscure or challenging, making it difficult to perceive
I feel I'm knockin' on heaven's door
I sense that I am approaching or near death, symbolized by "heaven's door"
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
A repetition emphasizing the act of approaching death or an impending end, feeling close to passing away or reaching a critical point in life
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Mama put my guns in the ground
Mother, bury or dispose of my firearms
I can't shoot them anymore
I cannot or do not want to use them anymore
A long black cloud is comin' down
A metaphorical representation of impending danger or a threat approaching
I feel like I'm knockin' on heavens door
I feel as though I am reaching the threshold of death or a significant end
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
A repetition emphasizing the act of approaching death or an impending end, feeling close to passing away or reaching a critical point in life
Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
-Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door
