Takes a Toll
Echoes of Life's Toll: Bellwether's Haunting Melody Unveiled
Lyrics
The well runs empty.
The resources or emotional well-being are depleted.
That's a sound I've heard before,
Recognizing a familiar distressing situation.
Once or twice.
Acknowledging past experiences of a similar nature.
Come lately,
Recently, arriving or appearing.
You come knocking on my back door,
Approaching with a request or problem, symbolized by "knocking on my back door."
Late last night.
This encounter occurred in the late hours of the night.
You ain't living on less than you need.
Living with abundance, not constrained by scarcity.
Small change indeed.
Not experiencing significant financial hardship.
Long enough to see something you think
Having lived through enough time to believe one understands something.
You know, It takes a toll.
Life's challenges or experiences have a cumulative impact.
So you pass the days.
Passing time without a clear purpose or direction.
Ain't it strange when you settle down?
Reflecting on the odd feeling of settling down in life.
And the wasted time.
Time that was not well-spent or utilized effectively.
All the restless ways
The unsettled and anxious nature of a community during winter.
Of a northern town come along
Characteristic behaviors of a northern town manifest during winter.
In the wintertime.
Referencing the winter season.
You ain't living on less than you need.
Living with abundance, not constrained by scarcity (repeated).
Small change indeed.
Not experiencing significant financial hardship (repeated).
Long enough to see
Having lived through enough time to believe one understands something (repeated).
Something you think you know.
Reflecting on something believed to be understood.
It takes a toll.
Life's challenges or experiences have a cumulative impact (repeated).
It takes a toll.
-It takes a toll.
