Big Salty Tears
Driving Through Heartbreak: Big Salty Tears by Bert Susanka and The Ziggens
Lyrics
Big salty tears
Emotional tears
Are what I tasted
Experienced the taste of sadness
As I drove
Driving past someone's house
Past your house tonight
Observing the surroundings at night
And now they're resting
Tears now present on a burger
On my burger
Cooking with emotional pain
As I start to fry
Starting to fry with emotional turmoil
Big salty tears
Continuation of expressing deep sadness
Here in line
Experiencing sorrow while waiting in line
Even those young fresh fellows
Commentary on the poor performance of young individuals
They don't sound too good tonight
Even the talented don't sound good
And all those break lights
Observing brake lights in traffic
That are in front of me
Creating a watery red pattern in the rearview
They leave a watery red design
Reflection on aging and the loss of loved ones
I'm at the age when I realize
Realization of the inability of substances to bring someone back
The liquor store won't bring you back
Acknowledgment of aging
I must be getting old
Being at a drive-thru while contemplating life
I'm at the drive thru
Expressing self-consciousness about appearance
And I'm making my face
Making oneself appear fatter
More fat fat fat fat fat
Continuation of emotional tears theme
A big salty tears
Reiteration of experiencing deep sadness
I'm at the age where I realize
Reflection on the realization that life has no inherent meaning
Nothing actually
Acknowledgment of conformity to societal expectations
Just do what I'm supposed to do
Time reference, 2:17
Two Seventeen
Interaction with a drive-thru window
First window please
Request for service at the drive-thru
A big salty tears
Final expression of deep sorrow
