Lyrics
I got this thorn in my side, I try, but I can't get it out
I have a persistent problem or source of pain that I can't remove.
Been killing me for years gone by, a miserable, painful bout
This issue has been causing me suffering for a long time.
No matter how hard and long I try to rip at it, it stays
Despite my efforts, I cannot eliminate or resolve the problem.
Buried deep inside my side enduring, every day
The problem is deeply ingrained and causes daily hardship.
Thorn in my side
Reiteration of the persistent issue or pain (the thorn).
I've picked the scab, a trying way, a painful means to amend
I've attempted various painful methods to address the issue, like picking at a scab.
Rid myself from the anguish, torment that I must end
I want to free myself from the emotional pain and suffering that I need to end.
I've lived this way for years but now I gotta move on
Although I've lived with this problem for a long time, it's time to move forward.
An oozing sore needs tending to, just like the thorn I adorn
Comparing the need to address the issue to tending to an oozing sore.
Thorn in my side
Reiteration of the persistent issue or pain (the thorn).
Misused, abused, accused, confused
Feeling used, abused, accused, and confused by the situation.
I'm sick and tired of backwards views, my soul's too tired
Frustration with narrow-minded perspectives; the speaker's soul feels exhausted and battered.
All black and bruised
Expressing a worn-out and damaged emotional state.
Thorn in my side
Reiteration of the persistent issue or pain (the thorn).
