Hurting
Seeking Solace: Brother Jonathan's Hurting Unveils the Pain Within
Lyrics
Take me away
Expressing a desire to be taken away.
Before I say the thing that I don't want to say
Wanting to avoid saying something unpleasant.
Before I tell you where my head don't want to lay
Preferring not to reveal where one's mind is troubled.
I beg and I pray
Pleading and praying for a specific outcome.
Let them take me away
Reiterating the plea to be taken away.
And tell me now
Seeking an immediate response.
Woah oh oh oh
Expressing emotion with vocal sounds.
Who am I hurting?
Pondering about the impact of actions on others.
Draw down that smoke
Using a metaphor of drawing down smoke, possibly alluding to a destructive habit.
Like it's from a house fire
Comparing the act of drawing smoke to a destructive event like a house fire.
My body is broken
Acknowledging physical and emotional brokenness.
Oh it has been for a while
Indicating a prolonged state of being broken.
Eject me from Earth
Expressing a desire to be removed from the current reality.
I want to float with no weight
Yearning for a state of weightlessness and freedom.
The sweetest release
Desiring release from a surrounding environment characterized by hate.
From this nation of hate
Commenting on the negativity within society.
Tell me now
Reiterating the need for an immediate response.
Woah oh oh oh
Repeating the question about the impact of one's actions on others.
Who am I hurting?
Expressing concern about causing harm to others.
I'm drowning myself
Using drowning as a metaphor for self-destructive behavior.
Just to steady the boat
Justifying destructive behavior to maintain stability.
Medicating my mind
Using medication metaphorically to cope with mental challenges.
Just to maintain some hope
Seeking hope through coping mechanisms.
Tell me why we
Pondering the purpose and repetition of life.
Live the same day for years
Questioning the monotony of existence.
To chase money honey
Chasing material wealth but questioning its sufficiency.
What's enough now my dear?
Asking a significant other about their perspective on contentment.
So tell me now
Reiterating the need for a response.
Woah oh oh oh
Repeating the question about the impact of one's actions on others.
Who am I hurting?
Expressing concern about causing harm to others.
