Suffer Me
Crosses to Share: Unveiling the Depths of Suffer Me
Lyrics
Everybody got their cross to bear
Everyone has their own challenges to face.
But I've got mine and I've got yours to share
The singer not only carries their own burdens but is willing to share and help others with theirs.
See you driving down my road,
Observing someone approaching, possibly with problems or issues.
Trouble in the wind, yeah, I already know
Anticipating trouble or difficulties that the approaching person carries with them.
Every time I see you around the town
Encountering the person in various locations in the town.
Somebody's shoulder and you're breaking down
The person is seeking support from others but is emotionally breaking down.
Ain't enough that you can't be glad,
Not only is the person unhappy, but they also bring negativity to others.
Gotta make your best friend's day so sad
Adding to the unhappiness by making their best friend's day sad.
Suffer me, friend in need
The singer is asking the person to endure their presence and the burdens they carry.
The one thing that I just can't be
The singer acknowledges an aspect of themselves that the person cannot tolerate.
Suffer me, I'll be on my way
The singer suggests they will leave, possibly to spare the person from their troubles.
Dark clouds around, and I can't stay
Feeling surrounded by negativity and deciding to depart.
Bad luck and trouble, misery
Listing the negative elements the person brings—bad luck, trouble, and misery.
Only gifts that you bring to me
Highlighting that the person's presence is only associated with negative things.
With all you have, you're so sad
Despite having possessions, the person is still unhappy.
But every time you're around you're always mad
Observing the person's perpetual anger despite their possessions.
Suffer me, friend in need
Reiteration of the plea for the person to endure the singer's company despite their flaws.
The one thing that I just can't be
Admitting that there's an aspect of the singer that the person cannot accept.
Suffer me, I'll be on my way
Expressing the intention to leave to avoid causing further distress.
Dark clouds around, and I can't stay
Feeling overwhelmed by negativity and deciding to depart.
And I can't stay
Emphasizing the inevitability of the singer's departure.
And I won't stay
Reaffirming the decision not to stay.
No, no
Emphatic declaration of the singer's determination not to remain in the negative environment.
