Lyrics
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Expressing the experience of facing challenges or difficulties
Cried the whole night long
Conveying intense sadness or emotional distress throughout the night
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Reiteration of going through hardships and continuing to suffer
Cried the whole night long
Continued expression of deep emotional pain through the night
When I woke up this morning
Reflecting on the confusion and disorientation upon waking up
Didn't know right or wrong
Expressing a state of uncertainty regarding what is right or wrong
Well, if the river was a whiskey
Using metaphorical imagery of a river of whiskey and a diving duck to convey a desire for escape
And I was a diving duck
Describing a hypothetical scenario where the singer is a diving duck in a river of whiskey
If the river was a whiskey
Reiterating the metaphor of the river of whiskey and the diving duck
And I was a diving duck
Expressing a strong desire to escape or immerse oneself completely
Well, I would dive to the bottom
Continuing the metaphor, emphasizing a commitment to staying submerged
I'd swear, I'd never come up
Swearing never to resurface, suggesting a desire to avoid facing reality
Well, I coulda had religion
Mentioning the possibility of finding solace or meaning in religion
In this bad old Sunday
Specifying a particular day (Sunday) as a time for spiritual reflection
I coulda had religion
Repeating the idea of a missed opportunity for embracing religion
In this bad old Sunday
Reiterating the concept of a Sunday and the regret of not choosing a spiritual path
But whiskey and bad love
Attributing obstacles to finding solace in religion to whiskey and troubled love
Wouldn't let me have my way
Indicating that the influence of whiskey and unhealthy love prevented a desired outcome
I rolled and I tumbled
Revisiting the theme of rolling and tumbling, suggesting a persistent struggle
And I rolled and I tumbled
Repetition of the idea of rolling and tumbling, emphasizing the ongoing challenges
I rolled and I tumbled
Further emphasizing the continuous struggle through repetition
