Crueler
Crueler Realities: Unveiling Life's Bitter Truths Through Buffalo Tom's Melody
Lyrics
It's so mean
Expressing how harsh or unkind something is
It's crueler than your dreams
Even more harsh or unkind than one's aspirations or hopes
And it's worse than it seems
Worse than its apparent or initial perception
Add it up
Calculate the effects or consequences
And stick it in your cup
Take the summed-up result and accept it
You're sure to get enough
Assured to receive an adequate amount
It runneth over now
Overflowing abundantly
You can't complain no more
No longer have grounds to express discontent
Your bones are cracking now
Your bones are experiencing strain or pressure
You'd better knuckle down
You should work diligently or earnestly
Life's so cheap
Life lacks value or significance
It's cheaper than it looks
Life is even less valuable than it appears
You can't learn that from books
Experiential knowledge surpasses what books can teach
Stay in the house
Remain indoors or avoid confronting your fears
Stay clear of what you fear
Stay away from what causes fear or anxiety
And you're old beyond your years
You seem older than your actual age due to experiences
It runneth over now
Overflowing abundantly (repeated)
You can't complain no more
No longer have grounds to express discontent (repeated)
Your bones are cracking now
Your bones are experiencing strain or pressure (repeated)
You'd better knuckle down
You should work diligently or earnestly (repeated)
You're leaving your long shadows
You're departing from your lengthy shadows, moving into the unknown
Leaning into space
Leaning or inclining towards something uncertain or ambiguous
And your hardscrabble life
Your difficult or harsh life is evident on your face
Is written all over your face
Symbolizing the struggles and hardships you've faced
Counterfeit
Fake or not genuine
The bankroll that was his
The wealth he possessed was false or deceptive
Fist of change that was yours
The transformation of your money into someone else's possession
A life so cheap
Life lacks value or significance (repeated)
It was cheaper than it looked
Life is even less valuable than it appears (repeated)
You can learn that from books
Experiential knowledge surpasses what books can teach (repeated)
It runneth over now
Overflowing abundantly (repeated)
You can't complain no more
No longer have grounds to express discontent (repeated)
Your bones are cracking now
Your bones are experiencing strain or pressure (repeated)
You'd better knuckle down
You should work diligently or earnestly (repeated)
They'll leave you with a prayer book
You'll be left with religious consolation and a sense of divine favor
And a pocket full of grace
Your challenging life is evident in your appearance
And your hardscrabbled life
Symbolizing the struggles and hardships you've faced (repeated)
Is written all over your face
Conveying the difficulties you've endured in your expression or demeanor
