Loving Cup
Journey Through Life's Turmoil: Seeking Redemption in 'Loving Cup'
Lyrics
I don't want a hand out
Expressing a desire for support without wanting charity.
I just need a hand up
Seeking assistance or guidance to rise from a difficult situation.
I'll hit you back with a drink from my loving cup
Offering gratitude and reciprocation with a symbolic gesture of sharing love.
Don't be the next straw on my broken back
Warning against being an additional burden or stress in challenging circumstances.
Condescend til the end
Behaving condescendingly until the conclusion; questioning such behavior.
Hey what's up with that?
Repeating a query about the observed condescension, emphasizing the confusion or frustration with it.
(Hey what's up with that?)
-Hey what's up with that?
-Wish you could see me now
Reflecting on personal growth and the wish for others to acknowledge it.
Cause I have been around
Highlighting a history of feeling lost in contrast to others who seemed to have it all figured out.
I was always lost and you were always found
Pointing out the perceived dichotomy between personal experiences.
I bet it tastes so sweet, so bittersweet
Speculating on the taste of success, emphasizing its potential bitterness.
To never sleep between the sheets, I know
Acknowledging the sacrifices made, particularly in relationships.
But that's the way it goes
Acceptance of life's inevitable challenges and hardships.
People die every day
Questioning the emotional impact of death, pondering the difference when it's someone personally known.
Why's it different when it's someone you know?
-People die every day
-Why's it different when it's someone you know?
-Face down on the floor again
Describing a low point, waking up alone and intoxicated, needing to find a way out.
In a crowded room at a friend of a friend's
-And when I woke up alone
-I was drunk I was stoned
-Had to find a way out, had to find a way home
-So I'll fly away from it all, don't try to call
Expressing a desire to escape and avoid communication due to enduring emotional distress.
My head has been pinned to the wall, for far too long
-I feel the weight on me, do you feel it too?
Feeling overwhelmed and burdened, hoping for a brighter future.
I see the gray only, but I hope one day I see in blue
-People die every day
Repeating the reflection on death, questioning the emotional impact when it's someone familiar.
Why's it different when it's someone you know?
-People die every day
-Why's it different when it's someone you know?
-Face down on the floor again
Revisiting a scene of despair and the need for escape.
In a crowded room at a friend of a friend's
-And when I woke up alone
-I was drunk I was stoned
-Had to find a way out, had to find a way home
-Sometimes I think I'm being too hard on myself
Acknowledging self-criticism but recognizing personal growth from a challenging past.
But I made it out of the drugs and the filth
-I'm trying to rebuild what can't be rebuilt
-I've got to sift through the sand and the silt
-I don't want a hand out
Reiterating the desire for support without wanting to be a burden.
I just need a hand up
-I'll hit you back with a drink from my loving cup
-Face down on the floor again
Recalling a challenging situation and the struggle to find a way out and home.
In a crowded room at a friend of a friend's
-And when I woke up alone
-I was drunk I was stoned
-Had to find a way out, had to find a way home
-Sometimes I think I'm being too hard on myself
Reflecting on the journey of overcoming obstacles and the ongoing effort to rebuild.
But I made it out of the drugs and the filth
-I'm trying to rebuild what can't be rebuilt
-I've got to sift through the sand and the silt
