Burn These Blues
Burning Blues: A Melodic Escape from Life's Struggles
Lyrics
Bills due, old shoes
Facing financial struggles with unpaid bills and worn-out shoes.
Repo took my Chevy too
Car repossessed, adding to the financial hardships.
White walls, Grey Goose
Reference to a cheap alcoholic drink (Grey Goose) and a bleak environment.
Empty pockets, case of blues
Financially broke and feeling down (case of blues).
That's all, I'm spent
Expressing exhaustion and being emotionally spent.
Can't use love to pay the rent
Love is not a practical solution to financial problems.
Went all in playing hearts
Metaphorically playing a risky game (hearts), regretting not stopping earlier.
Shoulda called misdeal from the start
Regretting not avoiding a bad situation from the beginning.
I just wanna burn it away
Expressing a desire to escape or eliminate the problems.
I just wanna burn it away
Repetition of the desire to burn away the troubles.
Deviate, war 'n hate
Mentioning deviation from a positive path, stuck in a cycle of war and hate.
But all I do is medicate
Using substances as a coping mechanism rather than addressing issues.
Two shots, one glass
Drinking to numb the pain or escape reality.
Three sheets hauling ass
Intoxication, losing control (three sheets hauling ass).
Strike a match, light the flame
Symbolic act of trying to ignite change or overcome challenges.
I've got no one left to blame
Acknowledging personal responsibility for the situation.
But me and that's ok
Acceptance of self-blame and an understanding that it's okay.
Told you so, ain't cutting it today
Others' warnings or advice are not helpful in the current situation.
I just wanna burn it away
Reiteration of the desire to burn away the troubles.
I just wanna burn it away
Repetition of the yearning to escape or eliminate problems.
Light a smoke, clear my head
Using smoking as a ritual to clear one's thoughts.
Fade to black but seeing red
Feeling emotionally intense, experiencing conflicting emotions (seeing red).
And burn these blues away
Expressing a strong desire to overcome or eliminate the emotional pain.
It's such a hollow feeling
Describing a deep sense of emptiness or dissatisfaction.
Hatin' the love you're missing
Expressing frustration with unreciprocated love.
Does anybody make it out alive?
Questioning the possibility of surviving challenging circumstances.
We tried to compromise
Attempted compromise in relationships but resulting in deception (white lies).
But it's just more white lies
Realization that compromise did not resolve underlying issues.
I think it's time to say goodbye
Considering ending a relationship that is not working.
I just wanna burn it away
Repetition of the desire to burn away the troubles.
I just wanna burn it away
Reiteration of the yearning to escape or eliminate problems.
Light a smoke, clear my head
Using smoking as a ritual to clear one's thoughts.
Fade to black but seeing red
Feeling emotionally intense, experiencing conflicting emotions (seeing red).
And burn these blues away
Expressing a strong desire to overcome or eliminate the emotional pain.
Burn these blues away
Final plea to burn away the emotional distress.
Oh, burn these blues and
Repetition of the plea to burn away the emotional distress.
Light a smoke, clear my head
Using smoking as a ritual to clear one's thoughts.
I can't erase the things we said
Unable to forget hurtful words but expressing a desire to move forward.
But I can burn these blues away
Reiteration of the ability to burn away the emotional distress.
