Lyrics
What is good?
Questioning the concept of goodness or virtue.
Clean like rain.
Comparing goodness to purity and freshness, akin to rain.
Mend my mind in forty days.
Seeking mental healing or restoration within a specific time frame.
I'm holding my breath in the deep end.
Metaphorically describing a feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed, possibly in a challenging situation or emotionally intense experience, requiring resilience.
Holding my breath in the deep end.
-What is good?
Repetition of the question, reinforcing the quest for understanding what constitutes goodness or virtue.
Clean like rain.
Reiteration of comparing goodness to cleanliness and purity.
Mend my mind in forty days.
Continued desire for mental healing within a set period.
And the grass grows braided between my toes.
Imagery of nature (grass) intertwining with the self, possibly indicating a connection to the earth or grounding.
These roots keep pulling, pulling me down.
Feeling pulled down or restrained by roots, suggesting internal struggles or obstacles preventing upward growth.
Pulling pulling me down.
-Pulling pulling me down.
-Pulling pulling me down and
-I'm holding my breath in the deep end.
Metaphorically describing a feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed, possibly in a challenging situation or emotionally intense experience, requiring resilience.
Holding my breath in the deep end.
-The sensation that I am man,
Asserting a sense of masculinity or a feeling of being a capable individual.
That I can live as no one can,
Expressing a belief in one's unique way of living or existence.
That life and death are in my hands
Feeling a sense of control over life and death, possibly indicating a strong sense of agency.
I'll have it all, but I'll want more
Desiring abundance and success but anticipating ongoing desires for more.
Oh give me more when
Expressing a desire for increased abundance or fulfillment.
I'm holding my breath in the deep end.
Metaphorically describing a feeling of being submerged or overwhelmed, possibly in a challenging situation or emotionally intense experience, requiring resilience.
Holding my breath in the deep end.
