Sad
Embracing the Inescapable Sadness: Carson McHone's Poignant Reflection
Lyrics
Here's the deal I got this thing
Introducing a personal struggle described as "sad."
I call it sad and it calls me home
Emphasizing the connection between the singer and their sadness.
I hold this sadness inside of me
Acknowledging the internal nature of the sadness.
And it's here to stay but I wish it'd leave
Expressing a desire for the sadness to go away despite its persistence.
Sometimes I scare her way down low
Describing moments when the sadness is suppressed or hidden.
And I forget I'm not alone
Forgetting the presence of sadness and feeling temporarily free.
But then she comes out late at night
Sadness resurfaces during nighttime.
And makes me do things I don't like
Implying that sadness influences the singer's actions negatively.
See there's this man and he says I'm fine
Introducing a character affirming the singer's well-being.
So I take his time and tell him lies
Deceiving the mentioned man about the singer's condition.
And he does me right and he gets me high
Engaging in activities with the man for temporary relief.
And I bring him down and I watch him cry
Causing emotional pain to the man in return.
Cause I've got this sadness inside of me
Reiterating the persistence of internal sadness.
And it's here to stay but I wish it'd leave
Repeating the wish for the sadness to leave.
One night I had myself a dream
Recalling a dream involving a game with the sadness.
That Sad and I, we played hide and seek
Depicting an attempt to elude or control sadness.
And she could not find me cause I would not cry
Resisting the expression of sadness through tears.
But it made me mean and I woke up tired
Describing the negative impact of suppressing emotions.
I've got this sad
Repeating the presence of the internal sadness.
There is no shadow without the light
Highlighting the coexistence of sadness with light and day.
But there is a sadness both day and night
Reaffirming the constant presence of sadness both day and night.
