Worried Man
Navigating Existential Turmoil: Worried Man's Lament
Lyrics
I’m a worried man
I am experiencing anxiety or concern.
I eat myself to the bone.
I am emotionally consuming myself, possibly indicating stress or inner turmoil.
Can't drink no more
I have stopped drinking because it exacerbates the thoughts swirling in my mind.
Cause it swims in my head.
The mental burden or worries are overwhelming and persistent.
And this old house
The place where I reside is physically unstable or in disrepair.
Is tilting at the frame.
The instability extends to the structure of my home.
And this old doubt
Doubts and uncertainties are becoming cold and distant.
Is cooling at the pane.
My uncertainties are affecting my perception or outlook on life.
Everything I know
My understanding of reality or knowledge has undergone significant changes.
Has changed its shape.
Even fundamental aspects of my life have transformed.
And even the light
The quality of light, possibly representing clarity or insight, has altered.
Has changed its shade.
The nature or essence of things has shifted.
And you think you know yourself
Despite thinking I understand myself, fear suddenly becomes intense.
Then the fear hits hard.
Fear is a powerful emotion that strikes forcefully.
Feels like there’s no end
The feeling of no resolution, only the beginning of something challenging.
There’s only the start.
Suggesting that challenges or difficulties seem endless.
And do you wake in the morning with a feeling you just can't shake?
Waking up with an unsettling feeling that persists.
You know your house ain’t haunted but you’re afraid anyway?
Experiencing irrational fear, even when there is no apparent reason for it.
You run around the archives of your memory
Searching through past experiences for answers or understanding.
Looking for something you passed on or something you just couldn’t see.
Trying to find something overlooked or misunderstood in one's own history.
I’m a worried man I eat myself to the bone
Reiteration of the emotional struggle, indicating a recurring and persistent worry.
