Lyrics
Standing waiting for a man to show
Anticipation and readiness for someone to arrive.
Wide eyed one eye fixed on the door
Vigilant and focused on the entrance, possibly for a specific person.
This waiting's killing me, it's wearing me down
The prolonged waiting is emotionally draining.
Day in day out, my feet are burning holes in the ground
Continuous waiting is taking a toll, causing fatigue and restlessness.
Darkness warmer than a bedroom floor
Metaphorical darkness is more comforting than a lonely bed.
Want someone to hold me close forever more
Desire for lasting intimacy and closeness with someone.
I'm a sleeping dog, but you can't tell
Hidden dangers or aggression may not be evident at first glance.
When I'm on the prowl you'd better run like hell
A dormant threat, but dangerous when in pursuit.
You know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Common sense dictates avoiding certain actions.
Life and death are just things you do when you're bored
Engaging in risky behaviors out of boredom, trivializing life and death.
Say fear's a man's best friend
Fear is portrayed as a companion or ally to a man.
You add it up it brings you down
Fear, when accumulated, has a depressing effect.
Home is living like a man on the run
Living in a constant state of evasion and escape.
Trails leading nowhere, where to my son?
Paths in life leading nowhere, questioning purpose.
We're already dead, just not yet in the ground
Existence is acknowledged, but vitality seems lost.
Take my helping hand I'll show you around
Offering guidance and assistance to navigate through difficulties.
You know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Reiteration of the sensibility in avoiding certain actions.
Life and death are just things you do when you're bored
Reiteration of the casual approach to life and death.
Say fear's a man's best friend
Fear is emphasized again as a companion to a man.
You add it up it brings you down
The cumulative impact of fear is negative and brings one down.
