All Wound Up
Love's Unraveling Journey: All Wound Up by Chris LeDoux
Lyrics
Since I was a baby, maybe two or three
Reflecting on childhood experiences, possibly carefree and unaffected.
Ain't nothing ever really bothered me
Expressing resilience, implying a lack of significant worries.
Some people rattle at the smallest things
Observing others getting upset over trivial matters.
I thought that I could handle anything but I'm
Believing in one's ability to handle any situation.
All wound up nothin' I can do
Feeling tense and stressed, unable to relax.
I get all wound up just from talkin' to you
Attributing the tension to interactions with a specific person.
I used to believe I was immune to love
Previously thinking immune to love, possibly avoiding emotional entanglements.
But look at me now I'm all wound up
Contrasting the previous belief with the current state of being emotionally entangled.
I never wondered what it's all about
Claiming not to have questioned the meaning of life.
Never saw a thing I couldn't do without
Claiming self-sufficiency, not relying on anything in particular.
My feet are used to bein' on the ground
Used to being grounded and practical.
These days I wanna kick 'em around 'cause I'm
Expressing a desire for change, wanting to be more carefree.
All wound up nothin' I can do
Reiterating the feeling of being wound up, emphasizing helplessness.
I get all wound up just from talkin' to you
Linking the tension to interactions with the same person mentioned earlier.
I used to believe I was immune to love
Revisiting the idea of being immune to love, possibly in disbelief.
But look at me now I'm all wound up
Acknowledging the current state of emotional entanglement.
All wound up
Repetition for emphasis, highlighting the persistent state of tension.
All wound up
-Fame and fortune I can take or leave
Expressing indifference towards fame and fortune.
Ain't much about it that I really need
Minimal interest in materialistic aspects of life.
We're still together after all this time
Acknowledging a lasting relationship over time.
Honey, child I'm here to tell you that I'm still
Reassuring a loved one of continued commitment and presence.
All wound up nothin' I can do
Reiterating the feeling of being wound up, possibly intensifying.
I get all wound up just from talkin' to you
Connecting the tension to interactions, reinforcing the impact of conversation.
I used to believe I was immune to love
Recalling the previous belief of immunity to love in contrast to the current entanglement.
But look at me now I'm all wound up
Affirming the current state of being emotionally wound up.
Yeah, look at me now I'm all wound up
Concluding with a reflective acknowledgment of the present emotional state.
