In the Mood
Navigating Temptation: Corey Smith's Musical Journey
Lyrics
I was a wild one
I used to be a wild and reckless person.
Back in the day
Referring to a past time.
I just couldn't say no
I had difficulty refusing things.
But I gave up the cocaine
I stopped using cocaine.
The pills and the smoke
I quit using pills and smoking.
And now I'm straight as an arrow
Currently, I'm living a clean and sober life.
Oh, but I'm in the mood
Despite my current state, I have the desire for something different or exciting.
Yeah I'm in the mood
Expressing the mood for change or novelty.
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Feeling the need for a change in perspective or circumstances.
Can't help it now
It's beyond my control; I'm feeling this way now.
I'm in the mood
Reiterating the current emotional state of wanting change.
Alone for the weekend
I am spending the weekend alone.
Got nothin' to do
No specific plans or activities for the weekend.
Just turn some Allman Brothers on
Listening to Allman Brothers music to relax.
Kick back on the sofa
Relaxing on the sofa.
Just watch the candles burn
Observing the candles burn, a symbol of relaxation.
I figure, hell, I might as well be stoned
Considering getting high on substances.
Yeah I'm in the mood
Reaffirming the desire for a change in mood or circumstance.
Yeah I'm in the mood
Continuing the expression of the current mood.
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Emphasizing the need for a change in perspective or environment.
Who's holding? Come on, tell me now
Asking who has something to alter the mood (possibly substances).
I'm in the mood
Reiterating the current mood and desire for change.
Well I'm not fallin' off the wagon
Acknowledging the temptation but resisting a relapse into old habits.
I got way too much to lose
Mentioning the stakes are high, and there's a lot to lose.
There's a girl, she sees the best in me
Referring to a supportive person who sees the best in the speaker.
She'll be comin' home soon
Anticipating the return of the supportive person.
I just gotta make it through a few more days
Enduring a challenging period until the person's return.
Oh, yeah I'm in the mood
Reiterating the current mood and desire for change.
Yeah I'm in the mood
Expressing the persistent mood for something different.
Lord knows I could use a little change in altitude
Emphasizing the continued need for a change in perspective or circumstances.
Can't help it now
Reiterating the lack of control over the current mood.
I'm in the mood
Stating the current mood and desire for change once again.
Yeah I'm in the mood
Concluding by restating the prevailing mood.
