It's Heavy Down Here
Embracing the Weight: Cowboy Junkies' Poetic Journey Through Life's Burdens
Lyrics
It's heavy down here
The emotional weight or burden is significant in this place.
Pressure building day-to-day,
There's increasing stress or tension accumulating daily.
Everyone's got too much to say
People are overly vocal, expressing opinions or thoughts excessively.
It's heavy down here
Reiterating the heaviness or emotional burden in this context.
It's heavy down here
Re-emphasizing the emotional weightiness of the situation.
Thunder clouds roiling in the late afternoon,
Describing turbulent, threatening weather conditions in the afternoon.
Old Man rising from his noon day snooze
An elderly person waking up from a midday nap, possibly indicating an interruption or disturbance.
It's heavy down here
Reaffirming the sense of heaviness or emotional strain present.
It's heavy down here
Reiterating the prevalent emotional burden.
A final post for all to see,
A final message or communication meant for everyone.
The loving embrace of Infamy
Suggesting a profound connection or intimacy with something infamous or notorious.
It's heavy down here
Re-emphasizing the heaviness or emotional weight felt.
It's too damn heavy down here
Expressing that the emotional burden is excessively heavy.
He took a small box
A person took a small item and concealed it, possibly indicating hiding or burying emotions or feelings.
And he buried it away
The act of hiding or keeping something away from sight.
"Now my heart will be home
Expressing a desire for freedom from emotional attachment.
So I need not stay"
Seeking emotional relief by leaving.
It's heavy down here
Reiterating the emotional weightiness of the situation.
It's too damn heavy down here
Emphasizing the overwhelming and excessive emotional burden.
