Trouble Weighs a Ton
Weight of Troubles: Unveiling the Poignant Messages in Dan Auerbach's Song
Lyrics
What's wrong, dear brother? Have you lost your faith?
Addressing a brother, questioning the loss of faith.
Don't you remember a better place?
Recalling a better time or state of being.
Needles and things, done you in
Referring to struggles with vices and negative influences.
Like the setting sun
Comparing troubles to the inevitable descent of the sun.
Oh, dear brother, trouble weighs a ton
Expressing empathy for the brother, acknowledging the weight of trouble.
What's wrong, dear sister? Did your world fall down?
Addressing a sister, questioning if her world has crumbled.
Men misuse you and push you around
Highlighting mistreatment by men and being pushed around.
Same story dear, year after year
Recognizing a recurring pattern of suffering over the years.
Faith will run
Anticipating the fading of faith in the face of persistent challenges.
Oh, dear sister, trouble weighs a ton
Expressing understanding and empathy for the sister's burdens.
Trouble in the air
Noting the presence of trouble in the environment.
Trouble all I see
Acknowledging the pervasive nature of troubles in the surroundings.
Does anybody care
Pondering if anyone is concerned or attentive to the troubles.
Trouble killin' me
Describing the personal impact of troubles as overwhelming and destructive.
Whoa, it's killin' me
Reiterating the intensity of the personal struggle.
What's wrong, dear mother? Has your child disobeyed?
Addressing a mother, inquiring about a child's disobedience.
Left you hurtin' in so many ways
Highlighting the multifaceted pain caused by a child's actions.
What once was sweet, the sorrow and greet
Reflecting on the loss of what was once sweet, replaced by sorrow and grief.
Cannot be undone
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of certain consequences.
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
Expressing empathy for the mother's heavy burden of trouble.
Oh, dear mother, trouble weighs a ton
Repeating the acknowledgment of the weight of trouble on the mother.
