Clean Cut
Yearning for Renewal: Daniel Young's Melodic Quest for a Clean Cut
Lyrics
Dishes piling up in the sink
Dishes are accumulating and not being cleaned in the sink.
Happened so quickly before I could blink
Events unfolded rapidly without much warning or notice.
Woke up worried in the middle of the night
Awoke with concern or anxiety during the night.
Didn't know where I was, slept through the daylight
Woke up disoriented and unaware of the time, having slept through the day.
Felt as though we were in a rut
Feeling stuck or in a routine that lacks progress or excitement.
I feel like I need a clean cut
Expressing a desire for a decisive separation or change.
Clean cut right down to my heart
Wishing for a clear separation, possibly from emotional pain.
Let it bleed out
Metaphorically allowing emotions or pain to flow out.
I need a fresh start
Seeking a new beginning or a chance to start over.
The flowers I brought you had all up and dried
Gifted flowers that have withered away.
Packed all your things, but you left them to die
Packed belongings but left them neglected or abandoned.
Abandoned the vase on the kitchen counter
Left behind a vase with forgotten flowers.
Full of flowers that you left behind
The vase contains flowers left behind and not tended to.
Felt as though we were in a rut
Feeling stuck or in a routine that lacks progress or excitement (repeated).
I feel like I need a clean cut
Expressing a desire for a decisive separation or change (repeated).
Clean cut right down to my heart
Wishing for a clear separation, possibly from emotional pain (repeated).
Let it bleed out
Metaphorically allowing emotions or pain to flow out (repeated).
I need a fresh start
Seeking a new beginning or a chance to start over (repeated).
Lighting don't strike in the same place twice
Suggesting rare occurrences or second chances.
Thunder is louder in the middle of the night
Symbolizing the intensity of troubles or problems at night.
Clinch my fist, hold on tight
Metaphorically holding onto something tightly despite challenges.
Until the rooster crows, welcomes the daylight
Waiting for a new day to begin, marked by the rooster's crow.
Felt as though we were in a rut
Feeling stuck or in a routine that lacks progress or excitement (repeated).
I feel like I need a clean cut
Expressing a desire for a decisive separation or change (repeated).
Clean cut right down to my heart
Wishing for a clear separation, possibly from emotional pain (repeated).
Let it bleed out
Metaphorically allowing emotions or pain to flow out (repeated).
I need a fresh start
Seeking a new beginning or a chance to start over (repeated).
