Resolutions
Embracing Change: Dave Hause's Reflections on Resolutions
Lyrics
Resolutions, resolutions, I've got to get in shape
Expressing the need for personal improvements and fitness.
Get the hell out of this city, take a drive out to the lake
Desire to leave the city, seeking solace by driving to the lake.
Maybe a class or charity work, something healthy for a change
Considering options like classes or charity work for a healthier lifestyle.
I don't know, I don't know
Uncertainty and hesitation about the suggested changes.
Resolutions, resolutions, a little too much sin
Acknowledging past mistakes or indulgences that need correction.
I want to play my Al Green records and spend more time with Tim
Desire to enjoy music (Al Green records) and spend time with a friend named Tim.
I want to get out in the sunshine and take some of it in
Expressing a wish to embrace positivity and sunlight.
Take it slow, just take it slow
Advocating a slow and mindful approach to life changes.
I want to shed my skin
Metaphorically expressing a desire for personal growth or transformation.
I rode around today
Reflecting on the challenges faced today.
The things we've known feel like they're dying a little everyday
Observing that familiar aspects of life seem to be gradually fading away.
Revolution, revolution, oh give me a break
Mocking the idea of revolution, possibly due to life's challenges.
The signs all read foreclosure the more we work the less we make
Noting economic struggles with signs of foreclosure despite hard work.
Did you hear they locked up Jimmy and his kids are with the state?
Sharing news about Jimmy's incarceration and his children being taken by the state.
Work got slow, I guess work got slow
Attributing the slow pace of work to adverse circumstances.
Resolutions, resolutions meet me for a drink
Inviting someone to meet for a drink, possibly seeking comfort.
I can't call out sick again, I've used up all my days
Expressing the inability to take more sick days, hinting at work-related stress.
It takes a lot of medicine to keep up with the pace
Highlighting the need for medication to cope with the fast-paced life.
Come on let's go, come on let's go
Encouraging action and a change in pace.
I want to shed my skin
Reiteration of the metaphorical desire to undergo personal transformation.
I rode around today
Revisiting the observation that familiar aspects of life are fading.
The things we've known feel like they're dying a little everyday
Emphasizing the urgency of addressing the ongoing challenges.
I want to shed my skin
Repeating the desire for personal change.
We can't go on this way
Recognizing the unsustainable current situation.
The things we've known feel like they're dying a little
Restating the observation that familiar aspects of life are diminishing.
Everyday
Reiterating the gradual decay of known aspects of life.
