Killin' the Pain
Embracing Ease: David Lee Murphy's Effortless Journey Through Life's Pains
Lyrics
Heartaches come and heartaches go
Heartaches are transient experiences in life.
Sometimes they're fast sometimes they're slow
Heartaches vary in duration, occurring at different speeds.
Some hang around they don't wanna leave
Some heartaches linger and are reluctant to go away.
Oh but killin' the pain just comes easy for me
The singer finds it easy to numb emotional pain.
Like mile marker signs down a dead end road
Life's journey is compared to a dead-end road with markers.
Sometimes I forget how far I've gone
The singer occasionally forgets the distance traveled.
But when it's all a blur it's as clear as can be
Even in a blur, clarity emerges about the journey.
Killin' the pain just comes easy for me
Numbing emotional pain remains effortless for the singer.
No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
The singer implies a propensity for making mistakes.
To wind up in all the wrong company
The singer finds it easy to be in undesirable company.
I don't even mind a little misery
The singer doesn't mind some unhappiness.
When I can't feel a thing
Numbing emotions allows the singer to escape feeling.
It might look hard but it really ain't
The difficulty of life is downplayed; it's not as challenging as it appears.
All I need is a town to paint
The singer only needs a town to paint, suggesting simplicity.
Yeah I was born with a gift it comes naturally
The ability to numb pain is a natural gift for the singer.
Killin' the pain just comes easy for me
Numbing emotional pain is inherent and effortless.
No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
Similar to line 11, the singer acknowledges a tendency to make mistakes.
To wind up in all the wrong company
The singer easily finds himself in unfavorable situations.
I don't even mind a little misery
The singer doesn't mind a bit of suffering.
When I can't feel a thing
Numbing emotions allows the singer to remain unaffected.
So when life comes along and puts a hurtin' on you
In challenging times, the singer suggests enduring and continuing with life.
And you're out doin' what we all gotta do
Encouragement to persevere through life's challenges.
Just tell yourself it ain't as bad as it seems
Advice to see challenges in a less daunting light.
Killin' the pain just comes easy for me
Numbing emotional pain remains second nature for the singer.
No it ain't that hard for somebody like me
Reiteration of the singer's inclination to make mistakes.
To wind up in all the wrong company
The singer easily finds himself in undesirable situations.
I don't even mind a little misery
The singer doesn't mind experiencing some hardship.
When I can't feel a thing
Numbing emotions shields the singer from feeling pain.
