End up Like This
Journey Through Heartbreak: Denny Strickland's 'End up Like This' Story
Lyrics
I Put it in drive said goodbye
I initiated my departure, bidding farewell
To everything Id ever knew before
Leaving behind everything I had known previously
A thing about a heart
Reflection on matters of the heart
Hurt leaves a mark
Emphasizing that pain leaves a lasting impression
I hope tears and times and miles
Expressing a desire for tears, time, and distance to ease the pain
Make it easier
Hoping that the passage of time and experiences will make coping easier
So I put myself up pull myself back in the car
Taking control of emotions, getting in and out of the car
Role the windows down on the boulevard
Opening up to the world by rolling down windows on the boulevard
But I don't know where I'm going
Expressing uncertainty about the destination or purpose of the journey
I punch the dash board with all my might
Channeling frustration by physically hitting the dashboard
Shout some cuss words at the night
Releasing anger by shouting curses into the night
And I screamed out screamed out your name then I pulled down an old back road
Vividly recalling shouting the name of a significant person while driving down an old back road
Just a driving around letting go
Engaging in aimless driving as a way of letting go
I'm Sad I'm hurt I'm pissed
Expressing a mix of sadness, hurt, and anger
Never thought it'd end up like this
Conveying surprise at the unexpected outcome of the situation
Baby never thought it'd end up like this...
Reiterating the disbelief and emotional impact of the situation
Baby never thought it'd end up like this...
Repeating the disbelief and emotional impact for emphasis
I see your face every place
Noticing the presence of a person's face everywhere but feeling stuck in the past
but all that I can feel is yesterday
Unable to escape the emotions associated with yesterday
Wield Shield full of rain
Metaphorically describing a shield full of rain, possibly representing emotional burden
Heart filled with blaming you blaming me
Having a heart filled with blame, both towards oneself and the other person
I can't get past what it use to be so...
Expressing difficulty in moving beyond the memories of how things used to be
