It's Not Always Funny
Exploring Life's Irony: Moments That Aren't Always Funny
Lyrics
The touch of your eyes, putting on my shoes
The way you look at me while I'm putting on my shoes
Seems unaware
Appears to be oblivious
Shaves my wife's wig off, oh-whoa
Metaphorically disrupts something important or personal (wig symbolizes disguise or facade)
Without a care, then plays with my hotel
Acts nonchalantly with something of mine (hotel symbolizes personal space or belongings)
Oh, well
Expresses resignation or acceptance
Over and over, it's gonna be a drag
Repetitive and mundane tasks are burdensome
Something's in the air
Suggests an intangible feeling or atmosphere
Not a word between us, whoa, whoa
Communication gap between individuals
Are you still there?
Questioning the other person's presence or attention
It's last call in hell
Describes a difficult or challenging situation (hell metaphor)
Won't you stay for a spell?
Asking someone to stay for a while
'Cause it's not always funny, baby
Life isn't always amusing or enjoyable
But I hope that you don't mind
Hoping that the listener doesn't take offense to the previous statement
When I tell you that it sure is sometimes
Admitting that sometimes life is indeed amusing
They say it's so very wonderful
People say life is fantastic, but...
Time gets stuck in your face
Time can leave its mark or impact on a person
Over and over, down the rabbit hole
Recurring patterns leading to unpredictable situations
Or whatever the case, either way it's true
Regardless of the circumstance, a statement remains valid
Still don't know what to do
Feeling uncertain about what actions to take
I came to see the sights, not to find me lurking
Went somewhere to explore but found oneself in an unexpected place
In some fancy shop
Doesn’t want to be associated with luxury or superficiality
I'd love to tell you my name but been here so long
Feels like they’ve been in a place for so long that their identity is lost
Seems I forgot
Has forgotten their own name due to prolonged stay
Close your eyes
A suggestion to stop observing or witnessing
Double the price
Emphasizes the overpricing or exaggeration of something
'Cause it's not always funny, baby
Reiteration that life isn't always amusing
But I hope that you don't mind
Reinforcing the hope that the listener isn’t offended by the truth
When I tell you that it sure is sometimes
Acknowledging that indeed life can be amusing at times
You know it is sometimes
Repeated confirmation that sometimes life is amusing
You know it is sometimes
Repetition emphasizing occasional amusement in life
Sometimes
Highlighting the intermittent nature of amusement in life
You know it is sometimes
Reiteration that sometimes life is amusing
You know it is sometimes
Repeated statement affirming occasional amusement in life
