Tiresome
Embracing Resilience: Insights from Drug Church's 'Tiresome'
Lyrics
When you're full sad sack
Expressing a state of deep sadness or despair.
Listening to Mush on a city bus
Listening to Mush (likely a band or music) while on a city bus.
You let those tears eat your brain
Allowing sadness to consume and affect one's thoughts.
Poor me is your refrain
Repetitive expression of self-pity, portraying oneself as a victim.
When you're off on one
Engaging in self-destructive behavior, murmuring self-pity in private.
Whispering pity into your shirt
Celebrating and embracing weakness instead of addressing it.
You celebrate being weak
Enjoying the state of being feeble and keeping justifications readily available.
And keep excuses right in reach
Having excuses readily accessible to rationalize one's shortcomings.
Here's what I learned living under my rock
Sharing personal insights gained from a secluded or sheltered existence.
Here's what I found when I finally looked
Discovering truths when choosing to face reality.
There's nothing there but air
Nothingness, an empty space where ambition is lacking.
A void where ambition ain't
Avoidance of aspirations or goals in life.
A damp seat of bad thoughts
Depiction of a negative, pessimistic mindset with persistent negative thoughts.
A rotted body you came across
Encountering a deteriorated body, possibly a metaphor for negative experiences.
When you're sitting on your back
Sitting in a defeated posture, contemplating life under adversity.
Staring at a stained dropped ceiling
Gazing at a stained ceiling, possibly symbolizing a tainted perspective.
Better served to burn that bed
Suggesting it's better to discard negative emotions than endure them.
Than spend another second on that feeling
Urging to let go of negative feelings rather than dwelling on them.
Here's what I learned living under my rock
Reiteration of personal lessons learned in seclusion or ignorance.
Here's what I found when I finally looked
Revisiting insights gained upon facing reality.
You know this turn you see it coming
Anticipating a negative turn of events, a sense of impending disappointment.
Your bored heart gives up on pumping
Feeling emotionally drained, giving up on caring or passion.
That self-hate was persistent
Acknowledging persistent self-hatred, a recurring internal struggle.
So those lungs are indifferent
Lungs indifferent to self-hate, possibly suggesting emotional numbness.
You fooled fools but that's worthless
Deceiving others without gaining any meaningful value, rendering it pointless.
Your pulse asks what's the purpose?
Pondering the purpose of life as the heartbeat questions its significance.
When tired is the entire sum
Being completely worn out, with fatigue encompassing one's entire being.
That shit just makes you tiresome
Expressing that being constantly tired makes one dull and uninteresting.
