Lyrics
Help yourself
Encouragement to take action for oneself.
If there's still meat on the bone
Suggesting to make the most of available opportunities or resources.
All the animals came
Metaphorically refers to various challenges or issues.
To the watering hole
A common gathering place where challenges are faced.
And I lay down
Choosing vulnerability or submission.
And I lay down
Reiteration of vulnerability or submission.
Ribs out in the sun
Symbolizing exposure and weakness.
Gone one by one
Indicates a gradual loss or deterioration.
Help yourself
Repetition of the call to take advantage of opportunities.
You've got a family to feed back home
Highlighting responsibilities and obligations to others.
Brain went first
Suggesting a prioritization of intellect over emotions.
But the heart hurt the worst
Expressing emotional pain as more significant than intellectual loss.
The vultures came
Introduction of scavengers, possibly representing negative influences.
There was nothing left to save
Implies a point of no return or irreversible damage.
Shook their heads in disgust
Others' disapproval or disappointment at the situation.
Gone one by one
Continuation of the gradual loss or deterioration.
Couldn't lie through my teeth so I took them all out
Honesty about one's shortcomings or mistakes.
Got so much more room for my foot in my mouth
Creating space for more self-awareness and humility.
Followed the cliff to the edge of my feet
Metaphorical journey towards a risky or uncertain situation.
Chasing me, run from me, down every street
Sense of pursuit or confrontation from challenges.
Couldn't lie through my teeth so I took them all out
Reiteration of honesty about one's shortcomings.
Got so much more room for my foot in my mouth
Continuing to make room for self-awareness and growth.
Followed the cliff to the edge of my feet
Repetition of the metaphorical journey and challenges.
Chasing me, run from me, down every street
Continued sense of pursuit or confrontation from challenges.
Wake up, You're stuck
A direct call to awareness and realization of being stuck.
Wake up, You're stuck
Reiteration of the urgency to wake up from the current situation.
