Grown Man Blues
Unraveling Life's Struggles: Grown Man Blues
Lyrics
From massival trees and the grey diamond skies
Reference to nature and expansive skies, setting a contemplative tone
The brown of the oak with an armor kill time
Describing the oak with a resilient quality, suggesting the passage of time
Fresh breathful air plays a character role
Highlighting the role of fresh air, possibly symbolizing renewal
They say the choice is yours to be bold
Empowering the listener with the choice to be bold
Upon great boards of stone in an altar men built
Imagery of stone altars built by men, possibly representing human achievements
Telling those shits that make you and me ill
Confronting negative influences that make individuals feel unwell
The strings of sorrow will predict the end
Suggesting that sorrowful experiences can foresee an end
A paradox that men can't solve by hand
Describing a paradox beyond human resolution
You've been creeping all day in the scars of your life
Addressing personal struggles and challenges endured throughout the day
Thinking out loud and crying all night
Expressing thoughts aloud and emotional distress during the night
You've been washing your tears on bottles of booze
Using alcohol to cope with emotional pain and seeking a solution through music
I know what to do, I'll sing the grown man blues
Committing to singing the "grown man blues" as a form of expression
Laws and behaviors are not your way to be
Rejecting societal norms and conventional behaviors
Inside your head feels like zero gravity
Describing a state of mind that feels weightless and detached
They come to stop you, there is hope in your sight
Acknowledging hope in difficult situations
But you keep finding darkness in light
Persisting in finding darkness amidst positivity
Wise man said there is nothing here for you
Quoting a wise man advising that there's nothing beneficial in the current situation
Blocking the vision you can't see through
Being obstructed by a limited vision
Throw your feelings and anger right to the sky
Encouraging the release of emotions and anger
And scream with power as you wish to die
Expressing a powerful and intense desire, possibly for change
You've been creeping all day in the scars of your life
Reiterating the theme of navigating through personal scars
Thinking out loud and crying all night
Continuing the struggle of expressing thoughts and coping with emotions
You've been washing your tears on bottles of booze
Returning to the motif of using alcohol to cope with tears
I know what to do, I'll sing the grown man blues
Reaffirming the commitment to singing the "grown man blues"
How and why does it has to be
Pondering the inevitability and purpose of mortality
A last immortal man?
Questioning the existence of an immortal man, possibly reflecting on regret
Drowned in regret, he's kept again
Describing an individual trapped in regret and the repetition of mistakes
Crossing the red tide
Metaphorically crossing a metaphorical "red tide," possibly signifying challenges
You've been creeping all day in the scars of your life
Revisiting the theme of navigating through personal scars and struggles
Thinking out loud and crying all night
Continuing the expression of thoughts and emotional release during the night
You've been washing your tears on bottles of booze
Reiterating the use of alcohol to cope with tears
I know what to do, I'll sing the grown man, grown man blues
Affirming the commitment to singing the "grown man blues" as a form of resolution
