Average Joe
Love's Turmoil: A Heartfelt Reflection in 'Average Joe'
Lyrics
I’m not gonna lie, I miss you a lot
I deeply miss you
Whether we’re jokin about pot, connecting the dots or whatnot
We used to share jokes about various topics, including marijuana, and connect on different levels
You’ve found your new life far away, and I’m just stuck here to stay and that’s okay
You've moved on to a new life far away, while I remain stuck where I am, and I've come to accept that
See, love is something powerful that really messes us up
Love is a powerful force that can lead us to make mistakes
When we have something like that, we make bad decisions, that’s just our luck
Having love often results in poor decisions, as it's our luck to be influenced by it
And I made a bad decision
I admit to making a regrettable decision
So I take myself away in a whirlwind of emotion, bubbles all around me, yeah
I immerse myself in a whirlwind of emotions, trying to escape reality, represented by bubbles
I’m drowning in this ocean
I feel overwhelmed and immersed in a sea of emotions
The clouds that came in, they settled down hard
The emotional clouds have settled heavily, making progress difficult
I don’t think that I’m gonna get far
I doubt my ability to move forward
If you get with me, you don’t have to worry about hovering
If you're with me, you won't need to worry about me being overly attentive
Because I’m too busy covering my pain
I'm preoccupied with concealing my emotional pain
Burying it in angst with my teenage poems
I cope by burying my pain in angst through my teenage poems
Talking about life, death, love, and all our crazy wacky motives
My poems touch on life, death, love, and our unpredictable motives
You look at me, your Average Joe
You perceive me as an ordinary person
That’s what she called me, she loved me so
Someone you loved referred to me as "Average Joe"
Yell my name in this dark abyss
Your passionate call echoes in the darkness
My love for you will never miss
My love for you will never wane
I watch as you fall in his arms, an overwhelming sound fills my head
I witness you falling into the arms of another, and a deafening alarm goes off in my head
I’m deafened by alarms
I'm overwhelmed by emotional alarms
I’m crying in west Plano
I'm shedding tears in west Plano
You’re laughing in Toronto
While you're joyfully laughing in Toronto
I’m sobbing in the sewers
I'm sobbing in the depths, symbolized by sewers
You’re giving him full body tours
You're intimately exploring his entire body
His long hair and brown eyes, are they better than mine
I question whether his physical features surpass mine
They say there’s a million fish in the sea
The saying about plenty of fish in the sea is acknowledged
But damnit I had the perfect catch you see
I had the perfect catch, but due to my lack of skill (knowing how to fish), I let it go
But I didn’t know how to fish, so I let it go
The skies are dark, and ominous crows are present
Dark skies and black crows
Questioning the purpose and value of existence
What’s even here
Expressing uncertainty about the surroundings
Why are you here
Pondering why you are present in this context
Who are you, who are we
Identity and purpose are questioned
Why are we so selfishly driven by fear
Reflecting on the selfish nature driven by fear
Maybe it’s because of the overwhelming dread
Speculating that overwhelming dread is the cause of our actions
Of the monster under your bed
Mentioning the fear of monsters under the bed
Or the monster in your head
Suggesting the presence of inner demons causing distress
Who creeps and crawls so awful in the night
Describing a haunting and malevolent entity in the night
Feeds on your broken heart in the tattered moonlight
The entity feeds on the narrator's broken heart in the moonlight
