Cryin' Shame
Echoes of Lost Desires: Ethan Timm's 'Cryin' Shame' Reflection
Lyrics
Ain't it a cryin' shame
A lamentable situation
To lose to yourself time and time again
Repeating the pattern of losing to oneself
To feel the strength of fifty men
Experiencing great strength
Only fifty percent of the time
Utilizing full potential only half of the time
Ain't it a cryin' shame
Expressing sadness and disappointment
To walk inside and sign your name
Entering a place and committing to return daily
To swear you'll come back every day
Making a promise to come back consistently
But never draw the line
Failing to set boundaries
Feel that old spark again
Recapturing a past enthusiasm
Building to a fire
Progressing towards a passionate state
Heat coursing through my veins
Feeling intense heat and energy
Fueling my desire
Being motivated by desire
But even the very fires of hell
Even strong emotions have a limited duration
Will only last so long
Acknowledging the temporary nature of intense experiences
I feel it fading even now
Sensing the fading of a powerful sensation
How does it feel baby
Asking about the emotional experience when it disappears
When it's gone
Inquiring about the feeling of loss
Ain't it a cryin' shame
Reiterating the sadness and disappointment
To take one step forward and one step back
Making minimal progress, facing setbacks
To know exactly what I lack
Understanding one's deficiencies
Oh something so hard to find
Describing something elusive and hard to find
