Fly In the Ointment
Navigating Life's Interruptions: Fly In the Ointment Meaning Revealed
Lyrics
I was on my wall
I was in a situation or position.
Minding my own business
Focused on my own affairs.
When a man walk up to me
A man approached me.
And he said "Hey don't fall
He advised me not to fall.
And anyways
Regardless,
What's a nice guy like you doing sitting on the wall?"
He questioned why a nice person like me was on the wall.
And I said
I responded.
"I don't like flies in my ointment
I dislike disruptions or annoyances.
And that's what you are
Referring to the man as a disturbance.
You'll make me late for my appointment
He might make me late for a scheduled event.
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar"
Specifically, a meeting with my best friend at a bar.
Well I was down on the ground
I was at a lower position.
Minding my own business when a snail slid up to me
Engaged in my own affairs.
And he said "Hey, slow down
A snail approached me.
And anyways, you ain't got no business rushing around"
It advised me to slow down.
And I said
I expressed my displeasure.
"Stop acting like a fly in my ointment
Comparing the snail to an annoyance.
Cause that's what you are
He might cause me to be late for an appointment.
You'll make me late for my appointment
Similar to the first instance, a meeting at a bar.
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar"
I was high in the sky
I was in a high position.
Minding my own business when a jumbo jet flew by
Focused on my own affairs.
And all the people inside
A jumbo jet passed by.
Staring out the window giving me the evil eye
Passengers inside stared at me negatively.
And I said
I expressed feeling like an annoyance.
" I feel like a fly in the ointment
Comparing myself to a disturbance.
And I don't know why
Feeling uncertain about the reason.
Please help me I'm late for my appointment
Pleading for help as I'm running late.
Late for my appointment with my best friend in the bar
Reiterating the appointment at the bar with my best friend.
He's waiting in the bar
Confirming the friend's presence in the bar.
He's waiting in the bar"
