Let's Drink a Beer
Resolving Troubles with a Toast: Let's Drink a Beer
Lyrics
1,2,3 the phone's for me yeah
Expressing reluctance to answer the phone.
I don't want to get it but my mind disagrees
Internal conflict between not wanting to answer the phone and the mind's disagreement.
Running out of patience but I can't break away
Feeling impatient but unable to break away from the situation.
And now it's taking so long to find a resolution
Problems taking a long time to resolve.
The pain I'm going through there must be a solution
Experiencing pain with a desire for a solution.
I can't be the one to give her total absolution
Reluctance to provide complete forgiveness or absolution.
I'll send her nothing good
Commitment to not sending anything positive in the current state of mind.
Does it make you feel good to make me miserable
Questioning the motivation behind making someone miserable.
Or is a power struggle completely unfeasible
Exploring the feasibility of a power struggle in the relationship.
Every time we speak you're convinced I'm unreasonable
Expressing frustration with the perception of being unreasonable.
I'll get through it I've found another way
Confidence in finding an alternative way to cope.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Suggesting the clarity found in the act of drinking a beer.
Everything I say seems to get me in trouble
Feeling that words lead to trouble and seeking solace in alcohol.
I only feel better when I'm seeing double
Expressing a preference for being inebriated.
Now there's someone else I think that we can resolve it tonight
Belief that resolving issues is possible with someone else, especially when under the influence.
It's going to be alright
Optimistic view that everything will be okay.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, 'cause tonight is all that's here
Reiterating the clarity found in drinking a beer, emphasizing the present moment.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Emphasizing the clearness found in the act of drinking a beer.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to you I send my only friend
Expressing a connection between drinking a beer and sending thoughts to a friend.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to anaesthetise my fear
Linking beer consumption to numbing fear or anxiety.
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, destroy your fear
Suggesting the power of beer to overcome fear.
Gone so long the days for thinking, hear that final call for drinking
Describing a longing for the end of contemplation and a call to drink.
I know there's been a lot of problems, not too many ways to solve them
Acknowledging problems with limited solutions.
Seems hopeless what can be done yet, I feel the need for icy comfort
Feeling a sense of hopelessness but seeking comfort in alcohol.
Let's drink a beer
Reiterating the call to drink a beer as a solution or coping mechanism.
