I Don't Wanna Work on This Song No More
Breaking Free: Escaping the Chains of Creativity
Lyrics
I don't wanna, I don't wanna work on this song no more
I feel a strong reluctance to continue working on this song.
I've barely necked me breakfast and me nerves are already raw
Having just started my day, I'm already feeling stressed and on edge.
I've a mind to screw this paper up
I am considering crumpling the paper with the lyrics and discarding it.
And chuck it in the bin on the floor
Expressing frustration, contemplating throwing away the work.
Cos I don't wanna, I don't wanna work on this song no more
Reiterating the strong desire to stop working on the song.
My Tanglewood got pregnant with another song that wanted to live
Metaphorically, another creative idea (song) emerged while working on this one.
So I made a pot of Hot Java Lava, and I tried to get positive
Making an effort to stay positive, using the metaphor of a pot of coffee.
The caffeine ploughed some memories out
Caffeine-induced reflection brings up memories, possibly unpleasant ones.
They were darker than the brew
The memories recalled are darker and negative.
Now I don't wanna, I don't wanna go back there with you
Strongly refusing to revisit those dark memories with someone.
(chorus)
Chorus - Repeating the desire to avoid working on the song.
Well, I tried to drive the anger out so I got into the car
Attempting to distract from negative feelings, driving to get away.
Where the writing on the rear view sent me back to my guitar
Seeing a message on the rearview mirror that reminds me of my guitar and songwriting.
It's said objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
A metaphorical reflection on the past, suggesting it's closer than it seems.
And I don't want to look back when the road ahead is clear
Choosing not to dwell on the past and to focus on the clear road ahead.
(chorus)
Chorus - Repeating the desire to avoid working on the song.
Sometimes there are melodies that will not leave your brain
Acknowledging persistent melodies that stay in the mind.
And sometimes there are memories that should not be unchained
Recognizing memories that should not be brought back or revisited.
But always there are choices, which ones to entertain
Highlighting the existence of choices, suggesting caution in which memories to entertain.
(musical interlude)
Instrumental break in the song.
And I don't wanna, I don't wanna go back there again.
Reiterating the strong aversion to going back to a certain place or state of mind.
(chorus)
Chorus - Repeating the desire to avoid working on the song.
