Superstition
Navigating Life's Mysteries: Unveiling Superstitions in Glenn Lewis' Song
Lyrics
Very superstitious, writing on the wall
Caution against superstition, implying foreboding signs
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Warning about potential misfortune, using a falling ladder as an example
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Highlighting a superstitious event involving a broken mirror and a young child
Seven years of bad luck, the good things in your past
Suggesting consequences (seven years of bad luck) for superstitions and dwelling on the past
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Encouraging skepticism towards unexplained beliefs and practices
Then you suffer
Expressing the negative outcome of blindly accepting uncomprehended beliefs
Superstition ain't the way
Rejecting the idea that superstition is a viable or effective way of living
Very superstitious, wash your face and hands
Advising to engage in practical actions, like washing face and hands, to counter superstitions
Rid me of the problem, do all that you can
Emphasizing the urgency to resolve problems and eliminate superstitious beliefs
Keep me in a daydream, keep me goin' strong
Expressing a desire for positive thoughts and dreams to persist
You don't wanna save me, sad is my song
Suggesting that ignoring the plea for help will result in a melancholic outcome
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Reiteration of the caution against believing in unexplained things
Then you suffer
Reinforcing the negative consequences of unquestioning belief
Superstition ain't the way, yeh, yeh
Repeating the rejection of superstition as a beneficial way of life
Very superstitious, nothin' more to say
Declaring the futility of discussing superstition further
Very superstitious, the devil's on his way
Implying an impending negative force (the devil) associated with superstition
Thirteen month old baby, broke the lookin' glass
Recalling a similar superstitious event involving a child and a broken mirror
Seven years of bad luck, good things in your past
Reiterating the consequences of superstition and contrasting with past positive experiences
When you believe in things that you don't understand
Continuing to caution against believing in incomprehensible things
Then you suffer, superstition ain't the way, no, no, no
Reinforcing the idea that embracing superstition leads to suffering
