An Old Man Like Me
Unveiling the Silent Struggles of An Old Man Through Intoxicating Nights
Lyrics
A ragged old man holds up a sign
A worn-out elderly man displays a sign
The front begs for whiskey, the back the end is nigh
The front of the sign requests whiskey, while the back suggests the imminent end
Everyone has an opinion on how to fix his life
Various people offer their opinions on how to improve his life
But no one asked what he wants
No one inquires about his desires or preferences
An old man like me, drinks a 4 Loko a day
An elderly person like me consumes a 4 Loko daily
Alcohol numbs the night, caffeine to stay awake
Alcohol helps numb the night, and caffeine is used to stay awake
Ain't no way I'm gonna sleep with
I won't sleep with the debauchery around me
Sodom and Gomorrah around me
Referring to a chaotic or morally degraded environment
Every single night
This situation occurs every single night
The footsteps bang
The footsteps resound loudly
Like hail hitting pavement
Similar to hail hitting the pavement
The thuds keeping pace
The thuds maintain a rhythmic pace
Not to be a hypocrite, but I know my limit
Although aware of personal limits, they are consistently exceeded
I surpass it each night, cause I can't keep with it
Due to an inability to keep up with the demands
The constant berading eyes and murmurs
Constant judgmental gazes and murmurs
Diverted around me
Diverted around me, possibly avoiding direct confrontation
Do they think I'm deaf
Wondering if observers assume deafness
Do they think I'm blind
Questioning if observers believe in visual impairment
Despite my old age, my body's working fine.
Despite old age, the body functions normally
All these drunken 20s, 30s, 40s
Reference to people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s who are intoxicated
All something's
Alluding to unspecified individuals or situations
Every single night
This scenario repeats every night
The footsteps bang
Footsteps echoing loudly again
Like hail hitting pavement
Comparable to hail hitting the pavement
The thuds keeping pace
The thuds maintaining a rhythmic pace once more
Do they think I'm deaf
Pondering if observers assume deafness (repeated)
Do they think I'm blind
Questioning if observers believe in visual impairment (repeated)
Despite my old age, my body's working fine
Despite old age, the body functions normally (repeated)
All these drunken fuckers
Reference to intoxicated individuals with a strong expression
