Playing Your Song
Echoes of Desperation: Hey Mercedes' Melodic Tale of Broken Lives
Lyrics
Kevin kills his eleventh Olympia
Kevin is consuming his eleventh Olympia beer.
And carries Karen out to the car
Kevin is escorting Karen to the car.
The lies are piling up so high
The lies in Kevin's life have accumulated significantly.
That he can't sleep at night
Kevin's guilt and deceit prevent him from sleeping at night.
Kevin cares for still another
Kevin is involved with another undesirable companion in bed.
Awful company in bed
The mess in Kevin's life, both physical and emotional, is overwhelming.
The clothes are piling up so high now
The clutter of clothes has reached a point of chaos in Kevin's mind.
Out of his head
Kevin is mentally overwhelmed and struggling.
Go around sun
An encouragement to move forward, represented by the sun.
Get your head on
A directive to focus and gather oneself.
Go get her
Encouraging Kevin to pursue someone (possibly Karen).
Your watching her walk away
Observing Kevin as he watches someone, possibly Karen, walk away.
Go around sun
A repetition of the encouragement to move forward, symbolized by the sun.
Run along
Encouragement to keep going and not dwell on the past.
The stereos on
The stereo playing a song that resonates with Kevin's emotions.
They're playing your fucking song
An acknowledgment that the song playing reflects Kevin's feelings.
Kevin holds his hell so tightly
Kevin conceals his struggles and pain.
And never ever lets you see
Kevin is guarded and doesn't reveal his inner turmoil.
The ride can only go so high now
Life's highs are limited, and changes are inevitable.
Our lives are all changing
A reflection on the constant evolution and unpredictability of life.
Go around sun
A repetition of the encouragement to move forward, symbolized by the sun.
Get your head on
A reminder to stay focused and maintain clarity.
Go get her
An echo of the earlier encouragement to pursue someone.
Your watching her walk away
Observing Kevin as he watches someone, possibly Karen, walk away (repeated).
Go around sun
A repetition of the encouragement to move forward, symbolized by the sun (repeated).
Run along
A renewed directive to keep moving forward.
The stereos on
The stereo playing a song that resonates with Kevin's emotions (repeated).
They're playing your fucking song
An acknowledgment that the song playing reflects Kevin's feelings (repeated).
