Harmless
Harmless Reverie: Finding Peace Amidst Chaos
Lyrics
There's a crab apple tree that's been flourishing freely
Describing a crab apple tree flourishing freely by the train tracks.
On the side of the train tracks, down by me
Reiterating the presence of a flourishing crab apple tree by the train tracks.
There's a crab apple tree that's been flourishing freely
Continuation of the description of the crab apple tree.
On the side of the train tracks, down by me
Reiteration of the flourishing crab apple tree by the train tracks.
And it made me angry with no fury
Expressing anger or frustration about the tree's presence.
A sight for sore eyes to see
Describing the tree as a displeasing sight.
But have you got any [?] left for me
Inquiring about something (represented by [?]) from someone.
'Cause I'm feeling left out
Feeling left out and seeking inclusion.
Like a drunken thug who missed a [?] in a fight
Comparing oneself to a drunken thug who missed something in a fight.
Everybody's asking where's the black eye?
Others asking about a black eye, possibly a metaphor for visible struggles.
And I'm faithfully alone again
Expressing loneliness and solitude.
Left alone in this big old bed
Reiteration of being alone in a large bed.
Thrashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves
Describing inner turmoil metaphorically as a toothless shark in cotton waves.
And I'm faithfully alone again
Reiteration of being alone in a large bed.
Left alone in this big old bed
Reiteration of solitude in a big bed.
Thrashing about like a toothless shark in cotton waves
Metaphorically describing inner turmoil as a toothless shark.
Like a wicked child left to fend in the wilderness
Comparing oneself to a wicked child left to fend in the wilderness.
But I was taken in by the wolves
Being influenced or deceived by negative forces represented as wolves.
Taught me how to howl at the moon
Learning undesirable traits from negative influences.
It doesn't take me long to forget about you
Quickly forgetting about someone, possibly due to a history of being emotionally distant.
When I'm well-known for being aloof
Being known for emotional aloofness.
Oh, if I was cursed, then I guess that we were cursed too
Speculating about a possible curse or shared misfortune.
Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy
Expressing hope for future happiness despite current challenges.
And I'll stop searching for something
Expressing a desire to stop searching for conflict or challenges.
Someday I'll get to be disgustingly happy
Reiteration of the hope for future happiness.
And I'll stop searching for something to fight me
Expressing a desire to stop seeking challenges or conflicts.
Oh, I'm harmless
Affirmation of being harmless, possibly despite appearances.
I'm calmless
Creating a play on words, suggesting calmness despite the absence of "calm" in the word.
I'm harmless
Reiteration of being harmless, possibly emphasizing non-threatening nature.
