Wishing
Wishing Away Misery: Hootie & the Blowfish Song Meaning
Lyrics
At least you tried
Expressing acknowledgment for attempting something, even if unsuccessful.
That's more than anyone around you
Highlighting the value of effort, suggesting it surpasses the actions of those around.
And if you lied
Pondering the consequences if one were to be untruthful.
Would it fade out of your memory
Questioning whether a lie would be easily forgotten or persist in memory.
Wishing it all away from you
Desiring to eliminate or distance oneself from various issues or challenges.
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Suggesting a predominant reliance on wishful thinking without concrete action.
Wish I was here with you
Expressing a desire to be present with someone for emotional well-being.
Then I'd be fine
Imagining that being with a specific person would bring contentment.
And if you died
Exploring the scenario of one's passing and the reactions of those left behind.
Would they gather all around you
Questioning whether people would gather and show support in the event of death.
And if you cried
Contemplating the impact of expressing emotions through tears.
Would it wash away your misery
Wondering if crying would serve as a cathartic release from suffering.
It's worse at night
Describing a heightened sense of difficulty or discomfort during nighttime.
Spirits flying all around you
Introducing a surreal element with spirits hovering around during difficult times.
Without the light
Emphasizing the challenge of facing issues without clarity or illumination.
They can take away your sanity
Warning that, without guidance, external forces may threaten mental stability.
Wishing it all away from you
Reiterating the desire to escape or remove challenges through wishing.
Wishing is all you'll ever do
Emphasizing the recurring reliance on wishful thinking as the primary coping mechanism.
Wish I was here with you
Expressing the wish to be with someone specific for personal well-being.
Then I'd be fine
Reiterating that being with a particular person would bring contentment and satisfaction.
