So Hard to Find My Way
Struggles of Unspoken Lives
Lyrics
He walks around with his hands in his pockets
He habitually walks around with his hands in his pockets.
got a picture of his baby on a chain in a locket
He carries a picture of his baby in a locket hanging from a chain.
he needs her love so bad, but she?ll never know
He deeply craves his baby's love, but she remains oblivious to it.
cause he won?t ever tell her
He refrains from expressing his feelings to her.
and it?s so hard to find my way
Expressing the difficulty in finding his way in life.
so hard to find my way
-so hard to find my way
-Poor Richard?s got himself a banjo

kid this might be my lucky day
-and it?s so hard to find my way

so hard to find my way
-so hard to find my way
-red robin?s been a-workin in the kitchen

got everything she needs, but everything?s a-missing
Despite having everything, there is a sense of lack.
she grew up with the radio, tattoo on
Red Robin grew up with the radio, and a tattoo on her hip serves as a reminder.
her hip is to remind her so....
-that it?s so hard to find my way
Repetition of the difficulty in finding one's way.
so hard to find my way
-so hard to find my way
-you can say what you want
Expressing the idea that some aspects of life are beyond control and are predetermined.
you can do what you do
-but sometimes some things are chosen for you
-the life that you want and the life that you?ve been given
-are sometimes not even the life you?ve been living
-I know a man who?s been working for the city
A man working for the city whose life is unfulfilling.
he pays his rent but his life is just a pitty
He pays rent, but his life is pitiful.
he says: ?nothing?s gonna change around here,

im the same old man I?ve been for nearly 20 years?
-it?s so hard to find my way
Reiteration of the challenge in finding one's way in life.
so hard to find my way
-so hard to find my way
-She turns heads wherever she?s a-walking
A woman who attracts attention while walking.
she never speaks she lets her body do the talkin?
She communicates non-verbally, letting her body do the talking.
she?s daddy?s little baby girl
She is portrayed as someone's baby girl.
but she ain?t living in daddy?s world
Despite being daddy's girl, she is not confined to her father's world.
