Crazy Man
Crazy Man Chronicles: A Ballad of Rebellion and Redemption
Lyrics
Just sittin' here waitin' for the world to end
Expressing a sense of resignation or anticipation for challenging times.
Lucky that I got a hand full of friends
Grateful for the support of a few close friends.
'Cause I got their back and they've got mine
Emphasizing mutual loyalty among friends.
We've done a lot a barkin' but little a bite
Referring to talking a lot but taking minimal action.
There's nothin' gonna keep me from destiny
Determined and unstoppable in pursuing personal goals.
I'm bound to go down in history
Desiring to leave a lasting mark in history.
As a crazy man
Self-aware acknowledgment of being perceived as eccentric or unconventional.
I've done it all wrong again and again
Admitting repeated mistakes and missteps in life.
There ain't many folks that can understand
Feeling misunderstood by many people.
The Lord made me as a crazy man
Believing that the divine has intentionally created them as an unconventional individual.
I quit a job that others would kill to get
Choosing to leave a secure job for a more unconventional path.
Thirty-three married with children
Describing personal circumstances - age and family commitments.
So I could sing songs about sin and grief
Pursuing a career in music that reflects darker aspects of life.
Penned by some other lunatics like me
Acknowledging shared creativity with fellow unconventional artists.
Tragic tales of right and wrong
Referring to the recurring theme of moral struggles in their songs.
They've all died so I carry on
Continuing the artistic legacy of those who explored similar themes.
As a crazy man
Reiterating the self-awareness of being perceived as crazy.
I've done it all wrong again and again
Acknowledging repeated personal failures.
There ain't many folks that can understand
Expressing the difficulty of finding understanding from others.
The Lord made me as a crazy man
Believing their unconventional nature is part of a divine plan.
There's nothin' gonna keep me from destiny
Reiterating determination and a belief in a destined path.
I'm bound to go down in history
Desiring to be remembered in history as a unique individual.
As a crazy man
Reaffirming the self-perception of being crazy.
I've done it all wrong again and again
Admitting to repeated mistakes and challenges.
There ain't many folks that can understand
Expressing the difficulty of finding understanding from others.
The Lord made me as a crazy man
Believing their unconventional nature is part of a divine plan.
The Lord made me as a crazy man
Reiterating the belief that their eccentricity is divinely ordained.
