Stepping Stone
Jimi Hendrix's Blues Odyssey: Seeking Love, Battling Demons
Lyrics
I sure got the blues this morning, baby
Expressing feeling down or melancholic early in the day
Yeah! And I'm here to tell you about it
Introducing the topic of feeling blue
So you might as well pick up on it! Yeah!
Encouraging attention or understanding of the situation
I'm a man
Identifying oneself as a man
At least I'm tryin' to be
Striving to fulfill the role of a man
I've lived before
Acknowledging previous experiences or existence
The other half of me
Referencing a different aspect or side of oneself
I've lived before
Reiterating a past existence or experience
That you don't want me
Recognizing rejection from someone
But in this search
Searching desperately but in vain
For nothing desperately
Struggling for something despite it being futile
Oh, I'm tryin' tryin'
Trying hard, making an effort
Not to be a fool
Avoiding foolishness or mistakes
I'm tryin' tryin'
Continuing to make an effort
Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin' so hard to keep it together
Struggling to maintain composure or control
After I find, baby
After discovering true love
That true love of mine
Reacting emotionally or intensely
I'm just rollin' screamin'
Expressing distress or turmoil
Cryin' flyin'
Feeling overwhelmed and emotional
Can't be trusted, but busted
Feeling unreliable or betrayed
Rolling Stone
Reference to the Rolling Stones
You're a woman
Identifying someone as a woman
At least you say you are
Asserting identity as a woman
You're a woman
Perceiving someone as a woman based on appearance
At least you look like you are
Suggesting that someone physically resembles a woman
You're a woman
Noticing qualities or traits associated with a woman
At least you taste like you are
Commenting on sensory experience related to a woman
But you can take it off
Suggesting intimacy or closeness
In bed with my guitar
Connecting emotionally or artistically
And then you leave them
Being abandoned or left alone
Throw me outside
Being rejected harshly
To cry, cry
Expressing deep sorrow or distress
To the moon and the nighttime
Desiring salvation or redemption
Save my soul,
Seeking assistance or help for the soul
You can't find
Feeling lost or unable to locate something important
All you want is a ticket to ride
Desiring only an opportunity or chance
After you show me everything
After being shown something, realizing the truth
It did prove otherwise
Expressing disappointment or contrast
You just rollin', screamin', cryin'
Reacting emotionally and intensely again
Good love is sometime, but can't be trusted
Reflecting on the unreliability of good love
Steppin' Stone
Being treated as a mere step towards a goal
Steppin' Stone
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being used or discarded
Steppin' Stone
Reiteration, reinforcing the notion of being a disposable step
