Love's Drought: Unveiling the Arid Heart in 'Bone Dry'
Lyrics
Verse:
Verse
You thought my heart was a mountain stream
You believed my heart was full of endless love for you, like a steady mountain stream.
With endless love for you
You assumed that I'd remain faithful and true no matter how far you went or what you did.
You can go too far do anything
However, there's a limit to how much one can endure.
And I'd be faithful and true
But you returned to me repeatedly, perhaps expecting loyalty.
But you came back to the well
Yet, you finally crossed a line by coming back once too often.
One too many times
Maybe you were shocked to realize
Bet you were surprised to find that I'm

Chorus
Bone dry
I'm emotionally drained to the point of being unable to shed tears.
I don't cry not a feeling in my eye
I'm so devoid of emotion that I can't even cry.
Burned up burned down like a field of corn in a summer drought
I feel completely burnt out and destroyed, like a field of corn in a severe summer drought.
My heart's been parched of everything inside
My heart is empty and devoid of everything it once held.
Like a rattlesnake sunbaked buzzard on a hotplate
My state of emptiness is likened to a parched and dry desert-like existence.
No fan too tan nothing here but hot sand
There's nothing here but scorching heat and barrenness.
Noon high sunlight coming from the blistering sky
Describes the intense, harsh sunlight at noon under a blistering sky.
Bone dry
Reiteration of feeling emotionally desolate and dry.

Verse
Where tears once flowed like a river
Where there used to be an abundance of tears expressing emotions,
Not a trace of water around
Now, there's not even a hint of moisture or emotion left.
Where love was once as deep as the sea
Where love was profound and extensive,
There's just a hole in the ground
There's now only an empty void.
The last time you left
Your departure the last time might have been the turning point.
Must have turned the tide
It potentially changed the course of emotions or situations.
Cause here before you now I find that I'm

Bone dry
Reiteration of emotional emptiness and inability to cry.
I don't cry not a feeling in my eye
Continued emotional numbness.
Burned up burned down like a field of corn in a summer drought
Describing the feeling of complete depletion and desolation.
My heart's been parched of everything inside
My heart has been drained of everything it once contained.
Like a rattlesnake sunbaked buzzard on a hotplate
Comparing emotional emptiness to the harsh, dry existence of certain animals in a desert-like environment.
No fan too tan nothing here but hot sand
No relief or respite, just relentless heat and barrenness.
Noon high sunlight coming from the blistering sky
Reiterating the scorching intensity of the sunlight.
Bone dry
