Pick Up The Pieces
Life's Blues Symphony: Picking Up Broken Melodies
Lyrics
What did I say, what did I do
Reflecting on actions and words spoken in a situation.
Look in the mirror, I'm black and blue
Physical and emotional aftermath is evident.
Some Johnnie Walker Black and some Dunhill Reds
Referencing Johnnie Walker Black and Dunhill Reds, possibly indicating a rough lifestyle.
Starting to think it was something I said
Suspecting personal responsibility for the situation.
It's getting kinda late and we both know
Recognizing the late hour and the need to address the situation.
Time to pick up the pieces
Deciding to take control and handle the aftermath.
Pick up the pieces and go
Resolving to move forward and leave the past behind.
It's not so hard living life on the skids
Acknowledging the challenges of a difficult life.
I'm alright, it's kinda hard on my kids
Balancing personal well-being with the impact on children.
Easy for you to pass judgin' on my life
Addressing judgment from others about life choices.
But you don't, you don't have my four ex wives
Highlighting the complexity of multiple failed marriages.
I may not place or show
Accepting a position of not achieving top success.
But I pick up the pieces
Committing to the process of recovery and moving forward.
Pick up the pieces and go
Reiterating the determination to pick up the pieces and move on.
Oh listen here
Transitioning to a new narrative or perspective.
I worked part time but I got fired
Experiencing job loss, emphasizing the challenges of personal identity.
'Cause it's a full time job just being me
Life itself is a demanding and continuous task.
Can't blame the boss if you don't show up
Highlighting personal responsibility and accountability.
Can't blame your car if you ride the bus
Emphasizing accountability for one's choices.
Burning bridges, you reap what you sow
Consequences of burning bridges and not considering future outcomes.
I gots to pick up the pieces
The need to address and rectify past mistakes.
Pick up the pieces and go
Reaffirming the commitment to pick up the pieces and move on.
I hear you're a producer, produce me some wine
Referencing a profession, possibly seeking help or solutions.
They pulled my over on my ten speed bike
Encountering legal issues while engaging in an unconventional mode of transportation.
Who knew you still could get a DUI
Surprised by legal consequences despite an unconventional situation.
Like what they've done with the early kind of jail
Observing changes in the prison system.
My lawyer says I'm too broke to post bail
Facing financial constraints preventing bail payment.
Maybe I could work and sweep the floors
Considering alternative ways to overcome challenges.
Until they pick up the pieces
Committing to work hard to improve the situation.
Pick up the pieces and go
Reiterating the determination to pick up the pieces and move forward.
Oh man
Expressing frustration or disbelief about the situation.
Try to tell me I was drunk and disorderly
Encountering accusations of misbehavior and disorderly conduct.
Pick up the pieces and go
Reiterating the commitment to pick up the pieces and move on.
I was just drunk
Clarifying the influence of alcohol on behavior.
Well maybe a little disorderly
Admitting to some disorderly behavior but emphasizing the influence of alcohol.
Pick up the pieces and go
Reaffirming the commitment to pick up the pieces and move forward.
