Lyrics
So it seems
Expressing an observation or realization.
there ain't no means
Suggesting a lack of available methods or resources.
by which conventions can hold us down
Challenging societal norms and restrictions.
I don't know
Uncertain about the course of action.
what I'd do now
Contemplating a response or reaction.
if I saw you in town
Picturing a hypothetical encounter in town.
The cat is out of the bag
Revealing a secret or truth that was hidden.
the hatchet's well over ground
Conflict or issue has been resolved or buried.
Family life fucks you up
Reflecting on the negative impact of family life.
family life's wild
Describing the unpredictable nature of family life.
Ain't no way around it
Acknowledging the inevitability of challenges.
Damned I had to go back and try to get my head around
Expressing frustration about revisiting the past.
The same old question of who needs who and what was true
Revisiting the question of mutual dependence and truth.
Damned I had to go back and try to get my head around you
Continuing the struggle to understand someone.
Everything I thought was true
Realization that previous beliefs were distorted.
turned so ugly and skewed
Things have become unpleasant and distorted.
I'll never see you and you'll never see me
Acceptance of a permanent separation.
across the kiddie table again
Recalling a specific moment of detachment.
Family life fucks you up
Reiterating the negative impact of family life.
family life's wild
Reemphasizing the unpredictable nature of family life.
Ain't no way around it
Repeating the inevitability of challenges in family life.
Damned I had to go back and try to get my head around
Expressing frustration about revisiting the past again.
The same old question of who needs who and what was true
Revisiting the persistent question of mutual dependence and truth.
Damned I had to go back and try to get my head around you
Continuing the struggle to understand someone (repetition).
