Blues Can't Even Find Me
Lost in a Digital Blues Symphony
Lyrics
World is closin' in on me
Feeling overwhelmed by the world closing in.
Don't know what to do
Uncertain about how to navigate current challenges.
Can't see the big picture anymore
Unable to grasp the overall perspective.
If there's even one to view
Doubtful if there's a positive perspective to see.
Wife keeps pushin' buttons
Feeling pressured by the spouse's actions.
Spend all day starin' at a little screen
Engaged in technology, possibly losing connection.
I'm feelin' invisible
Experiencing a sense of invisibility or neglect.
The blues can't even find me
Despite feeling down, the traditional blues can't reach the speaker.
Wish I had a name for feelin' nothin'
Longing for a term to describe emotional numbness.
Wish I still had my old address
Nostalgic for a past address and stability.
Where anyone could come on over
Desiring a time when friends could easily help in difficult situations.
And just put me in a mess
Reflecting on chaos and disruption as a common state.
Now I'm tellin' everybody
Sharing personal struggles openly.
When we'll be takin' our next breath
Announcing uncertainty about the future.
Blues can't even find me
The blues are ineffective in reaching the speaker.
Like we never even met
Acting as if the relationship never happened.
She cried all the way to Memphis
Describing a sad journey to Memphis with children.
With the kids in back
Children are in the back seat during the emotional journey.
And only me to talk it out with
Lamenting the loss of a confidant to talk to.
Used to be like that
Reminiscing about a time when communication was more open.
Now there's fifty people in the car
Noticing an increase in people and complexity in life.
And the kids are grown
Children have grown up, and life has changed.
And I've heard her side fifty times
Repeated exposure to the spouse's viewpoint.
Talkin' on her cell phone
Communication reduced to phone conversations.
Now we're just so lonely
Feeling isolated and regretful.
And there's no turnin' back
No possibility of returning to a previous state.
It's virtually impossible
Expressing the difficulty of change.
But I can live with that
Accepting the challenging situation.
I wouldn't want in on this train wreck
Declining involvement in a chaotic situation.
Wouldn't wanna be on this last date
Rejecting participation in a doomed scenario.
Now the blues can't even find me
Reiteration that the blues can't affect the speaker.
All I know to do is wait
Remaining in a state of uncertainty.
Now the blues can't even find me
Repeating the idea that the blues cannot reach the speaker.
All I know to do is wait
Acceptance and patience in dealing with the situation.
