Loners
Embracing Solitude: Jordan Foley & The Wheelhouse's Tale of Liberation
Lyrics
Well lately life has been pretty easy
Expressing a recent period of ease in life.
And everything's been going my way
Highlighting positive outcomes in various aspects.
The city lights they guide me through
City lights symbolize guidance, except in the context of the relationship referred to in the following lines.
Except for when it comes to you
City lights don't help in dealing with the mentioned person.
I can't stress this anymore
Emphasizing a point, perhaps frustration or urgency.
And I'm going to walk out that door
Deciding to leave the situation.
But this bad love ain't doin' no good
The relationship is harmful, and the singer wishes for understanding.
I simply wish you understood
Expressing a desire for comprehension from the other person.
I'm a loner on the road
Identifying as a loner traveling the road alone.
Going down it all alone
Emphasizing independence and self-sufficiency.
I don't need you anymore
No longer needing the person's involvement.
To muck up and fuck up this course
Avoiding interference in the current path or plans.
You think you got it all figured out
Suggesting the person thinks they have everything figured out.
Like it's a marathon with all the doubts
Comparing life to a marathon filled with uncertainties.
The forest is calling me
Desiring a connection with nature, possibly seeking solace.
So just go and let me breathe
Asking the person to let go and allow freedom.
I don't like it when you scream and shout
Expressing discomfort with conflict and noise.
I don't know what that's all about
Confusion about the reasons behind the person's behavior.
But you leave me here with nothing
Feeling abandoned without anything but negative influences.
Except the whiskey and this diamond ring
Being left with alcohol and a symbol of failed commitment (diamond ring).
I'm a loner (he's a loner) on the road (on the road)
Reiteration of being a loner on the road.
Going to down it all alone (all alone)
Emphasizing the solitary journey.
I don't need you (he doesn't need you) anymore (anymore)
Affirming independence from the person.
To bitch out and switch out this course
Avoiding negativity and changes in direction caused by the person.
I'm a loner (he's a loner) on the road (on the road)
Repetition for emphasis on being a loner.
I'm a loner (he's a loner) on the road (on the road)
Repetition emphasizing solitude on the road.
I'm a loner (he's a loner) on the road (on the road)
Further emphasis on being a loner on the road.
Going down it all alone (down it all alone)
Reiterating the solitary journey.
I don't need you (he doesn't need you) anymore (anymore)
Affirming independence from the person.
To muck up and fuck up this course
Avoiding interference and negative influences.
I'm a loner on the road
Reiteration of being a loner on the road.
I'm a loner on the road
Repetition for emphasis on solitude.
I'm a loner on the road
Further emphasis on being a loner.
I'm a loner on the road, on the road
Continued emphasis on solitude on the road.
I'm a loner on the road
Reiteration of being a loner.
I'm a loner on the road, on the road
Continued emphasis on solitude on the road.
I'm a loner on the road
Reiteration of being a loner.
I'm a loner on the road, on the road, on the road
Continued emphasis on solitude on the road.
I'm a loner on the road
Final repetition of being a loner on the road.
