Lyrics
Well I've been drinkin' again
Expressing the act of drinking alcohol.
And I know it's a sin
Acknowledging that drinking is considered a sin.
But I just can't refuse an old friend
Choosing to indulge in drinking despite its negative connotations, as a way to cope with difficulties.
'Cause life is gettin' me down
Feeling overwhelmed by life's challenges.
And I been two times around
Having experienced the hardships of life twice already.
And there ain't nothing but pain around the bend
Expressing a sense of despair and pain in the future.
I'm not made for the time
Feeling out of place in the current era.
I'm born in the wrong century
Believing that the speaker was born in the wrong century.
There's too much craziness here
Perceiving the world as chaotic and troubled.
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Reflecting on the emotional toll of the past 25 years.
Now this old world is a fright
Expressing fear and concern for the state of the world.
You know my future ain't bright
Feeling pessimistic about the future.
And I'd just crawl in a hole if I could
Expressing a desire to escape or withdraw from the difficulties of life.
Or maybe live out in space
Contemplating the idea of living in isolation, possibly in space.
Or some other far away place
Expressing a reluctance to return to Earth until it improves.
And not come back to this earth till it's good
Oh but I'm dreaming again
Indicating a return to dreaming despite the harsh reality.
I know that I'm here till the end, what a long time
Acknowledging a long time left to endure in the current circumstances.
There's too much craziness here
Reiterating the chaos in the world.
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Revisiting the emotional toll of the past 25 years.
Well you might think that I'm all wrong
Anticipating disagreement or misunderstanding from others.
The things I say in this song
Expressing a wish for understanding from a different perspective.
I really wish I could see it your way
Conveying a sense of impending crisis or trouble.
But there's a storm rollin' in
Noting the approach of a difficult situation or challenge.
And it just might be the end
Expressing hope and prayer for collective escape or resolution.
So I'm praying we'll all get away
Now my cup's running dry
Describing a sense of emptiness or depletion in one's resources.
The weight of the world gets me down
Feeling burdened by the challenges and troubles of the world.
There's way too much craziness here
Reiterating the chaos and craziness in the world.
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes, oh yeah
Reflecting on the cumulative emotional toll of the past 25 years.
There's nowhere to turn
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and a lack of options.
So I just have to learn not to cry no more
Recognizing the need to adapt and refrain from expressing sadness.
It's all I can do till we find something new
Accepting the limited options and resolving to persevere.
But I'll get by, you know I'll try
Remaining determined to overcome challenges and difficulties.
In twenty-five years I have used all the tears in my eyes
Reiterating the emotional toll of the past 25 years.
