Cardboard Box of Batteries
Unearthed Tales: Finding Harmony in Life's Oddities
Lyrics
Make a dent in the shovel
Symbolic action to start a task or make progress.
Run the mud through the sieve
Processing challenges or difficulties.
Paste your hopes on a wind mill blade
Investing hope in something uncertain or whimsical.
And plant it up on the hill.
Symbolizes growth or aspiration placed in a prominent position.
A pencil sharpened with a putty knife
Unconventional tools for ordinary tasks, reflecting resourcefulness.
A pretty girl as a pretty nun
An ironic or paradoxical comparison, questioning conventional beauty.
Maybe you wake and think this is great
Desire for escapism, dissatisfaction with the current situation.
I just want somewhere to run.
Yearning for a refuge or escape from life's challenges.
The walls blend into ceilings, the faces disappear.
Sense of disorientation, blending of boundaries.
Never enough time to think it out only time to forget I'm here.
Struggle to find time for self-reflection amid life's demands.
The bill is on the table but I've got no coins for pay
Financial hardship, inability to meet obligations.
A beer half circle around her name. what the hell did she say?
Confusion or difficulty understanding a message.
The wise are playing tether ball and the balls eyes look like mine
Contrast between wisdom and personal confusion.
Rolling around on the end of the cord I can't make up for down
Struggling to find direction or stability.
A stream lined engine with a cog chipped out of the wheel
Symbol of a flawed system or situation.
I remember a dirty joke or two but I can't remember the feel.
Loss of connection with past experiences.
Too much time alone I spent, a miser with a nickel worn
Isolation and a sense of emotional deprivation.
Starving like a mother but I can't let go.
Refusal to let go of suffering or difficult experiences.
I'll spit the hours 'cross the room and kick 'em out of the door
Acting out against the passing of time.
Hell, you can have them
Discarding something unwanted or burdensome.
Just another thing I've got no use for.
Expressing lack of value or need for certain experiences.
And it's funny that this comes out dark. it's not that bad
Optimistic perspective despite a seemingly dark situation.
There's still a sparkle of silver in my cavity that plays music in the winter
Finding beauty or positivity in unexpected places.
I've got a cardboard box of batteries hidden in a tire swing
Symbol of stored energy or potential, hidden away.
A miners hat with a light on top and a handful of wedding rings.
Possessions that represent commitment and relationships.
