Tired Eyes
Twelve Years Unraveled: A Journey Through Lost Dreams
Lyrics
It's been twelve long years ahh damn I fucked that shit up
Reflecting on twelve years of experiences, acknowledging a mistake
Miss them thirty packs bouncin' out the back of the pickup
Nostalgic about the past, recalling moments with thirty packs in a pickup truck
Twist it tight, pass it right, country rides bro we lit up
Describing a carefree time, twisting something (possibly a joint), enjoying country rides
Seventeen with a dream that we swore we'd never give up
Recalling a youthful dream at the age of seventeen
And yeah life flew by like we'd knew we'd never live up
Time passing quickly, feeling like life's expectations were not met
And young hearts get older with every bottle that we sipped up
Acknowledging the aging process, influenced by alcohol consumption
And the bottles turn to powder gettin' sober and slip up
Transitioning from bottles to harder substances, facing the consequences
Now I'm in the cold shower screamin' please baby get up
Expressing desperation in a cold shower, possibly related to addiction
Please baby get up yo c'mon baby get up
Pleading for someone to get up, hinting at a troubled situation
I'll call Nine-One-One 'cause I pray you don't get zipped up
Fearing a dire situation, contemplating calling emergency services
Then I swear that we'll get fixed up like I swear we'll never pick up
Expressing determination to overcome difficulties
Now I feel the cold sweats...hands up it's a stickup
Feeling the impact of a challenging situation, possibly a crime
It's been twelve years take me back in time
Yearning for the past, wanting to go back in time
To Ohio skies that we left behind
Reminiscing about Ohio and the memories left behind
When our hearts held open our tired eyes
Referring to a time when hearts were open despite tired eyes, hinting at emotional struggles
Tired eyes
Repetition of "Tired eyes," emphasizing fatigue or emotional weariness
Tired eyes
Repetition of "Tired eyes"
Throw them hats in the air, toss 'em up at graduation
Celebrating graduation with tossed hats, reflecting on created memories
Before they hit the ground see all the memories we created
Commitment to changing the world with young imagination
Swore to God we'd change the world all these young imaginations
Expressing disappointment in not achieving dreams, questioning motivation
Singin' one day we'd be stars and make the perfect constellations
Describing aspirations of stardom and creating perfect constellations
Where the hell'd it all go wrong, how'd I lose the motivation?
Expressing confusion about where things went wrong
Didn't start from the bottom I locked myself in that basement
Reflecting on the struggle, possibly spending time in isolation
Yeah I'm quittin' ball so fuck 'em all I'm done with runnin' bases
Deciding to quit pursuing a sport, rejecting societal expectations
Let me tell my Dad in person...nah I can't face him
Facing difficulty in communicating with a parent
So I'll just get faded always stay medicated
Choosing to numb emotions with substances
It's their fault I never made it can't explain it's complicated
Blaming others for personal failures, expressing complexity
Break it down, roll it up, buy a bag and pray they laced it
Breaking down and consuming substances, possibly with risks
Maybe then I'll go to sleep, I only dream when I'm sedated
Hoping for sleep through sedation, indicating a troubled mind
It's been twelve years take me back in time
Repeating the desire to go back twelve years in time
To Ohio skies that we left behind
Recalling the skies of Ohio and the past left behind
When our hearts held open our tired eyes
Reiteration of hearts being open despite tired eyes
Tired eyes
Repetition of "Tired eyes"
Tired eyes
-It's been twelve years take me back in time
Yearning again to go back twelve years in time
To Ohio skies that we left behind
Repeating the desire to return to Ohio skies and past memories
When our hearts held open our tired eyes
Reiteration of hearts being open despite tired eyes
Tired eyes
Repetition of "Tired eyes"
Wake up
Ending with a plea to wake up, possibly indicating a desire for change
