Toothache
Navigating Life's Aches: Lydia Loveless's Sonic Odyssey
Lyrics
Minor inconvenience or a catastrophe
Describing a small problem or a big disaster
Even if I could get there on my own
Even if I could manage it independently
It wouldn't be free
It wouldn't be without cost
It's already coming so why don't you pry it loose
It's already approaching, why not try to extract it
Everything's a choice, babe
Every situation involves making a choice
So why don't you just choose
So why don't you just make a decision?
'Cause it's always something
There's always some issue or problem
Right when you're gunning for the finish line
At the exact moment you're aiming for the goal
I've been here before and I did something awful
I've been in this situation before and I did something terrible
Now I'm out of lies
Now I've exhausted all possible lies
How many times have you said that it's never too late
How frequently have you said it's never too late?
What about a heartbreak? What about the end of the day?
What about dealing with heartbreak or the end of the day?
Can't spend my life sitting around and filling up an ashtray
I can't waste my life sitting idle and accumulating cigarette ash
'Cause nothing's ever gonna change
Because nothing will ever change
Now I got a toothache
Now I'm experiencing a toothache (physical or metaphorical pain)
Now that I've cobbled together the dominos
Now that I've arranged the pieces in a certain way
I wanna watch 'em explode
I want to witness them all falling apart dramatically
Yeah, I really wanna let go
I really want to release my hold on things
But I find myself hyper focused on the dirty windows
But I'm obsessing over insignificant details like dirty windows
And running out of dish soap
And running out of everyday supplies like dish soap
'Cause it's different all on my own
Because it feels different when I'm by myself
'Cause I'm always shooting for highfalutin
I always aim for something grand or impressive
And then I fuckin' choke
But then I mess up when it matters
And it's not that I'm losing
It's not that I'm failing, I just rely on my usual methods
I just keep using the only way I know
I keep using the only approach I know
How many times have you said that it's never too late
How many times have you said it's never too late?
What about a heartbreak? What about the end of the day?
What about dealing with heartbreak or the end of the day?
Don't wanna toe the line just to spin out on the freeway
I don't want to conform just to end up crashing on the freeway
'Cause now there's nothing left to save
Because now there's nothing remaining to salvage
Now I got a toothache
Now I'm experiencing a toothache (physical or metaphorical pain)
Now I got a headache
Now I'm experiencing a headache
How many times have you said that it's never too late
How many times have you said it's never too late?
What about a heartbreak? What about the end of the space?
What about dealing with heartbreak or the end of one's own space or world?
Don't wanna spend my whole life trying to get out of my own way
I don't want to spend my entire life struggling with my own obstacles
'Cause now there's nothing left to change
Because now there's nothing left to alter or transform
Now I got a toothache
Now I'm experiencing a toothache (physical or metaphorical pain)
And now I got a heartache coming on
Now a heartache is approaching
Now I got a headache coming on
Now a headache is approaching
And now I got a headache coming on
And now a headache is approaching
Coming on
It's approaching or intensifying
