Can't Win for Losing
Navigating Life's Trials: Can't Win for Losing by Mark Lee Wilkins
Lyrics
With all the pain I'm in
Expressing intense emotional distress or suffering.
Can't Win for Losing
Feeling trapped or doomed, unable to succeed.
Oh Lord the shape I'm in
Reflecting on a difficult situation or state of being.
Can't Win for Losing
Reiterating the struggle and inability to overcome challenges.
Don't know if I can work again
Uncertain about the ability to maintain employment due to hardships.
Can't Win for Losing
Continuing to emphasize the difficulty of prevailing in life.
Paying for someone else's sins
Experiencing consequences for the actions of others.
Can't Win for Losing
Stressing the ongoing struggle with setbacks and losses.
Always Scratching at the 8 Ball
Metaphorically expressing challenges and risks in decision-making.
If I hit I'll bust
Anticipating negative outcomes, regardless of the chosen path.
If it weren't for love
Acknowledging the role of love as a crucial factor in life.
I'd be shit outta luck
Highlighting the dependency on love for overcoming difficulties.
Got Binders Full of songs
Referencing a collection of songs with limited appeal or recognition.
No one wants to hear
Expressing frustration over a lack of appreciation for one's work.
The gigs aren't what they used to be
Noting a decline in the quality or popularity of performances.
It's been a few dry years
Describing a period of creative drought or unproductive years.
As sober as I can be
Maintaining sobriety despite the challenges faced.
With all the pills they have me on
Addressing the use of medication to cope with mental health issues.
Therapist encouraged me to write
Recalling advice from a therapist to engage in creative expression.
But it's been so damn long
Expressing the difficulty of resuming creative activities after a long hiatus.
Always Scratching at the 8 Ball
Reiterating the theme of risky decision-making and potential negative outcomes.
If I hit I'll bust
Emphasizing the uncertainty and risk associated with choices.
If it weren't for love
Reiterating the pivotal role of love in overcoming challenges.
I'd be shit outta luck
Underlining the importance of love in avoiding unfortunate circumstances.
Hope is getting hard to find
Expressing a diminishing sense of hope in the face of adversity.
Can't Win for Losing
Highlighting the difficulty of seeing clearly through emotional pain.
Can't see through the tears in my eyes
Reflecting on legal troubles or ethical dilemmas.
Can't Win for Losing
Expressing emotional turmoil and the obscuring effect of tears.
Is it misdemeanors or high crimes
Pondering whether difficulties arise from minor infractions or serious offenses.
Can't Win for Losing
Reiterating the ongoing struggle with challenges and setbacks.
So glad that you're by my side
Expressing gratitude for the support of a companion during tough times.
Can't Win for Losing
Emphasizing the persistent nature of challenges despite support.
Always Scratching at the 8 Ball
Continuing the metaphor of risky decisions and potential negative outcomes.
If I hit I'll bust
Reiterating the uncertainty and risk associated with choices.
If it weren't for your love
Stressing the crucial role of love in overcoming challenges.
I'd be
Conveying a sense of dependence on love to avoid unfortunate circumstances.
Yes, I'd be shit outta luck
Summarizing the reliance on love to navigate through difficult situations.
