Disappointed
Navigating Despair: Matthew Ryan's Poetic Journey through Life's Depths
Lyrics
Disappointed
Feeling let down or not meeting expectations.
Never more
Never experienced such disappointment to this extent before.
Got so low they had to use
Reached a point of extreme despair.
The jaws of life
Required significant intervention to rescue from a dire situation.
To yank me up from under the floor
Rescued from a very low point in life, emphasizing the severity.
Thrilled to be here
Expressing happiness or satisfaction to be alive despite difficulties.
Thank you much
Grateful for the current existence or situation.
It's strange when nothing gets to taste so satisfying
Strange when something unpleasant becomes strangely satisfying.
That you don't mind the rot gut
Finding contentment even in less than ideal circumstances.
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
Traveling with a loved one from Boston to Philly, maybe St. Louis.
From Bostone to Philly and I don't know maybe St. Louis
Continuation of the road trip, uncertain of the destination.
Got a patch
Possessing a patch, possibly a symbol of overcoming challenges.
From my therapist
Referencing therapy as a means of coping or healing.
Sha's got a heart like a yacht
Describing a person with a generous heart but troubled, like a yacht in disarray.
But she's all screwed up, she's a pugilist
Acknowledging imperfections in someone close, possibly a friend.
Sorrry Bobby, miss ya Jack
Mentioning individuals (Bobby, Jack) and expressing a desire for a different historical figure.
But if I could choose I'd ask to have
Expressing a preference for Dr. Martin Luther King over other figures.
Dr. Martin Luther King back
Continuation of the road trip with a loved one, uncertain of the destination.
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
Traveling from D.C. to Dallas, uncertain if reaching Memphis.
From D.C. to Dallas and I don't know maybe Memphis
Acceptance of a future where everything falls apart.
So when this ship eventually sinks
Having a friend in a troubled environment, contemplating past events.
That'll be alright
Referencing unexplained events or mysteries.
Got a friend
Acknowledging a friend in a difficult situation.
In a cracked house
Describing someone wondering about a traumatic incident.
That sits around all day wonderin' who and when
Reference to a violent event, leaving questions unanswered.
Shot the lights out
Emphasizing the complexity and lack of explanation in certain situations.
But some things won't be explained
Mentioning a sleepy cab driver in Hoboken waking up to Shirley MacLaine, possibly highlighting unexpected occurrences.
Like the cabby that fell asleep in Hoboken
Continuation of the road trip, uncertain of the destination.
And woke up Shirley MacLaine
Acceptance of a future where nothing matters.
So me and my sugar we're on a roadtrip
Continuation of the road trip, uncertain of the destination.
From Hollywood to the East village and I don't know maybe midland Texas
Referencing a journey from Hollywood to the East Village, uncertain of reaching Midland, Texas.
So when this ship eventually sinks
Reiteration of acceptance for a future where everything falls apart.
When this ship finally sinks
Affirming the inevitability of a bleak outcome.
When all this shit don't mean a thing
Acknowledging a point where nothing holds significance.
That'll be alright
Reiteration of acceptance for a future where everything falls apart.
