Oh Lordy
Yearning for Escape: Oh Lordy Unveils the Struggle Within
Lyrics
Wake up to a mornin' I don't wanna be a part of
Expressing reluctance to start the day due to dissatisfaction with the current situation.
Sleeping in won't change the day ahead
Recognizing that oversleeping won’t change the forthcoming events.
I can't help but think about the life I had before this
Reflecting on a previous life, indicating a sense of longing or nostalgia for what once was.
Full of things I took for granted
Realization of not appreciating things that were previously taken for granted.
Every day I'm pissed off at the beast outside my window
Feeling frustration or anger towards external circumstances symbolized by a beast.
Takin' anyone to make sure that it's fed
Suggesting a willingness to sacrifice others to satisfy the 'beast' outside, possibly metaphorical for survival or coping.
And I don't wanna turn into the beast it's makin' of me
Fear of becoming what's despised, a transformation induced by external pressures.
Oh God bring me some relief
Pleading for divine intervention or assistance in this distressing situation.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Desire to escape or break free from the current circumstances.
But I stay in, stay in
Despite the desire to leave, choosing to remain or being unable to depart.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Repetition of the desire to escape, juxtaposed against feelings of isolation.
I'm lonely, surrounded
Feeling lonely despite being surrounded by others.
I used to think that everyone I met had good intentions
Past belief in the inherent goodness of people and their intentions.
I used to think we're in it together
Belief in unity or solidarity with others in the past.
One by one they show themselves as nothing more than selfish
Realization that people are revealed to be self-centered or untrustworthy.
Friends for only fair weather
Recognition that friendships are only sustained in favorable conditions.
I can't really blame them; we're too busy to give a damn these days
Observation of societal apathy or lack of concern due to busy lifestyles.
Bout family, friends and neighbors
Concern about the neglect of relationships with family, friends, and neighbors.
But while we're busy bettering, we miss the silent suffering
Acknowledgment of unnoticed suffering until it reaches a critical point.
'Til its too late to change course
Realization of the consequence of neglecting important aspects of life until it's too late to change.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Reiteration of the desire to escape from the current situation.
But I stay in, stay in
Staying confined or unable to break free despite the wish to leave.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Repetition of the desire to escape, contrasted with feelings of isolation despite being surrounded by others.
I'm lonely, surrounded
Continued feeling of loneliness despite being in the midst of others.
Oooh, oh ooooh
Repetitive vocalizations, possibly conveying emotional distress or plea for help.
Oooh, oh ooooh
-Oooh, oh ooooh
-Oooh, oh ooooh
-I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Desire to escape or break free from the current circumstances.
But I stay in, stay in
Choosing to remain or being unable to depart despite the desire to escape.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Repetition of the desire to escape, juxtaposed against a plea for divine help.
OH LORDY, won't you help me
An urgent plea for divine assistance in breaking free from the confining situation.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Desire to escape or break free from the current circumstances.
But I stay in, stay in
Choosing to remain or being unable to depart despite the desire to escape.
I wanna get out, get out, get out, get out
Repetition of the desire to escape, juxtaposed against ongoing feelings of loneliness.
I'm lonely
Continued feeling of isolation or loneliness despite the surrounding presence of others.
