Yellow Eyed Radio Blues
Yearning for Redemption: Struggles, Longing, and the Call for Help
Lyrics
Trying to get my heart back on the level
Expressing the struggle to find emotional stability.
Dying to get my feet back on the ground
Desiring to regain a sense of stability and normalcy in life.
I wrote a postcard to the Devil
Sending a symbolic message of distress or inquiry to negative forces.
Asking why she don’t come around
Questioning the absence of a significant female figure.
As the years go by my blood gets thicker
Indicating a deepening connection to one's roots or past.
My patience seems to thin as the years grow
Expressing a decrease in patience with the passage of time.
My eyes are turning yellow and I get sicker
Describing physical and emotional deterioration with a yellowing metaphor.
Every time they turn on the radio
Associating the act of listening to the radio with feeling unwell.
Darling, I can’t do this by myself
Acknowledging the need for external support in facing challenges.
To taint the water, baby, I need your help
Requesting assistance from a partner to overcome difficulties.
I’ve burrowed in the sewers of this city
Metaphorically residing in the darker, less visible aspects of society.
I’ve seen your face and I’ve marked your door
Having encountered someone personally and taken note of their existence.
I’m coming for you and Lord knows I ain't pretty
Expressing a determination to confront someone despite physical appearance.
A malignant insect crawling across your floor
Portraying oneself negatively, akin to an intrusive and undesirable presence.
Darling, I can’t do this by myself
Reiterating the dependence on external support for challenges.
To taint the water, baby, I need your help
Reemphasizing the need for a partner's assistance in difficult times.
Darling, I can’t do this by myself
Highlighting the ongoing necessity for external help.
To taint the water, baby, I need your help
Repeating the plea for assistance with a sense of urgency.
Darling, I can't do this on my own
Stating the inability to face challenges alone.
The venom is sinking deeper in my bones
Describing a deepening impact of negativity or toxicity in one's life.
