Digging
Fading Hours: Reflections on Life's Weight
Lyrics
Give me time
Request for time
Give me peace of mind
Seeking peace of mind
I'm fading like blue in the sky
Feeling a fading sensation akin to the blue sky
And I can't sleep
Insomnia or difficulty sleeping
I lay here counting sheep
Counting sheep in an attempt to sleep
So slowly the hours passing by
Slow passage of time
Replay my thoughts
Reflecting on thoughts
Think back to better times
Nostalgia for better times
How is it that I turn the tide?
Contemplating how to change one's fate
When the nights are quiet and the day is done
Loneliness during quiet nights and finished days
I count the hours til I see the sun
Anticipation for the sunrise
It dawns so heavy, it takes its toll
Heavy dawn, symbolic of burdens
I write my worries like you dig that hole
Expressing worries through writing
Ooooh, ooooh
Expressive vocalizations
Wooooo, wooooo
-Heyyyyy
-Wooo, woooo
-It's freezing cold
Describing a cold environment
This house is good no more
Declaring the house as no longer good
The floors creek like screams of a ghost
Comparing creaky floors to ghostly screams
The whiskey burns
Reference to the burning sensation of whiskey
My hungry stomach churns
Stomach churning due to hunger
The garden is grown past my knees
Garden overgrown, symbolizing neglect
When the nights are quiet and the day is done
Reiteration of loneliness in quiet nights and completed days
I count the hours til I see the sun
Anticipation for the sunrise
It dawns so heavy it takes its toll
Emphasizing the heaviness of dawn and its toll
I write my worries like you dig that hole
Continuing to express worries through writing
Ooooh, ooooh
Expressive vocalizations
Wooooo, wooooo
-Heyyyyy
-Wooo, woooo
-When the nights are quiet and the day is done
Reiteration of loneliness in quiet nights and finished days
Oh I count the hours til I see the sun
Anticipation for the sunrise
It dawns so heavy it takes its toll
Emphasizing the heaviness of dawn and its toll
I write my worries like you dig that hole
Continuing to express worries through writing
Ooooh, ooooh
Expressive vocalizations
Wooooo, wooooo
-Heyyyyy
-I write my worries like you dig that hole
Final expression of writing worries metaphorically as digging a hole
