Lyrics
getting yet another glass of wine
Indulging in another glass of wine.
in the quiet of your presence
Reflecting in the calmness of your presence.
been here calling out a thousand times
Repeated attempts to communicate or connect.
waiting for some final revelation
Anticipating a significant revelation or insight.
I gotta turn the page
Expressing a need to move forward.
gotta burn the books
Emphasizing the necessity to let go of old ideas or beliefs.
gotta break the glass
Breaking through barriers, symbolized by breaking glass.
feeling as you should
Experiencing emotions appropriately.
oh my mind
Repeatedly addressing the challenges within the mind.
oh my mind
-the tides have changed
Positive changes in life, symbolized by calm weather and a flowing river.
the weather’s calm
-the river bends
-I get carried on
-I will learn to overcome
Commitment to overcoming challenges.
the tide has turned
Turning a corner, finding light, and experiencing a new beginning.
got my light back on
-I finally feel
-the early dawn
-I have changed
Personal growth and resilience in the face of adversity.
I’ll overcome
-you know I tried hard to be enough
Struggling to meet expectations, finding disappointment.
I searched for gold
-but I only found dust
-and as I tried hard to be all yours
Attempting to be devoted, but facing difficulties in finding connection.
I couldn’t find you
-I just couldn’t find you
-I gotta turn the page
Reiterating the need for change and emotional release.
gotta burn the books
-gotta break the glass
-feeling as you should
-oh my mind
Continued introspection and acknowledgment of mental challenges.
oh my mind
-oh I
Expressing acceptance of various personas, including those with flaws, in positions of authority.
I don’t mind the preacher
-the prophet and the sinner
-The lover the liar
-on a throne
-and I
Indifference towards societal judgments and a focus on personal redemption.
I don’t mind the choir
-singing there in silence
-about redemption
-about the old
