History
Navigating Life's Labyrinth: Hey Brother's Stone-Carved Journey
Lyrics
Where'd you get those two black eyes?
Questioning the origin of physical injuries, possibly metaphorical for facing challenges.
Did it all not go to plan?
Asking if the planned events did not unfold as expected or intended.
Did they take you by surprise?
Inquiring if unexpected events caught the person off guard.
Does it make you feel like a man?
Questioning if facing adversity makes one feel more masculine.
But who respects a man who cries
Raising doubt about the respect for a man who shows vulnerability by crying.
When his ego's kicked and beaten?
Reflecting on the societal view of men when their pride is wounded.
Or even when a good friend dies?
Questioning reactions to the death of a close friend.
Or even for no reason?
Highlighting the unpredictability of emotional responses.
But if you're wanting to go down, go down in history
Encouraging the desire to leave a lasting mark on history.
Or sail away and fight a war or
Suggesting alternative paths like engaging in war or solving mysteries.
Solve all life's mysteries
Emphasizing the choice to stay within one's comfort zone.
But I think you'd rather stay in these four walls
Describing a preference for a mundane and unambitious lifestyle.
And drink all day and scratch your balls well...
Painting a vivid image of a leisurely but unproductive existence.
But if you want to create poetry
Encouraging the pursuit of artistic expression, specifically poetry.
Then pick up your pencil
Advising to pick up a pencil and start creating.
And put it down on the paper
Emphasizing the importance of putting thoughts on paper.
And paint me a picture
Encouraging the creation of a visual representation of emotions and experiences.
Of romance and literature
Linking romance and literature in the artistic process.
But don't regurgitate your lies
Warning against recycling dishonest narratives, anticipating consequences.
They'll only come back round to bite you
Highlighting the cyclic nature of falsehoods and their potential repercussions.
Even for the one who tries
Expressing skepticism even for those attempting positive change in response to lies.
To turn their life round just to spite you
Continuing doubt about the sincerity of efforts to improve one's life.
But if you're wanting to go down, go down in history
Reiterating the aspiration to leave a lasting impact on history.
Or sail away and fight a war or
Offering alternatives such as engaging in war or solving mysteries.
Solve all life's mysteries
Re-emphasizing the choice to remain within one's comfort zone.
But I think you'd rather stare at these four walls
Describing a preference for a stagnant and unambitious lifestyle.
Eat shite all day and scratch your balls well...
Painting a vivid image of a lethargic and unproductive existence.
But if you're wanting to go down, go down in history
Reiterating the desire to leave a lasting mark on history.
Or sail away and fight a war or
Reintroducing alternatives like engaging in war or solving mysteries.
Solve all life's mysteries
Restating the option to stay within one's comfort zone.
But I think you'd rather stay in these four walls and
Emphasizing a strong inclination to remain in a familiar and unambitious space.
Sleep all day and scratch your balls well
Describing a preference for a sedentary and unproductive lifestyle.
Yes I think you'd rather stare at these four walls
Reiterating the choice to stay within the confines of four walls.
Smoke weed all day and scratch your balls well
Portraying a laid-back and unproductive routine involving substance use.
