Lyrics
Days go by, turn into weeks
Reflecting on the passage of time, days turning into weeks.
I'm not a vagrant but I've really nothing to speak of...
Expressing a lack of material possessions or significant achievements.
Life's puposes evading me
Feeling uncertain about the purpose or meaning of life.
Try oh though I might
Attempting to overcome challenges despite difficulties.
Can't keep 'em in my sight
Struggling to maintain focus or control over aspects of life.
And now who's controlling me?
Raising the question of who or what is influencing and controlling the speaker.
If it's not me myself, it must be someone else you see
Suggesting that if the speaker is not in control, someone else must be.
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow
Describing a state of deep emotional distress.
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
Questioning the stability of the speaker's emotional state.
Broken man, He's got you on His mind
Referring to a broken individual with divine consideration.
All life's rewards are broken dreams
Highlighting disappointment and unfulfilled aspirations in life.
Someone forgot I guess
Suggesting neglect or oversight by someone.
Forgot to wake me up you see
Expressing a feeling of being overlooked or ignored.
Are you surprised the world's not free?
Questioning the idea that the world is not as free as expected.
Now words are all you've got
Emphasizing the power and impact of words in communication.
But words aren't good enough for me
Stating that mere words are insufficient for the speaker.
You've gotta move if you'll be free
Encouraging action and movement for true freedom.
You gotta bow your head
Advocating humility and submission.
You gotta give it up
Encouraging surrender and letting go.
Be free
Emphasizing the idea of being free.
Face down in a pool of my own sorrow
Repeating the imagery of emotional distress and questioning its duration.
Will it last or will it leave tomorrow?
Reiterating uncertainty about the longevity of emotional turmoil.
Broken man, He's got you on His mind
Referring again to a broken individual with divine consideration.
