Troubled Wine
Embracing Misery: Troubled Wine's Raw Truth
Lyrics
Take your time, time
Encouragement to take one's time and not rush
Take your time, take it Mama
Reiteration of the advice to take time, addressing "Mama"
Take your sweet time
Suggesting a leisurely pace, emphasizing patience
Take your time, take it baby
Repeating the call to take time, addressing "baby"
Gonna get to you
Expressing determination to reach someone
Don't even try
Discouraging attempts to evade or avoid
Ain't gettin' by Mama
Asserting that one cannot escape, addressing "Mama"
Think ya can, but ya can't
Challenging the belief in successful evasion
Ain't no gettin' by babe
Stating the impossibility of escaping, addressing "babe"
I'm gonna get to you
Reaffirming the commitment to reach the person
The bottom of the barrel is where I've been
Describing a difficult and challenging situation
And I'll always be
Expressing a sense of permanence in a challenging state
It's where I find reality
Indicating that the difficult situation is a source of truth
I ain't seein' clear no
Acknowledging a lack of clarity or understanding
And I don't wanna be
Expressing a desire not to be in the current state
Just let me drown in my misery
Requesting to be left to deal with one's own sorrows
Wine - I'll make you mine
Introducing the metaphor of "wine" as a possession
Serve you a glass of my troubled wine
Offering a glass of metaphorical "troubled wine"
Tell me what you is
Seeking information about the person's identity
Tell me who you is
Asking for a description of the person
What you be
Inquiring about the nature of the person
Lord I'll be your ship
Offering to be a supportive figure in challenging times
Your ship sinkin' in the sea
Describing a metaphorical sinking ship in the sea
Just take my hand
Extending a helping hand when the person is in pain
When you hurt
Being present for the person's moments of hurt
When you cry
Offering support during times of crying
When you bleed
Expressing readiness to help during moments of bleeding
A little ship
Describing a small ship, suggesting minimal support is sufficient
A little bit's all ya need
Emphasizing that a little support is all that is needed
I'm always here for you
Affirming constant availability for the person
The bottom of the barrel is where I've been
Repeating the description of a challenging situation
And I'll always be
Reiterating the enduring nature of the challenging state
It's where I find reality
Stating that truth is found in difficult circumstances
I ain't seein' clear no
Acknowledging a lack of clarity or understanding, repetition from line 14
And I don't wanna be
Expressing a desire not to be in the current state, repetition from line 15
Just let me drown in my misery
Requesting to be left to deal with one's own sorrows, repetition from line 16
Wine - I'll make you mine
Reaffirming the metaphor of possessing "troubled wine"
Serve you up a glass of my troubled wine
Offering another serving of metaphorical "troubled wine"
