Think
Navigating Despair: Puddle of Mudd's Powerful Reflection in 'Think'
Lyrics
Wait wait wait
Expressing impatience, a sense of urgency
You never want to wait
Highlighting a dislike for waiting
Wait wait wait
Reiterating impatience
Slow down
Suggesting the need to slow down
Stop and think
Encouraging to pause and reflect
Think think think
Emphasizing the importance of thoughtful consideration
You never want to think
Stating a reluctance to think
Cause everything
Implying that thinking leads to consequences
Could it be a dream
Raising the possibility of a dream or illusion
Another bad dream
Suggesting recurring negative experiences
So I drink, drink, drink
Indicating a reliance on drinking to cope
I'm putting down the drink
Committing to giving up drinking
Cause I can't feel a thing
Describing emotional numbness
Cause every time you say goodbye
Reflecting on the pain of goodbyes
I've seen that look a thousand times
Observing a familiar emotional expression
There's no more room left inside
Suggesting emotional exhaustion
It's gonna be alright
Offering reassurance that things will be okay
It's gonna be alright
Repeating the assurance for emphasis
Fear fear fear
Introducing the theme of fear
Just don't be afraid
Encouraging to face fear
Afraid afraid afraid
Reiterating the need to overcome fear
Watch the tube and waste
Advising against wasting time on TV
Waste waste away the days
Describing a passive, unproductive lifestyle
Flush it down the drain
Symbolizing the disposal of time
Cause every time you say goodbye
Revisiting the pain of goodbyes
I've seen that look a thousand times
Noting a repetitive emotional pattern
There's no more room left inside
Reiterating emotional exhaustion
And every time you say good night
Adding the element of nighttime sadness
I love to watch you close your eyes
Expressing a fondness for observing closure
There's no more pain left inside
Claiming an absence of pain after goodbyes
It's gonna be alright
Reassuring that everything will be okay
It's gonna be alright
Repeating the reassurance
It's gonna be alright
Emphasizing the assurance
It's gonna be alright
Repeating the emphasis
It's gonna be alright
Stressing the inevitability of things being okay
Hate hate hate
Introducing the theme of hate
You always gotta hate
Pointing out a consistent attitude of hatred
Cause every time you say goodbye
Recalling the emotional pain of goodbyes
I've seen that look a thousand times
Noting a repetitive emotional cycle
There's no more room left inside
Expressing emotional exhaustion once again
And every time you say good night
Revisiting the sadness of saying goodnight
I love to watch you close your eyes
Expressing a fondness for observing closed eyes
There's no more pain left inside
Claiming an absence of pain after saying goodnight
It's gonna be alright
Reiterating the assurance of things being okay
It's gonna be alright
Repeating the reassurance
It's gonna be alright
Emphasizing the assurance
It's gonna be alright
Stressing the inevitability of things being okay
