Walkin' Wounded
Heartache's Journey: Rory Gallagher's Walkin' Wounded Tale
Lyrics
I'm walkin' wounded, got my heart in a sling
Feeling emotionally damaged, heartbroken, vulnerable.
I've been injected till I don't feel a thing
Having numbed emotions, possibly from coping mechanisms like substance abuse.
You got me hurtin' where it gets me the most
Experiencing pain in the most sensitive areas, likely emotionally.
If I had some sense I'd move back to the Southern Coast, yeah
Considering a move away for a fresh start or escape.
I'm truly wounded like a fox in a snare
Feeling trapped or ensnared, wounded like a fox in a snare.
I feel inspected 'cause I'm caught in your glare
Sensing scrutiny or judgment from someone, possibly a romantic interest.
You've done your damage, are you sure that you're through?
Assessing the impact of someone's actions and questioning if they are truly done causing harm.
Don't cross me no more, had enough of you
Setting a boundary and expressing a refusal to tolerate further mistreatment.
I'm sleep walkin' like an unlit fuse
Feeling disconnected or numb, possibly from emotional exhaustion.
I'm breakin' out, baby, got no time to lose
Breaking free from a situation with a sense of urgency.
I feel suspended, got no lust for life
Feeling suspended or stuck, lacking enthusiasm for life.
You drew my picture, sharp as a knife
Feeling exposed or vulnerable due to someone's accurate portrayal.
Time is a wastin' but the message got through
Recognizing the urgency of time, possibly related to missed opportunities.
Don't cross me no more, I've had enough of you
Reiterating the refusal to tolerate further mistreatment.
I'm walkin' wounded, got my heart in a sling
Repeating the feeling of emotional damage and vulnerability.
I've been injected till I don't feel a thing
Reiterating the numbing of emotions, possibly through substance use.
You got me hurtin' where it gets me most
Repeating the experience of pain in the most sensitive areas.
I've got some sense now, I'm going back to the Southern Coast, yeah, yeah
Expressing a decision to move away for a fresh start or escape.
I'm comin' there baby
Indicating an impending arrival or confrontation.
