Waste of Time
Escape the Nostril Burn: Rosewood Apothecary's Journey of Liberation
Lyrics
Sitting here it seems I am a daddy long legs
Sitting in a helpless state, feeling like a daddy long legs.
Clinging helpless to the wall
Feeling stuck and clinging to a metaphorical wall.
Waiting for the chance to make my break for shelter
Waiting for an opportunity to escape and seek shelter.
In the cracks beneath the floor
Desiring refuge in the hidden spaces beneath the floor.
If I could find my way back out there is no doubt to me
If given the chance to escape, there is no doubt the speaker wouldn't return.
I never would return
Expressing a reluctance to return to a previous state or situation.
Waited for one final shove to rid me of
Waiting for a final push to relieve the speaker from a persistent discomfort, possibly metaphorical.
This everlasting nostril burn
Referring to a continuous unpleasant sensation, possibly symbolic.
Some time since I did it anyway
Indicating a passage of time since a particular action was last taken.
And it feels just fine
Feeling content or satisfactory about a past action.
Been there never going back again
Having experienced something and decided not to revisit it.
'Cause its a waste of time
Labeling a certain activity as a waste of time.
Seems to me that I could leave this place if I could only
Expressing a desire to leave the current situation if possible.
Get on up and go
Attempting to break free but encountering initial difficulty.
And so I went but at the start did find the going
Reflecting on slow progress when starting a journey.
On the road was rather slow
Describing a sluggish beginning on the road.
Now I'm here with all the ones I care about
Being with loved ones and deciding not to leave them.
And I'm not leaving anymore
Committing to staying and finding security with those cared about.
Ah, to be a daddy long legs, safe, secure
Expressing the appeal of being safe and secure, like a daddy long legs in a hidden space.
Within a crack beneath the floor
Reiterating the security found within a concealed space.
Some time since I did it anyway
Noting the passage of time since a specific action was last taken.
And it feels just fine
Feeling content or satisfactory about a past action (repeated theme).
Been there never going back again
Having experienced something and decided not to revisit it (repeated theme).
'Cause its a waste of time
Labeling a certain activity as a waste of time (repeated theme).
I've been down there (way down)
Reflecting on being in a difficult situation (way down).
Never going back again
Committing to not going back to a challenging state.
'Cause it's a waste of time
Reiterating that a particular activity is considered a waste of time.
Well I've been there (down and out)
Reflecting on experiencing a challenging situation (down and out).
Never going back again
Committing to not returning to a difficult state.
'Cause it's a waste of time
Reiterating that a particular activity is considered a waste of time (repeated theme).
