Side of Town
Life's Journey: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Resilience
Lyrics
Put another log on the fire for me
Requesting to add more fuel to the fire, possibly symbolizing a desire for warmth or intensity.
I've been waitin' for you so long
Expressing a long wait for someone or something anticipated.
I got drunk on decaf tea
Being facetious or sarcastic about getting intoxicated on decaffeinated tea.
And I sat down to write this song
Using the state of inebriation to inspire songwriting.
Spend yer days just wonderin' why
Reflecting on spending time pondering the reason for being alone despite efforts.
Yer all alone no matter how you try
Feeling isolated regardless of attempts to connect.
Fill up the tank and keep movin' around
Metaphorically referencing refueling and staying mobile, possibly for escapism.
Ain't nothin new this side of town
Stating that nothing seems new or different in this familiar environment.
I had a girl way back when
Recalling a past relationship from nearly seven years ago.
Almost seven years ago
Noting the duration of time since the mentioned relationship.
She left me bought a house out East
Informing about the ex-partner's actions of buying a house elsewhere.
Well I guess that's the way it goes
Resigned acceptance of how situations unfold.
Spend yer days just wonderin' why
Reiterating the contemplation of solitude despite efforts.
Yer all alone no matter how you try
Emphasizing the feeling of being alone, irrespective of attempts to change it.
Fill up the tank and keep movin' around
Continuing with the metaphor of keeping busy but not finding novelty.
Ain't nothin' new this side of town
Reiterating the lack of newness or change in the familiar surroundings.
I live in a bunker I don't know why
Expressing confusion or lack of understanding about current living conditions.
These rations that I have are growin' scarce
Noting the scarcity of supplies or resources in the mentioned bunker.
I work two jobs but I ain't got much
Highlighting the struggle of working multiple jobs with minimal reward.
What I really wanna do
Expressing a desire to return to something enjoyable or fair-like, potentially a nostalgic reference.
Is move back the fair
Desire to go back to a more enjoyable or fair environment.
Spend yer days just wonderin' why
Continuing the reflection on pondering the reasons for being alone.
Yer all alone no matter how you try
Reiterating the feeling of isolation despite attempts to change it.
Fill up the tank and keep movin' around
Continuing the metaphor of moving around but finding no novelty.
Ain't nothin' new this side of town
Reinforcing the lack of newness or change in the familiar surroundings.
Ain' t nothin' new this side of town
Repeating the sentiment that nothing seems new or different in this environment.
Ain't nothin' new this side of town
Finalizes the song by restating the lack of novelty or change on this side of town.
