Lead Pills and Thrills
Weight of Burdens: Seeking Wholeness Amidst Struggle
Lyrics
I need some hope
Expressing a desire for optimism or positivity
I'm at the end of my rope
Feeling extremely distressed or desperate
I need some sunshine to keep me in line
Seeking something uplifting to guide or direct
No, I ain't leaving
Not willing to depart until finding fulfillment
Till I found some soul
In search of a deeper spiritual or emotional connection
Got me some pieces, but I want to be whole
Having parts but aiming for completeness
And I've been stacking up stones
Accumulating burdens or challenges
Next to my elder wood throne
Adjacent to a symbolic seat of authority
Just enough to build a home
Gathering just enough to create a sense of belonging
Our hearts sank low with the news of the levy
Emotional impact from distressing news or situation
When did it get so heavy?
Questioning when the situation became overwhelming
I couldn't drown my sorrows and neither could you
Unable to drown emotional pain or grief
When did it get so heavy?
Reiteration of the weight of the situation
I'm always on my soapbox
Consistently voicing opinions or standing up for beliefs
I'm always giving answers you don't want
Providing answers that may not be accepted or wanted
I'm always whistling
Engaging in a habitual action or behavior
Familiar tunes
Recalling familiar melodies or experiences
'Cause I don't know the words
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding
And neither do you
Not knowing certain aspects, shared with others
I'll tell your name to the leaves
Symbolically honoring someone's memory
That whisper in the breeze
Nature communicating messages or emotions
They'll sing my melodies to you when I leave
Leaving a legacy through art or expression
Our hearts sank low with the news of the levy
Reiteration of emotional impact from distressing news or situation
When did it get so heavy?
Questioning when the situation became overwhelming again
I couldn't drown my sorrows and neither could you
Struggling to alleviate emotional pain or grief
When did it get so heavy?
Reemphasizing the weight of the situation once more
And now we're back to square one
Returning to the initial starting point or situation
And now we're loading the gun
Preparing for conflict or confrontation
How did we get so heavy?
Reflecting on how the burden became overwhelming
How did we get so heavy?
Reiteration of the inquiry into the increasing weight of the situation
