No Bones
Unveiling the Soul's Struggle: No Bones by Scott Cook
Lyrics
There may come a time
Anticipation of a future moment
When he laughs at himself
Acknowledging self-deprecating humor
About this thing he's become
Reflection on personal transformation
Oh well
Resignation or acceptance of the situation
We remember how this guy
Nostalgia for a previous version of oneself
Used to scratch at himself
Recalling a habit as a memory trigger
As a way to recall
Using actions to remember and express internal struggles
And a way to reveal his hell
Revealing personal suffering through behavior
So, I'll admit
Admitting vulnerability or shortcomings
There's no bones in here
Metaphorical expression of emotional fragility
I'm just a sad sack of skin
Self-awareness of emotional state
And this state that I'm in
Describing a challenging emotional condition
Won't lift me anywhere
Expressing a lack of progress or improvement
So I'm not worth your time
Perceived unworthiness of others' attention
These problems are all mine
Ownership of personal issues and challenges
There were many nights
Recollection of isolated drinking experiences
When he drank by himself
Emotional vulnerability leading to tears
And then cried himself to sleep
Nostalgia for a past coping mechanism
Oh well
Acceptance or resignation to the situation
We remember how this guy
Recalling a physical action as a coping mechanism
Used to kick at himself
Self-imposed restrictions for emotional containment
To keep his spirits down
Maintaining a psychological barrier
And to keep himself locked in that cell
Admission of emotional vulnerability
So, I'll admit
Reiterating the lack of inner strength
There's no bones in here
Emphasizing emotional fragility
I'm just a sad sack of skin
Reiteration of emotional vulnerability
And this state that I'm in
Stagnation in personal development
Won't lift me anywhere
Expressing a sense of worthlessness
So I'm not worth your time
Acknowledging personal problems
These problems are all mine
Owning responsibility for individual issues
It still seems this guy
Perceived need for self-punishment
Needs to punish himself
Uncertain motivations for self-punishment
For what, we're not sure
Inviting inquiry into personal struggles
But he likes when we ask him to tell
Enjoyment or satisfaction in discussing pain
So, I'll admit
Reiterating emotional vulnerability
There's no bones in here
Emphasizing lack of inner strength
I'm just a waste of a man
Self-perceived worthlessness
So I do what I can
Doing what is possible to communicate personal struggles
To make you all aware
Expressing a lack of value in others' time
That I'm not worth your time
Ownership and communication of personal issues
These problems are all mine
Acknowledgment of personal challenges
Oh well
Resignation or acceptance of the situation
