Down on the World Again
Despair Unleashed: Social Distortion's Dark Journey
Lyrics
This ain't the way it's supposed to be
This current situation is not the way life is meant to unfold.
There's a dark cloud following me,
A sense of negativity or trouble is persistently present in my life.
I'm disillusioned I'm down on the world again
I feel disenchanted and depressed, experiencing a low point in life.
There's movies going on in my head
My mind is filled with vivid and troubling thoughts or memories.
And all I can see is the color red.
All I perceive is anger or danger, represented by the color red.
I'm relentless I'm down on the world again
I am persistent in my negative emotions and thoughts, further sinking into despair.
Give me tomorrow's broken dreams now
Yearning for shattered dreams of the future, reflecting a sense of hopelessness.
I'm feeling like a loaded gun
Feeling highly charged, possibly with negative emotions, like a potential danger.
There's a world of guilt written on my face
A visible expression of guilt is on my face, feeling shame for the actions of humanity.
I'm feeling ashamed for the human race,
Experiencing a sense of abandonment and isolation from society.
I've been forsaken I'm down on the world again
Feeling forsaken or abandoned, contributing to the ongoing despair.
I feel so alone in this crowd
Despite being in a crowd, I feel deeply alone and disconnected.
Thoughts of despair are getting loud
Negative thoughts of hopelessness are becoming increasingly prominent.
I'm disrespected I'm down on the world again
Experiencing a lack of respect, leading to further descent into negativity.
Love and tolerance have abandoned me
Feelings of love and tolerance are absent, intensifying the overall darkness.
And I feel the gloom hovering over me,
A sense of gloom is overshadowing me, adding to the overall bleakness.
I'm resentful I'm down on the world again
Harboring resentment towards the world, contributing to the downward spiral.
Give me tomorrow's broken dreams now
Seeking shattered dreams of the future, emphasizing a sense of hopelessness.
I'm feeling like a loaded gun
Feeling emotionally charged and potentially dangerous, like a loaded gun.
Give me tomorrow's holy schemes now so hopeless
Yearning for unattainable idealistic dreams, emphasizing a feeling of despair.
When there's no place else to run.
Feeling trapped with no escape, emphasizing a sense of hopelessness and despair.
