Lyrics
I said
I express
We've been livin' in some strange times
We are currently experiencing unusual and challenging times
Consolation is a hard find
Finding comfort or solace is difficult
'Round here we all shine on
In this community, we all stand out or persevere
It's hard to tell where to draw that line
It's challenging to determine the appropriate boundaries
Looks normal but it don't feel right
Things appear normal, but they don't feel right
Spilled blood on steel train tracks
There has been violence or conflict on steel train tracks
In comes a stanger with his stone backpack
A stranger arrives with a burdensome past
Wants me to hold it but I ain't goin' back
He wants me to bear it, but I refuse to go back
This old dog's got a stray in the line
There is a complication or problem in the situation
Just need a moment to catch my breath
Just need a moment to recover
Suckerpunch but I ain't down yet
Received a surprise attack, but I'm still standing
Secret Medicine
Referring to a solution or remedy that is kept hidden
Secret Medicine
-Secret Medicine
-I'm hangin' on 'til the rain comes
I will endure until things improve
Now, just a minute I been stone in line
For a moment, I've been stagnant or stuck in line
You keep actin' like I fell behind
Others act as if I've fallen behind
Down here we scramble for scraps of bone
Here, we struggle for meager resources
Been passed around like some dirty joke
Subjected to humiliation like a distasteful joke
Disrespect wears a tailored cloak
Disrespect is disguised in a sophisticated manner
Shake the table
Disrupt the established order
Drop your For Sale sign
Reject materialism
Just need a moment to catch my breath
Take a moment to recover
Suckerpunch but I ain't dead yet
Endured a surprise setback but not defeated
Secret Medicine
Reiterating the existence of a hidden solution or remedy
Secret Medicine
-Secret Medicine
-I'm hangin' on til the rain comes
I will endure until positive change occurs
Secret Medicine
Emphasizing the concealed solution or remedy
Secret Medicine
-Secret Medicine
-Over and over now here she comes
Repeated anticipation of an approaching event or change
It hurts so hard we heal
Pain is intense, but it leads to healing
With each new breath we steal
We heal with each breath, even if taken surreptitiously
Keep holdin' on
Hold on; improvement is imminent
It won't be long
The wait won't be prolonged
With each new breath we feel
Each breath brings both pain and healing
It hurts so hard we heal
Endure hardship to experience healing
Over and over again
Repetition of the cycle
SOLO
Instrumental solo
I need a.moment
Expressing the need for a momentary pause despite challenges
I need a moment
-I need a moment cause I ain't dead yet
-Secret Medicine
Reiteration of the concealed healing or remedy
Secret Medicine
-Medicine
-I'm hangin' on til the rain comes
I will persist until positive change arrives
Secret Medicine
Emphasizing the hidden nature of the solution or remedy
Secret Medicine
-Secret Medicine
-Over and over, now
Anticipating the arrival of the awaited change
Here she comes!
