Lyrics
I've been calling up my friends in droves
I've been reaching out to many friends
Looking for a shoulder
Seeking support or comfort
I'm tired of it all, but who knows
I feel worn out and weary, uncertain of when things will improve
When it'll be over
Uncertain about the duration of my struggles
I was strumming in this empty room
I was playing music alone in an empty space
Until I wore the chords down
Continuously playing until the chords wore out
I've been doing everything I can
I've been making an effort to solve problems
But it just won't work out
Despite my efforts, things aren't improving
They won't see me coming around
Others won't notice my return
I want to be the dark horse
Expresses a desire to be an unexpected winner or competitor
We've all gotta bear our cross
We all have our burdens or challenges
Don't we know it
Acknowledging shared struggles
I've been twiddling my thumbs too long
I've been idly waiting for too long
What's to show for it
Questioning what progress has been made during this waiting period
I miss the songbird shot down
Feeling a loss or absence of something beautiful or inspiring
In a bolt of lightning
Describing a sudden and tragic event, likened to lightning striking a songbird
Like the sun gone behind the clouds
Comparing a situation to the disappearance of the sun behind clouds
Darkened mourning
Expressing a dark or sorrowful morning
They won't see me coming around
Emphasizing that others won't anticipate my return
I want to be the dark horse
Reiterating the desire to surprise others as an unexpected success
They won't see me coming around
Reinforcing the idea that others won't expect my reappearance
They won't see me coming around
Repeated emphasis on being unnoticed or overlooked
If you want to feel us shakin' the ground
Inviting others to join in making a significant impact
Help me get the vote out
Requesting help in gaining support or recognition
I'm gonna be the dark horse
A declaration of intent to surprise everyone as an unexpected achiever
