Dragging My Bags Round Town
Wandering Souls: A Tale of Seeking Home
Lyrics
Lord knows what I need
Expressing a sense of uncertainty about what is necessary or beneficial in life.
Four walls is just the start
Suggesting that being confined within four walls is just the beginning of a broader struggle or challenge.
Something tangible to prove I'm here
Desiring something concrete and real to validate one's existence.
I'm lying on this fucked up fold out bed
Describing a difficult and uncomfortable situation, possibly a makeshift living arrangement.
A hundred short on rent
Facing financial difficulties with a shortfall in rent.
I've crashed in all the quarters of this city
Having experienced various parts of the city but not feeling a sense of belonging or home.
It still don't feel like home
Despite being in different areas of the city, it still doesn't feel like a true home.
I'm dragging my bags round town
Expressing the act of carrying emotional baggage or problems throughout the city.
I'm dragging myself around
Feeling burdened and exhausted but still moving forward.
But I don't want to leave having nothing achieved at all
Expressing a desire for accomplishment and not wanting to leave without achieving anything.
Dragging my bags around town
Continuing to carry emotional burdens around the city.
Tearing my long hair out
Feeling frustrated and stressed, possibly about appearance or life choices.
Because I can't seem to find me a shell to settle down
Struggling to find a stable and secure place to settle down.
Yeah I know
Acknowledging awareness of the need to leave the city.
Should have left this city long ago
Regretting not leaving the city earlier.
I got nothing good to show for all my time here
Feeling that time spent in the city has not yielded positive outcomes.
In the end I'll be packing up my bags again
Anticipating the need to leave again due to an unstable living situation.
For this roof over my head is ever changing
Highlighting the constant change in living arrangements.
Got to catch a job
Emphasizing the necessity to find employment for financial stability.
The searching never stops
Expressing the ongoing search for opportunities and stability.
Because no one wants to pay for melodies
Reflecting the challenge of earning a living through music or artistic pursuits.
And I don't even write songs any more
Indicating a shift away from creative endeavors like songwriting.
Up on the seventh floor
Describing a specific location, possibly an apartment or workspace.
I waste my days just moving place to place
Spending days without a sense of purpose, constantly moving from place to place.
But nowhere feels like home
Feeling displaced and not finding a place that feels like home.
Still dragging my bags around town
Continuing to carry emotional burdens while moving around the city.
Letting the family down
Feeling guilty for not meeting familial expectations.
Because I can't even make it a week without running out
Struggling to sustain oneself for an extended period without running into problems.
Yeah I know
Reiterating the awareness of the need to leave the city.
Should have left this city long ago
Expressing regret for not leaving the city sooner.
I got nothing good to show for all my time here
Feeling that the time spent in the city has not led to positive outcomes.
In the end I'll be packing up my bags again
Anticipating the need to leave again due to an unstable living situation.
For this roof over my head is ever changing
Highlighting the constant change in living arrangements.
Should have left this city long ago
Reiterating the regret of not leaving the city earlier.
I'll be packing up my bags again
Anticipating the need to leave again due to an unstable living situation.
Should have left this city long ago
Reiterating the regret of not leaving the city earlier.
