Lyrics
When I was young somebody once told me
Recounting advice received in youth about the difference between wants and needs.
You don't get what you want, you get what you need
Highlighting the concept that one doesn't always acquire what they desire but rather what they require.
All I needed was fortune, fame and glory
Expressing personal desires for wealth, fame, and glory.
When I got it, it wasn't what it seemed
Realizing that achieving desired goals doesn't bring the expected satisfaction.
I woke up in a room that had no window
Awakening in a challenging situation, emphasizing a lack of escape or clarity.
Sick as a dog no home and in the rain
Describing a dire situation of illness, homelessness, and exposure to the elements.
Look at the fool too cool to stop and listen
Criticizing someone for being too self-assured to seek help or guidance.
He'd rather try to deal with his own pain
Choosing to cope with personal struggles independently.
One shot away to meet your maker
Introducing a theme of a critical moment determining one's fate.
One shot away no easy way out
Stating that there's no easy way out of a challenging situation.
One shot away and you'll leave everyone behind
Highlighting the potential for leaving everything behind with a single action.
One shot away no easy way out
Reiterating the absence of an effortless resolution to difficulties.
Strungout
Using "Strungout" to convey a sense of emotional distress or exhaustion.
No easy way out
Reaffirming the lack of a simple solution to the challenges faced.
Lights out
Suggesting a situation of darkness or despair.
No easy way out
Reiterating the absence of an easy resolution.
It's not so easy to make it today
Commenting on the difficulty of succeeding in the contemporary world.
I'm here to tell you tomorrow's too late
Warning that postponing action may lead to unfavorable consequences.
One shot away to meet your maker
Repeating the theme of a decisive moment determining one's destiny.
One shot away no easy way out
Emphasizing the absence of an easy resolution to challenges.
One shot away and you'll leave everyone behind
Reiterating the potential for leaving everything behind with a single action.
One shot away no easy way out
Stressing the difficulty of finding a simple way out of problems.
One shot away and you'll leave everyone behind
Highlighting the impact of a decisive action on others.
One shot away the easy way out
Suggesting that an easy way out exists but may have consequences for others.
