Worst Places
Navigating Shadows: Taylor John Williams' 'Worst Places' Revealed
Lyrics
When the phone rang
Receiving a phone call
Many thoughts went through my mind wondering why
Various thoughts crossing the mind, questioning the reason
You never call me especially at this time
Expressing surprise at not being frequently called, especially at this moment
Right then a meteor crashes
Describing a sudden event - a meteor crashing
Life ends in a series of flashes
Depicting the end of life in a rapid sequence of images
You know me how my head goes to the worst places
Acknowledging a tendency to imagine worst-case scenarios
Immediately to the worst places
Quickly jumping to negative thoughts
Immediately to the worst case scenario
Immediately considering the worst possible outcome
For God's sake I don't know why
Expressing confusion about this habitual response
Headed off to somewhere dark and overgrown
Heading towards a gloomy and neglected place
Unaware of what you have to share but I know
Being unaware of the information to be shared but anticipating it's tragic
It's a tragedy
Labeling the situation as a tragedy
A sad sad song
Describing the emotions through a sad song
For you've not had anything to say to me for so long
Noticing a lack of communication for an extended period
So when the phone rang
Recalling a similar moment when the phone rang
Many thoughts went through my mind wondering why
Revisiting the thoughts about the infrequent calls, especially now
You never call me especially at this time
Expressing surprise again at the timing of the call
Right then a meteor crashes
Repeating the sudden event of a meteor crashing
Life ends in a series of flashes
Reiterating the abrupt end of life in vivid flashes
You know me how my head goes to the worst places
Recognizing the tendency to imagine the worst scenarios
Immediately to the worst places
Swiftly resorting to negative thoughts
Immediately to the worst case scenario
Immediately considering the worst-case scenario once more
For God's sake I don't know why
Expressing confusion about the recurring negative thoughts
Immediately to the worst case scenario
Repeating the immediate shift to the worst-case scenario
For God's sake I don't know why
Reiterating the confusion about the habitual negative response
