Go Around
Navigating Desperation: Teddy Picker's 'Go Around' Unraveled
Lyrics
Johnny hasn't been quite right for awhile
Johnny has been experiencing difficulties or challenges recently.
Did something strange and got made fun of by child
Johnny did something unusual and became the target of mockery, possibly by a child.
He took his gun down onto the range
Johnny takes a gun to a shooting range, indicating a desire for change or escape.
And thought of a way that he could come into some change
He contemplates a way to improve his situation and gain financial benefits.
Don't come in
A warning to stay away, emphasizing a sense of danger.
I've got a gun
Reiterating the presence of a gun and the intention not to harm anyone.
And I don't wanna hurt no one
Expressing the reluctance to cause harm to others.
Hey man why don't you go around
Suggesting that someone should avoid Johnny and go around to prevent confrontation.
I don't wanna have to shoot you down
Stating the desire not to resort to violence but warning against crossing a boundary.
Hey man why don't you go around
Repeating the idea that someone should avoid Johnny to prevent negative consequences.
I don't wanna bring you down
Emphasizing the intention not to bring emotional distress to someone.
He's gotta get back gotta get back his mind
Johnny needs to regain control of his thoughts or emotions.
Because he talks oh girl he talks and says he finds
Highlighting Johnny's tendency to speak about his struggles, especially with a girl.
There was nothing he could see, think, do, or say
Despite Johnny's efforts, there seems to be no solution or action that can change his situation.
That would change the fact that he was never in control anyway
Acknowledging that Johnny was never truly in control of his life.
Don't come in
Repeating the warning not to enter, emphasizing the presence of a gun.
I've got a gun
Reiterating the intention not to harm anyone but emphasizing the potential danger.
And I don't wanna hurt no one
Stating the reluctance to cause harm, echoing earlier sentiments.
Hey man why don't you go around
Suggesting again that someone should avoid Johnny to prevent conflict.
I don't wanna have to shoot you down
Expressing the desire to avoid resorting to violence but maintaining the warning.
Hey man why don't you go around
Repeating the idea that someone should go around to prevent negative outcomes.
I don't wanna bring you down
Restating the intention not to bring emotional distress to someone.
Hey man why don't you go around
Reiterating the suggestion that someone should avoid Johnny to prevent confrontation.
I don't wanna have to shoot you down
Repeating the desire not to resort to violence but warning against crossing a boundary.
Hey man why don't you go around
Emphasizing again that someone should go around to avoid negative consequences.
I don't wanna bring you down
Reiterating the intention not to bring emotional distress to someone.
