Closer to Grey
Descent into Despair: Ten Foot Pole's Reflection on Life's Bitter Realities
Lyrics
Clawing his way out of the doldrums
Struggling to escape a state of boredom or inactivity
Getting sick and tired of coke and rums
Growing weary of excessive indulgence in substances like cocaine and rum
We'll just have to wait and see
Uncertain about the future, a sense of anticipation
Because he's jumped on the wagin before
Expressing caution because of past experiences
Only to crawl and beg for more
Having repeated a pattern and still craving for more
His pride is just another casuality
Pride is being sacrificed or damaged
His pride is just another casuality
Reiteration of the impact on pride
Can you see beyond today's euphoric state?
Encouraging to look beyond the temporary state of happiness
Do you remember how you'll feel tomorrow?
Reflecting on the consequences of actions on future feelings
All the people that you hate
Mentioning dislike for certain individuals
All the times you've had to wait
Recalling moments of impatience
Every piece of food you ever ate
Highlighting the mundane aspects of life
Reminds you of your fate
Every experience is a reminder of destiny
He's clawing his way out of a paper bag
Struggling to break free from a difficult situation
Reaching for the life that he never had
Aspiring for a life that has been elusive
And he's just one step away
Close to achieving a desired state
He's going backwards on a two track
Experiencing setbacks or regression
He's going one step forward and two steps back
Facing challenges and obstacles in progress
Getting closer to gray
Approaching a state of dullness or mediocrity
In the end there's only grieving
Emphasizing the inevitability of sorrow
All his goals inside pulled thin air
Goals seem unattainable or vanished
Can you blame him if he's desperate?
Sympathizing with desperation due to lack of options
There's nothing left for him to get
No meaningful objectives left to pursue
And he dosen't care that the people stare
Indifference to public scrutiny or judgment
And they do fucking stare
Not concerned about the attention and judgment of others
