Old Ideas
Unraveling Shadows: The Black Ridge Band's Journey Through Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
It's seeping from the ground
There's an oozing sensation emerging from the earth.
And dripping from the leaves
Fluids are falling off the foliage.
My heart is pounding
My heart is racing due to disbelief.
From things I️ can't believe
The intensity of experiences is overwhelming.
And you're talkin so loud
Your speech is so loud that it's disorienting.
That my head is spinning around
I'm feeling dizzy and disoriented by your words.
The night is falling
The darkness of the night is descending.
And it's taking me down
This descent is pulling me down emotionally.
Are you telling me lies
Questioning if there's dishonesty in communication.
Or will you take me in
Wondering if there's an invitation for support.
I️ can see it in your eyes
Perceiving the truth in your eyes.
You don't know where I️ been
You lack knowledge of my experiences.
And I️ ain't going back
Refusing to return to a painful past.
To that dusty old bottom
Rejecting a return to a familiar but unpleasant place.
These ideas I️ got
My current beliefs and thoughts are troublesome.
ain't nothing but a problem
The concepts I hold are causing difficulties.
Just because I wander
Simply wandering doesn't signify being lost.
It don't mean that in lost?
Counting the days and encounters along my journey.
I'm counting down the day
Tracking time and paths crossed.
And the paths that I cross
Feeling sleep-deprived and in need of assistance.
And I ain't sleeping
Desiring help but realizing self-rescue is necessary.
Yeah I'm needing some help
There's no one capable of rescuing me from my own issues.
But you ain't ever
No content provided in this line.
Gonna save me from myself
Questioning if there's dishonesty in communication (repeated).
Are you tellin me lies
Reiterating the truth seen in your eyes.
Or will you take me in
Reinforcing the lack of understanding regarding my experiences.
I️ can see it in your eyes
Emphasizing the refusal to return to a painful past.
You don't know where I️ been
Restating the troublesome nature of current beliefs.
And I️ ain't going back
Reasserting the difficulties caused by held concepts.
To that dusty old bottom
No content provided in this line.
These ideas that I️ got
-They ain't nothing but a problem
Reiterating the troublesome nature of current beliefs (repeated).
