Drained
Navigating Love's Turbulence: The Brian Jonestown Massacre's 'Drained'
Lyrics
I'm lost in this world 'cause
I feel disoriented and confused in this world
I've lost my way i've got no place to go
I've lost my direction and have nowhere to go
I've got nothing to say
I lack words or reasons to express myself
I walk down the road and I'm on my track
I'm moving forward on my journey
Girl, I look straight ahead
I focus on the path ahead without looking back
But I don't look back
Not dwelling on the past or regrets
For misery, hope, and I sing my life
Singing about the combination of misery and hope in my life
I'm in love with you girl
Expressing love for someone, despite being committed to another
But I love my wife
Navigating the complexities of love and commitment
The treasures evolved and I look up above
Reflecting on the evolution of personal treasures and looking toward the sky
And I sailed up the skies, and I wonder why
Contemplating the mysteries of life and questioning
'Cause you're lost in this world
Feeling lost when one loses their way in life
When you lose your way
Reiterating the theme of being lost and directionless
And you've lost all your hope
Experiencing a loss of hope
You've got nothing to stay
Having no reason or purpose to stay
In love with you girl when you treat me right
Loving someone, even when treated right
I'm in love with you girl
Complicated emotions arise from being in love but experiencing pain
But you made me cry
Expressing the emotional impact of love
I want love but I don't want pain
Desiring love without the accompanying pain
And it's happening again i want love
Repeating the desire for love, despite past pain
But I can't stand still
Unable to remain still in the face of love
And your love is making me ill
Love causing emotional distress and illness
I want love but I can't stand pain
Reiterating the conflicting desire for love and aversion to pain
And it's happening again i want love
Experiencing a repeated cycle of love and pain
But I can't stand still
Struggling to remain still in the face of love
And your love is making me ill
Love causing continued emotional distress and illness
I want love but I can't stand pain
Repeating the desire for love without enduring pain
Watch it go down the drain once again
Observing love deteriorating and disappearing
Here it goes
Acceptance of the inevitable decline of love
