Watered Down
Life's Thirst: A Journey through Watered Down Days
Lyrics
Wide awake late at night
Feeling fully alert during the late hours of the night.
It's so quiet you can hear the sound
The surroundings are so silent that even subtle sounds, like ice melting, are audible.
Of ice melting in a glass
Describing the sound of ice melting in a glass.
In a drink well-watered down
In a drink that has been diluted with water.
These days, these days
Emphasizing the current time or era being referred to.
I'm just working just to get by
Engaged in work solely to meet basic needs.
My prospects pretty dim
Future prospects are not promising.
My throat awfully dry
Expressing a sense of thirst.
I'm still trying, I'm still waiting for the right time
Persisting and waiting for the opportune moment to make an impact.
To push in from the outside
Desire to bring about change from an external perspective.
Trying to keep my head above ground
Struggling to stay afloat or maintain stability.
( To a space that I've never found)
Reference to an unexplored space or aspect of life.
I'm still trying, I'm still walking that straight line
Continuing efforts and adhering to a defined path.
But these days this life feels watered down
Expressing a sense that life currently feels diluted or lacking in intensity.
It's pitch black out here tonight
Describing the darkness of the night.
That's all right, there's nothing here to see
Acceptance of the lack of interesting or noteworthy things in the current situation.
Just a shell of man
Feeling like a mere shell of oneself.
Who is pretty tired of being me
Expressing weariness and dissatisfaction with one's own identity.
The summer sun comes up real early
Describing the early sunrise during summer.
Last night I had demons to drown
Reflecting on dealing with personal struggles from the previous night.
I wake up here on the front porch
Waking up in a state of life that feels diluted or lacking vibrancy.
In a life well-watered down
Summarizing the overarching theme of a life that feels diluted or less intense.
