The Ramblin' Boys of Pleasure
Apocalyptic Echoes: Humanity's Demise in 'The Ram' by Deteriorated
Lyrics
A million times a day
A recurring daily struggle or challenge.
I try to fail or fail to try
An attempt to fail or a failure to try.
It's an easy way to live
Choosing an easy but unfulfilling way of life.
It's a lifeless way to die
Living a life without passion or purpose.
I used to hear
Recalling advice or wisdom received in the past.
"son, you've got a lot to learn"
Previous guidance suggesting there's much to learn.
I used to hear a lot
Receiving a lot of advice or information.
Like the slow dull burn
Experiencing a slow and dull emotional struggle.
Of paper and tobacco
Reference to the sensory details of a specific moment.
His bad breath smoke
Describing someone's unpleasant breath from smoking.
Singin' "hey man, let me tell you a joke"
A humorous attempt to lighten the mood with a joke.
Well what's attached to a leash
Questioning what is controlled or restrained.
That it made itself
Suggesting something created its own limitations.
The punchline is the way
The essence of the joke lies in self-deception.
That you've been fuckin' yourself
Commenting on the self-destructive nature of actions.
sit down, shut up
Directive to be quiet and listen during a journey.
It's a long ride here
Implying the journey is lengthy and challenging.
I'm gonna tell ya something
Promising a memorable revelation or lesson.
That's not easy to forget
Describing something unforgettable yet regrettable.
It's a bird, it's a plane
Using clichés to express disappointment or disapproval.
It's a god damn shame
Expressing frustration or sadness about a situation.
One day into retirement
A retired individual facing difficulties immediately.
He worked past way
Continuing to work beyond the expected retirement.
I'm ready or not
Being prepared for a challenge or change.
You're here, I come
Expressing determination or a sense of arrival.
There's tears on my cheeks
Crying or showing emotional vulnerability.
(there's tears on my cheeks)
Reiterating the presence of tears on the cheeks.
They'll be here, so damp
Anticipating more tears, emphasizing emotional distress.
there's proof
Confirmation or evidence of a situation.
Painted on the roof
Symbolic representation on a surface.
And it's rainin'
Describing a challenging or difficult period.
And I hate it
Expressing strong dislike or resentment.
I hate it
Repetition of intense dislike or frustration.
I hate it
Continued expression of strong negative emotions.
I hate it
Reiterating a profound aversion or discontent.
