Good Luck Trying
Chasing Redemption: Tales of Broken Roads and Bent Back Fingers
Lyrics
I got a one way ticket to a one horse town
I possess a one-way ticket to a small, insignificant town.
Where the roads ain't steady and the lights are burned out
The town has unstable roads and dimmed-out lights.
I'm gonna ditch my troubles gonna find the sound of a lonely river, and lay low for awhile
I intend to escape my problems, seeking solace by a quiet river and staying low for a while.
c silhouette, dancing in the corner on a long night
There's a silhouette dancing in the corner during a long night.
I bet it's pretty in the right light, but I can never really make it out
The silhouette might be appealing in the right light, but it's hard to discern its true beauty.
See I don't really care anymore
The speaker no longer cares about something.
I don't think it's fair anymore
Feelings of unfairness have taken over, and the speaker expresses indifference.
I have my doubts
The speaker has doubts about certain things.
Knocked down, somewhere in the shadows of the pouring rain
The speaker is knocked down in the shadows during a rainstorm.
Well I can't remember the sound, I can't remember my name
Memories are blurry; the speaker can't recall the sound or their own name.
See I don't really care anymore
The speaker has reached a point of not caring anymore.
What the hell do I know anymore?
The speaker questions their knowledge and understanding of things.
With a ‘barely hanging on', you turned around and said
A reference to someone saying something with a 'barely hanging on' situation.
This is the same old story I already know
The speaker recognizes a familiar, repetitive story.
It's hard to tell now anymore but so it goes
It's challenging to distinguish things now, but that's the way life unfolds.
Laying down in the backseat crying saying good luck trying
Lying in the backseat, expressing difficulty with empathy, saying 'good luck trying.'
High fiving with bent back fingers
Describing a physical action of high-fiving with bent back fingers.
Still missing the point after all these years of lying, saying good luck trying
Despite years of deceit, still missing the point, expressing cynicism with 'good luck trying.'
I don't wanna spend my thirties on a bathroom floor
The speaker doesn't want to spend their thirties in a state of despair on a bathroom floor.
I don't wanna spend a dime on this shit anymore
The speaker is weary of spending money on troublesome situations.
I don't wanna break down alone
Expressing a desire not to break down alone.
No, I don't wanna to break down alone
Reiterating the aversion to breaking down alone.
I got a one way ticket to a one horse town
Repetition of the initial situation: having a one-way ticket to a small town with unstable roads and dim lights.
Where the roads ain't steady and the lights are burned out
Continuation of the description of the town.
I'm gonna get you here get you here somehow
Expressing determination to bring someone to this town.
Help you find a way, help you find a way
Offering to help that person find a way in this challenging environment.
This is the same old story I already know
Reiteration of a familiar story.
It's hard to tell now anymore but so it goes
Reflecting on the difficulty of understanding things in the current situation.
Laying down in the backseat crying saying good luck trying
Repetition of the scene of lying in the backseat, expressing empathy with 'good luck trying.'
High fiving with bent back fingers
Repeating the action of high-fiving with bent back fingers.
Still missing the point after all these years of lying, saying good luck trying
Despite years of lies, still missing the point, expressing skepticism with 'good luck trying.'
