Whipping Post
Love's Struggle: A Soul Bound to the Whippin' Post
Lyrics
I've been run down and I've been lied to.
Feeling worn out and deceived in life.
And I don't know why, I let that mean woman make me a fool.
Reflecting on being fooled by a woman and questioning why.
She took all my money, wrecks my new car.
Describing financial loss and damage to personal property caused by the woman.
Now she's with one of my good time buddies,
Indicating the woman's involvement with a friend in a bar.
They're drinkin in some cross-town bar.
Depicting them enjoying drinks in another part of town.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Expressing internal conflict or emotional turmoil.
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Drawing a metaphorical connection to being tied to a whipping post, suggesting emotional or psychological bondage.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being bound to hardship.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
Conveying intense emotional distress and suffering.
My friends tell me, that I've been such a fool.
Acknowledging friends' advice about being foolish in the relationship.
But I had to stand by and take it baby, all for lovin' you.
Justifying enduring pain for the sake of love.
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done.
Describing the immersion in sorrow while contemplating the impact of the relationship.
But nothing seemed to change, the bad times stayed the same, And I can't run.
Expressing the frustration of no positive change despite personal sacrifice.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel,
Reiteration of internal struggles and emotional pain.
Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Repeating the metaphor of being tied to a whipping post.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the emotional burden.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
Intensifying the sense of impending emotional collapse.
Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel, Like I been tied to the whippin' post.
Reiteration of the ongoing emotional struggle and bondage.
Tied to the whippin' post, tied to the whippin' post.
Emphasizing the prolonged connection to suffering.
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'.
Reiterating the overwhelming feeling of impending emotional demise.
