Wired
Unraveling the Night: The Emotional Turmoil in 'Wired' by The Talbott Brothers
Lyrics
I can't sleep again tonight
I am experiencing insomnia once again tonight.
Maybe it's the dark or it's the light
I am uncertain whether the cause of my sleeplessness is darkness or light.
I've been angry with God
I have been harboring feelings of anger towards God.
For not giving me what I want
I am frustrated with God for not granting my desires.
All my fears are haunting me
Various anxieties are persistently troubling me.
Mind is wired while you're sound asleep
My mind is active while you are peacefully asleep.
And I can't feel, so pour another one
I am emotionally numb, so I suggest pouring another drink.
Let's keep this heavy 'til we see the sun
Let's maintain this emotional weight until we witness the sunrise.
I'm always on and I don't know how
I am consistently active, and I lack knowledge of how to stop.
No, I don't know how to shut off
I do not possess the ability to shut off.
I hold my pride just like a gun
I guard my pride fiercely, much like holding a weapon.
Aimed at everyone I love
My pride is directed towards everyone I love.
Don't know who I can trust
Uncertain about whom I can rely on or trust.
I'm not who I think you thought I was
I am not the person you may have perceived me to be.
And all my fears are haunting me
Fears continue to trouble me persistently.
Mind is wired while you're sound asleep
My mind remains active while you peacefully sleep.
I can't feel 'em, so pour another one
I am unable to feel these fears, so I suggest having another drink.
Let's keep this heavy 'til we see the sun
Let's endure this emotional burden until we witness the sunrise.
And I'm always on and I don't know how
I am consistently active, and I lack knowledge of how to stop.
No, I don't know how to shut off
I do not possess the ability to shut off.
All my fears are haunting me
Fears persistently trouble me.
Mind is wired while you're sound asleep
My mind remains active while you are in a peaceful sleep.
I can't feel, so pour another one
Emotionally, I am numb, so I suggest having another drink.
Let's keep this heavy 'til we see the sun
Let's endure this emotional weight until the sunrise.
I'm always on and I don't know how
I am consistently active, and I lack knowledge of how to stop.
No, I don't know how to shut off
I do not possess the ability to shut off.
