Lyrics
Monday morning, I looked the mirror in the eyes
Reflecting on oneself in the mirror on a Monday morning.
I think I'd kill myself, if I ever wet blind
Expressing a strong aversion to blindness, contemplating self-harm.
Your life is slipping away
Feeling that life is slipping away.
You found out you're older than you thought
Discovering one's age is older than perceived.
You were today
Realizing the current state of being older than one was today.
You've gotta stay optimistic
Encouraging a positive outlook despite challenges.
It gets harder by the second
Acknowledging the increasing difficulty of staying optimistic.
We all know we're edging our way toward - the end
Acknowledging the inevitability of approaching the end of life.
Carving hearts & crosses in my head
Mentally struggling, possibly with emotional pain.
There's people on the streets
Observing people in dire situations on the streets.
Throwin' rocks at themselves
Describing individuals harming themselves due to financial struggles.
'Coz they ain't got no money
Linking self-harm to financial difficulties and living in misery.
And they're livin' in hell
Noting the harsh conditions and struggles faced by others.
But there's animals down the road
Referring to animals contributing to the harsh environment.
Adding fuel to this heat
Adding more challenges to an already difficult situation.
It never did take much guts to be a sheep
Commenting on the ease of conforming to societal expectations.
There are no voices - as the time approaches
Noticing a lack of meaningful voices as a significant event approaches.
I wanted to be like Bob Dylan
Expressing an initial desire to be like Bob Dylan.
Until I discovered Moses
Changing aspirations upon discovering Moses.
Saturday night and I was lying in my bed
Setting the scene on a Saturday night lying in bed.
The window was open and raindrops
Experiencing raindrops hitting the head through an open window.
Were bouncing off my head
Describing the impact of raindrops on one's head.
When it hit me like a Thunderbolt!!!
A sudden realization or revelation hitting like a thunderbolt.
"I don't know nothing and I'm scared
Expressing ignorance and fear of not knowing anything.
That I never will"
Fearing a lack of knowledge and understanding.
You pray to your god, that you'll never
Turning to prayer to avoid experiencing intense pain again.
Feel so much pain again
Acknowledging the onset of agony despite prayers.
But the agony - has just begun
Recognizing the beginning of emotional suffering.
Movin' on, opening new doors
Moving forward and embracing new opportunities.
Life...just doesn't seem that simple
Contemplating the complexity of life.
Anymore
Reflecting on the perceived complexity of life.
And in case I don't see you again
Expressing uncertainty about future meetings.
I hope you'll feel glad that you
Hoping for positive memories if not seen again.
Know me - while I was here!!!
Encouraging the acknowledgment of one's presence while alive.
