The Crutch
Wanderlust Whiskey: A Journey through Solitude and Streets
Lyrics
Like a Princess stuck in a factory
Feeling trapped, comparing oneself to a princess in an undesirable situation (factory).
There's nothin' here no for me
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current circumstances.
Like a warted toad on a highway road
Feeling unattractive or out of place, using a metaphor of a toad on a highway.
The road seems never ending
Perception of the road as endless, emphasizing a sense of hopelessness.
That's what appeals, whenever I feel
Finding comfort in the never-ending road during restless and anxious moments.
Restless, solitary, anxiety
Describing emotional states - restlessness, solitude, anxiety.
Just give me that road, when the world
Desire for the open road when the world becomes cold, seeking solace in whiskey.
Turns cold, and a nice hot glass of whiskey
Turning to alcohol (whiskey) as a coping mechanism.
Well, it's blank above my thoughts and
Empty thoughts above and below words, indicating a lack of clarity or purpose.
It's blank below my words
Expressing vulnerability when intoxicated.
Get me drunk and then I'm yours
Linking intoxication to emotional openness and connection.
So give me two pints o' stout, two pints o' stout
Requesting two pints of stout, using alcohol to numb thoughts.
One so I don't think no more, and one to face
Using alcohol to escape and face challenges.
What I've in store
Preparing for what lies ahead with the help of alcohol.
Two pints o' stout, two pints o' stout
Referencing financial constraints, suggesting a need to leave.
Well, my dear you have no money, so you can turn
Encouraging someone without money to leave.
And walk right out
Reflecting on the possibility of parting ways while there's still positivity.
Have you ever thought we might have sought in all
Questioning the value of existence and finding meaning in travel.
Our years together, to part now while there's
Exploring the compatibility of a partner and contemplating separation.
Still a smile and face the lonely weather
Considering the fleeting nature of happiness and facing challenges alone.
Well, what's the worth of this wretched
Questioning the value of life.
Earth, but traveling to new places
Finding worth in exploring new places despite the perceived wretchedness of the earth.
Does the one you like seem a chord to strike
Assessing the compatibility of a person by their actions.
Does appealing describe his faces
Wondering if someone's appearance matches their character.
No, I'm not content, not with myself
Expressing discontent with oneself, both physically and mentally.
Not my body or my mind
Feeling dissatisfaction with one's body and mind.
It's freezing on O'Connell Street and I'm
Describing a cold environment on O'Connell Street and engaging with a possibly risky person (hooker).
Talking to a hooker
Engaging in conversation with a person of questionable profession.
Well, she might be a cop, but either way I
Accepting the situation without judgment.
Ain't no better
Expressing a lack of alternatives.
So it's rounds on me, one chance you see,
Offering to buy rounds, driven by having money.
Because I have the money
Using alcohol as a means of socializing.
When there's no more booze
Anticipating the need to confront personal thoughts after alcohol runs out.
Then I'll go home and deal with my own thinking
Dealing with introspection and challenging thoughts.
Like a dream that tortures me
Comparing a troubling dream to the peace experienced with a partner.
Each night is the peace
Highlighting the inner turmoil experienced each night.
I've known with you
Recalling a sense of peace and happiness with a significant other.
