Lyrics

I think these hands have felt a lot

I've experienced a lot with these hands.

I don't know, what have I touched?

I'm unsure what consequences my actions may have had.

I think these eyes have seen a lot

My eyes have witnessed much.

I don't know, maybe they've seen too much

I'm uncertain if my eyes have seen too much, overwhelming me.


I think this brain has thought a lot

My mind has pondered extensively.

Searching, trying to find the crutch

Continuously seeking support or relief.

I think this heart has bled once too often

My heart has suffered frequently.

This time, it's bled a bit too much

Now, it's suffered excessively.


Too much of anything is too much for me

Excess of anything is burdensome for me.

Too much of everything gets too much for me

An overflow of everything becomes overwhelming for me.


I can't remember before '49

I can't recall before 1949.

But I know '48 was there

I have memories from 1948.

My ears let in what I should speak out

I hear but may not vocalize what I should.

Mmm, there's something in the air

Suggesting a mysterious or ominous feeling in the atmosphere.


I've overloaded on my way

I've burdened myself along the journey.

Bye bye, you better keep in touch

Saying goodbye but urging to stay connected.

I think your ears hear a whole lot of music

You, too, have heard an excessive amount of music.

And like me, you've heard a bit too much

You, like me, might be overwhelmed by what you've heard.


Too much of anything is too much for me

Too much of anything becomes overwhelming for me.

Too much of everything gets too much for me

An excess of everything becomes too much for me.


I think these hands have felt a lot

Similar to line 1: experienced a lot with these hands.

I don't know, what have I touched?

Reiterating uncertainty about the impact of actions.

I think these eyes have seen a lot

Similar to line 3: my eyes have witnessed a lot.

I don't know, maybe they've seen too much

Reiterating uncertainty if the experiences were too much.


I think this brain has thought a lot

Recurrence of line 6: my mind has dwelled deeply.

Searchin', tryin' to find a crutch

Still seeking support or reliance.

I think this heart has bled once too often

Repeating the idea of frequent heartache.

This time, it's bled a bit too much

Emphasizing the current excessive suffering of the heart.


Too much of anything is too much for me

Reiterating the idea that an excess of anything burdens me.

Too much of everything gets too much for me

Emphasizing that an overflow of everything becomes too much for me.
