Don't Think About My Death
Embracing Life's Night, Finding Light in Love
Lyrics
there's a bottle on the table
There is a bottle placed on the table.
there's a fire in the glass
There is a drink in the glass, and it's on fire.
there's a long list of things I should be doing
There is a long list of tasks or responsibilities that I should be attending to.
I'm not gonna get very far tonight
Despite the tasks, I won't make much progress tonight.
I'm not gonna get very far
Reiteration that progress tonight will be limited.
it's late in the evening
It is late in the evening.
I woke up an hour ago
The speaker woke up an hour ago, indicating a late start to the day.
there's another bed where I should be sleeping
There is another bed where the speaker should be sleeping.
I'm not gonna get very far tonight
Despite the ideal sleeping arrangement, progress tonight will be limited.
I'm not gonna get very far
Reiteration that progress tonight will be limited.
I will get by starin' at the moon
The speaker finds solace and distraction by staring at the moon.
I will get high all alone in my room
The speaker uses some form of intoxication to cope, alone in their room.
I will survive these stories in my head
The speaker will endure the challenges and narratives in their mind.
when I'm loving you I don't think about my death
When the speaker is in love, thoughts of death are absent.
when I'm loving you I don't think about my death
Reiteration that love serves as a distraction from thoughts of death.
there's a bible in the drawer
There is a Bible in the drawer, suggesting the presence of faith or spirituality.
there's a highway out the window
There is a highway visible through the window, symbolizing different paths in life.
there's another road I should be traveling
There is another path or journey that the speaker should be taking.
I'm not gonna get very far tonight
Despite the alternative paths, progress tonight will be limited.
I'm not gonna get very far this time
Expressing doubt about making significant progress this time.
I'm not gonna get very far
Reiteration that progress tonight will be limited.
