It's the Little Things We Do
Life's Highs and Lows: The Aftermath of a Wild Night
Lyrics
Well I woke this morning with a teardrop in my eye
Expressing waking up with sadness or regret, symbolized by a teardrop.
Because last night it felt like the best night of my life
Contrasting the positive experience of the previous night with the current emotional state.
Now there's something that is wrong rotting my insides
Indicating a sense of internal decay or emotional disturbance.
And I don't understand why my brain wants to die
Expressing confusion and frustration about suicidal thoughts.
I had women, wine, party time and everything that mattered
Listing experiences like women, wine, and partying as elements that should bring happiness.
And when I woke up today you know my brain was all in tatters
Highlighting the aftermath of the enjoyable night, emphasizing the toll on mental well-being.
I had bits of lungs shrapnel glass and cigarettes for breakfast
Describing a disturbing breakfast, possibly metaphorical for the consequences of indulgence.
And my lips are blue, my toes are numb and I think I've got the shivers
Physical symptoms like blue lips and numb toes suggest a severe hangover or negative consequences.
It's the little things we do when you go out in the night
Reflecting on the negative consequences of actions done during a night out.
And it's pay day today just for having a good time
Connecting the negative aftermath with the realization that it's payday, adding an ironic twist.
As your hangover unfolds well the questions will arrive
Anticipating questions and regret as the hangover sets in.
Why do I feel like death just for having a good time
Expressing the paradox of feeling awful despite having had a good time.
So I get up and go down the stairs and try to make a sandwich
Attempting to engage in normal activities, like making a sandwich, despite emotional struggles.
But the ham and cheese, margarine they speak an evil language
Using food items to symbolize negative thoughts or guilt associated with indulgence.
It says "Don't eat me I don't deserve to be there in your stomach"
The food "speaking" suggests a sense of unworthiness or guilt associated with consumption.
And I break on down and cry why do good time turn to bummers
Expressing emotional breakdown and questioning why enjoyable experiences often lead to sadness.
It's the little things we do when you go out in the night
Reiterating the theme of negative consequences resulting from nighttime activities.
And it's pay day today just for having a good time
Reconnecting the negative consequences with the irony of receiving payment for the experience.
As your hangover unfolds well the questions will arrive
Repeating the anticipation of questions and regret as the hangover unfolds.
Why do I feel like death just for having a good time
Reiterating the paradox of feeling deathly after what was supposed to be a good time.
