Echoes of Desolation: TK & The Holy Know-Nothings Unravel the Painful Cycle
Lyrics
I've been here before
I've experienced this situation previously.
My time has come circling back for more
It's my turn again, returning for more of this experience.
My woman is hurting
My significant other is in pain.
My woman is hurting
Reiteration of the emotional distress of the speaker's woman.
And I've been here before
A repetition of the speaker's familiarity with the situation.
I remember the weight that I threw to the floor
Recollection of a previous intense emotional moment.
And up through the ceiling
Reference to a past experience, with the weight being a metaphorical burden.
I flew through the feeling of being alone
Expressing the emotional release of not feeling alone anymore.
But I've been here before
Confirmation of the speaker's recurrence in this emotional state.
I've been hunting a ghost
The speaker has been pursuing an elusive, intangible goal or idea.
And ghost hunting sure keeps a boy on his toes
Ghost hunting is challenging and requires constant alertness.
I think I've gone crazy
Speculation that the speaker might be losing touch with reality.
I think I've gone crazy
Reiteration of the speaker's perception of their mental state.
Or something's gone to my head
Indication that something unusual is affecting the speaker's thoughts.
I'm high on the fumes of my own stale breath
The speaker feels a sense of intoxication from their own stagnant thoughts.
And soon I'll be coming
Anticipation of a forthcoming event or realization.
Soon I'll be coming down for more
Expectation of a return to a challenging or distressing situation.
Down for more
Repetition for emphasis on the anticipation of returning for more.
The blue of her eyes
Description of the woman's eyes, possibly highlighting her emotional state.
That sound that she makes when they aren't dry
Reference to a specific sound associated with the woman's emotional distress.
My woman is hurting
Reiteration of the woman's pain.
And I'm pulling the curtains
Metaphorically drawing a curtain, possibly to shield the woman or the speaker.
And I've been here before
Confirmation of the speaker's familiarity with the current situation.
I can hear that damn thing rapping on my door
Auditory perception of a disturbance, possibly symbolic of a challenge.
I guess I'll be leaving
Decision or inevitability of departing from the current situation.
I guess I'll be leaving her all alone
Anticipation of leaving the woman alone in her distress.
Lord, she's been there before
Recognition that the woman has been in a similar situation before.
