Morning Revelations: Embracing Life's Aftermath
Lyrics
Every morning early risers
Reflecting on waking up early each morning.
Sneak into my room and open my eyelids
Describing someone entering the room and waking the speaker.
And why is that still a surprise to me?
Expressing surprise about the recurring morning wake-up.
Maybe 'cause the night before was bottoms up with the bottle
Recalling a night of heavy drinking with the use of the term "bottoms up with the bottle."
and maybe some more but it really seemed like a good idea
Acknowledging the previous night's activities as potentially ill-advised but seemed good at the time.
And they won't accept the argument that a little more sleep is time well spent
Noting that others do not agree that more sleep is a good use of time.
I think that's what I thought I meant to say
Expressing a difficulty in communicating the intended message about sleep.
I'm a little banged up and I gotta admit that's my own fault
Admitting personal responsibility for feeling physically unwell.
that I feel like shit but that doesn't mean I'll quit on you today
Committing to continue despite feeling unwell.
So now you got me on my feet
Acknowledging being motivated and standing up.
And I know that you're not gonna listen to me but
Recognizing that the listener may not heed advice.
I was never good at being patient when I should've
Admitting a lack of patience in the past.
And even though you make the whole complete
Acknowledging the importance of the listener.
I can't wait till I finally put you back to sleep but
Expressing eagerness to return the listener to sleep despite recognizing their completeness.
We both know how this one goes yeah I don't think no I don't suppose that there
Anticipating the predictable nature of the situation.
Ain't no conversations or any renegotiations
Recognizing a lack of room for negotiation or conversation.
I can't call in sick and just lay here on the floor
Feeling unable to take a break and rest.
If I learned a thing from past mistakes
Reflecting on not repeating past mistakes but questioning late-night actions.
Then why did I stay out so late
Pondering the inconsistency of learning from past mistakes.
When morning comes in screaming through the door
Describing the abrupt arrival of morning.
