Rock Bottom
Rock Bottom Revelations: A Journey from Despair to Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Rolling back into town and the breeze puts a shiver in my knees
Returning to town with a sense of discomfort as the wind causes a shiver.
I look up and all the leaves are falling off of the trees
Observing leaves falling from trees, symbolizing change or decline.
I'm going down, down, down to rock bottom at the bottom of the sea
Descending to rock bottom, possibly facing a personal or emotional low.
All along I always knew that it was coming for me
Awareness that a challenging situation was inevitable and approaching.
This time they never saw it till it hit them
Surprise as others didn't anticipate the difficulty until it struck.
But they stayed right on the rhythm
Despite the surprise, maintaining adherence to a rhythm or routine.
It's bigger than you and me for sure
Acknowledging that the challenge is larger than individual perspectives.
This time around we better get 'em
Expressing the need to confront challenges in the current situation.
Two aces, better split 'em
Suggesting the decision to face challenges individually rather than together.
I'll take my chances and hit the door
Willing to take risks and embrace uncertainty by leaving the current situation.
Sitting in the backyard in a rocking chair
Relaxing in the backyard, contemplating life from a reflective position.
Smoking a cigarette
Engaging in a mundane activity like smoking, indicating a moment of pause.
Wondering if anything has even happened yet
Questioning whether significant events have occurred or if life is stagnant.
She breathes deep and tells her baby don't you forget
Encouraging someone to remember their true self amid life's challenges.
You got to be yourself cause life's too short for all the bullshit
Emphasizing the importance of authenticity due to life's brevity.
Too quick to take that bait, too quick to say no way
Being cautious not to fall for traps or make hasty decisions.
But I'm too tempted not to play
Feeling the temptation to engage in a situation despite potential risks.
Too slick to make mistakes, hides tricks behind his face
Skilled at avoiding mistakes and concealing true intentions.
Stay waiting 'til your hair is gone and turned to grey
Waiting until old age to confront life's challenges.
Gonna move to a house on the prairie
Expressing a desire to move to a simpler and quieter life on the prairie.
I'll be on the next flight momentarily
Ready to leave promptly and pursue a new way of life.
Looking out the window up at the moon
Gazing at the moon, possibly contemplating the distance from a loved one.
I'll hold whatever you can't carry
Offering support for what others cannot carry, indicating commitment.
I'll be unnecessarily fighting for my way to get back to you
Struggling unnecessarily to return to someone or something important.
Waiting for an answer, I haven't got one yet
Awaiting a response with uncertainty and anxiety.
I'm in a cold sweat
Experiencing intense anxiety, possibly related to the awaited response.
Wondering if anything has even happened yet
Reflecting again on whether significant events have transpired.
Breathe deep and try to change up my mindset
Attempting to change perspective and mindset in the face of uncertainty.
Cause there's nothing yet
Recognizing the absence of significant developments or answers.
Nothing yet, nothing yet, nothing yet
Reiterating the lack of substantial change or progress.
That makes me feel like you do
Expressing a unique and profound connection with someone.
Floating on this spherical ball of life
Contemplating life's journey as being on a spherical ball with ups and downs.
Sometimes
Acknowledging the sporadic nature of encountering miracles in life.
Sometimes you'll find a miracle in your life
Acknowledging the occasional presence of miracles in one's life.
