Too Much Trouble
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Van Morrison's 'Too Much Trouble' Reflection
Lyrics
Takes me away for awhile, it takes me away
Takes me away for a while, providing a temporary escape
Away for awhile, I can't even pray
Being away for a while makes it difficult to pray
Away for awhile, I can't even smile
Extended absence affects the ability to smile
I've got too much trouble in my mind
Expressing the presence of significant troubles in the mind
Well I lay down at night, I can't really sleep
Difficulty sleeping at night
When I get up, I don't want to eat
Loss of appetite upon waking up
Always feels too extreme
Everyday experiences feel excessively intense
Too much trouble in my dream
Troubles extend into dreams, causing unrest
When I go to work, well it just ain't right
Work feels challenging and adversarial
Feels like everything's a fight
Everything at work seems like a constant struggle
Feels like it's too uptight
Work environment feels overly tense
Too much trouble in my life
Life, in general, is burdened with too many problems
If I could just get some real good rest
If quality rest is achieved, there's hope for improvement
Might be able to do it again
Rest might enable the ability to face challenges again
Straighten up and fly right
Desire to straighten up and improve life
Stop this trouble in my mind
Seeking a resolution to the troubles in the mind
When I go to work, it just ain't right
Work continues to be problematic and stressful
Feels like everything's a fight
Constantly feeling like everything is a struggle at work
Try not to get too uptight
Effort to avoid becoming excessively stressed
Stop this trouble in my mind
Seeking an end to troubles affecting daily life
When I go to sleep, I just can't get it
Difficulty achieving restful sleep
Wake up in the morning, I'm just not with it
Waking up feeling disoriented and disconnected
Stop this when I give the sign
Expressing a desire to end troubles when a sign is given
Too much trouble in my mind
Ongoing troubles affecting the mind
If I could just get some real good rest
Quality rest seen as a potential solution to challenges
Might be able to do my best
Rest might enable the ability to perform at one's best
Straighten up and fly right
Desire to improve and overcome challenges
Stop this trouble in my life
Seeking an end to troubles affecting overall life
Stop, stop, stop, stop
Repeated plea to stop the troubles
Stop, stop, stop
Emphasizing the urgency to halt the difficulties
Stop this trouble in my life
A final call to end the troubles in life
