Sicker
Unveiling the Unsettling Symphony: Decoding 'Sicker' by Wet Leather
Lyrics
You left the motor running
You started the engine of a vehicle and left it running.
Several times
Repeated instances of leaving the motor running.
You used to drive around all night
In the past, you used to drive around aimlessly during the night.
You were unhappy in the usual way
You were experiencing unhappiness in a common or expected manner.
Pulling cards on everybody you hate
You coped with your unhappiness by criticizing or playing mind games with people you dislike.
Sometimes it works out right
Occasionally, things work out positively.
Sometimes it don't work out right
Not always does the situation end favorably.
You left the motor running
Reiteration of leaving the motor running.
Several times
Again, multiple instances of leaving the motor running.
I can still hear it in my mind
The memory of the engine running lingers in the narrator's mind.
I know that nothing is wrong
The narrator believes that everything is fine or normal.
Don't want to be hurt anymore
Expressing a desire not to experience emotional pain anymore.
I know it's nothing to get sicker and sicker
Acknowledging that there's nothing to worsen the current emotional state.
I know that nothing is wrong
Reaffirming the belief that everything is okay.
Don't want to be hurt by anyone
Expressing a reluctance to be hurt by anyone.
I know it's nothing to get sicker and sicker
Reiterating that there's nothing to exacerbate the emotional condition.
You meet new lovers everyday
You encounter new romantic interests regularly.
You have a list of all their names
You maintain a list containing the names of all these lovers.
You ought to be taking better care of yourself
A suggestion or plea for the person to take better care of themselves.
You know I don't give a damn about anybody else
The narrator emphasizes their lack of concern for others.
