Lyrics
I got too much on my mind
I am preoccupied with thoughts and concerns.
Yeah, so play that thing in a different style
Suggesting a change in musical style to reflect the speaker's state of mind.
Caught on a hook and a line
Feeling trapped or ensnared in a situation.
Yeah, thicken, use and drive me outta my mind
Feeling overwhelmed and manipulated, possibly by external influences.
So I'm down, so punch me in the decals
Expressing a low point, asking for a figurative punch to jolt the speaker.
And see which of my teeth tells
Suggesting a need for a wake-up call, with teeth as a metaphor for truth or honesty.
The honor of thieves, hard to prove
Reference to questionable honor and difficulty in proving it.
But who put the devil in you?
Pondering who or what has influenced negative qualities, possibly metaphorically "the devil."
I got too much on my mind
Reiteration of being mentally burdened.
I cross my chest to keep myself in line
A pledge or promise to oneself, possibly to stay on a moral path.
Willing the water from wine
Expressing a desire to transform something ordinary into something exceptional.
I've wasted years looking for somewhere to hide
Regret over wasted time searching for a place of refuge or escape.
Lookin' down, just kick me where the sun shines
Request for a figurative kick, possibly to snap the speaker out of a negative state.
And now we're on for hot times
Anticipation of enjoyable or passionate times.
And bashin' out to hammer the blues
A commitment to confront and overcome challenges.
Yeah, who put the devil in you?
Repeating the question of who is responsible for negative influences.
I'm finding out where my head's at
Discovering and understanding one's current state of mind.
Like loose change in a laundromat
Comparing self-discovery to finding loose change in unexpected places.
It chews me through
A process that is emotionally taxing or consuming.
From Dallas Crane to Motley Crue, oh
Referencing different bands as a way of illustrating the speaker's journey.
Yeah, but I know just why I'm masquerading
Awareness of wearing a figurative mask or facade.
And why my tracks is fading
Understanding the reasons for fading or losing oneself.
And bash out to hammer the blue
Reiterating the commitment to confront and overcome challenges.
Who put the devil in you?
Posing the question again, emphasizing the search for accountability.
I hit on the speed in my shoe
Referring to drug use metaphorically to cope with challenges.
Now who put the devil in you?
Repeating the question about the source of negative influence.
'Cause you know we're going out there again
Expressing determination to face challenges again.
I'm just throwing my trust to the wind
Taking a risk and being vulnerable, trusting fate.
We're gonna beat this damn thing to the end
Commitment to persist and overcome challenges until the end.
And then kiss it off, hey
Expressing a dismissive attitude toward challenges, ready to move on.
