Painstaking was my last blog and at this point I'd like to dig into it just a little bit!
PAINSTAKING
Verse 1:
The last that I'm remembering was laying in this place
To find myself in daylight with morning at my face
You must have walked away and I'm a loss for losing
The main character wakes up on an unknown street corner with no recollection of how he arrived there. The only thing he remembers is being out with his close friends the night before for a little fun; one of these friends had agreed to be the sober one for the night!
Chorus:
Painstaking, ending, thinking but nothing
Conquering, closing in, distancing from knowing
His mind is unable to piece together the previous nights events which could have resulted in him being abandoned and left to the elements of nature and man. All he knows is that his "friends" had to have just walked away!
Verse 2:
Sat up without memory and passers by they gave
To settle in and make this home, but all I want is to live
And you must have walked away, I'm a loss still losing
As he examines himself he realizes that loose change had been laid on him while he was laying down making his feelings of self worth greatly diminish which increases his level of aggravation and frustration!
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I recognize my part in this, I may have fought you with my fists
Regardless what the answer is, how could you, how could you?
He is willing to accept that he carries some responsibility for being in this situation and that he acknowledges that his drinking may have even led him to aggression against those that he was with the night before. However; even with all of these facts or possible scenarios, he can find no excuse for leaving him alone, none!
(Chorus).
