We've Been Everywhere

Previous topic - Next topic

Rightly

I fell and broke my wrist but I put this  together
Finished, but still learning to play it.
Refusing painkillers, the pain affects my voice.
When I'm finished with learning, the memory of my pains might remain.
Still, it might go through changes.


   We've Been Everywhere

   get up here, get up on your feet       
the tide will turn for those who resist defeat 
we've been there, n' we know it too well   
the weight of the world must carry itself
   we don't care, laissez faire
     we've been there

horizon, the promise of a distant shore
no longer troubles me, it holds no allure
body enraptured, still, my heart escapes
with no fucks to give, I need not relate
  we don't care, laissez faire
      we've been there

there's no going back t' the shiny and new
 so easy on the naked eye and useful too
   we've been everywhere

dragging your dog through all of that pain
 it's sure to end in tears and in shame
      you will be sorry if only because
   all of this worry, well, it comes at a cost
  we don't care, laissez faire
   we've been there

now, what we have got here has tactile value
all novelty aside for the tested and true
  we've been everywhere
    we've been everywhere

Kind of expresses the way I feel sometimes these days--"dragging your dog through all of that pain". And especially "you will be sorry if only because/all of this worry, well, it comes at a cost". I don't know your thought process behind this, but for me, "all of this worry" is a waste of time and won't help at all, regardless of outcomes.

Your lyrics are always so interesting....

Yes. Vicki. That's how I meant it.

Generally, I kind of go with the current trend of stoicism, there and elsewhere,
it's been said that worrying doesn't help.
I tend to worry sometimes and freeze where I should be taking action.
Worrying is a natural Phenomenon, and strangely, seems useless.

I'm glad to hear you find my lyrics interesting.
This one is not at all ambitious.
I might be trying to work things out when I write about them.
I'm slow. lol.
