What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Driven to silence, but I'm drowning in sin
2
My mandolin hangs on the wall once again
3
I can't seem to find the right words from within,
4
But I won't be looking for long
5
There comes a time when nothing seems clear'
6
Your past out on the front porch with a head full of beer,
7
Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear
8
But I won't be thinking for long
9
So many years ago when I was pure,
10
I was drunk on direction but afflicted with a cure
11
For all ailments cynical, that's how things were
12
But I didn't stay drunk for too long
13
Notions and knowledge came and sobered me up
14
I sipped from their bottle; I slammed a whole cup
15
That swill seemed to sit well, but I should've thrown it up
16
Cause it didn't sit well for too long
17
I was a fool
18
I was stupid because
19
I was mistaking knowledge for just a good buzz
20
Five years drunk on wine and words and wit
21
Served by cynics and charlatans
22
They were all full of shit
23
Empty cans of frustration and cans of regret
24
Line the living room floor that you've often swept
25
Pop another one open and wretch at the stench
26
It's a hard drink to swallow for a thirst you can't quench
27
But there'll come a time when it all seems clear
28
When your past out on the front porch, your head full of beer
29
Confused and clouded by thoughts of you dear,
30
But I won't be clouded for long
31
Now I'm driven to silence, and I'm drowning in sin
32
My mandolin hangs on the wall once again
33
I can't seem to find the right words from within,
34
But I won't be looking for long
35
I'll stink of drink 'til I let you in,
36
Then I won't be stinking for long
