| Middle Class Rut (MC Rut) – Cornbread Lyrics | 11 years ago |
| I think this is about an argument/verbal fight with someone close ( a wife/ gf, a parent) who is either very angry with him or looks down on him. This other person is the one leveling all the insults (cornbread straight MFer, worn out featherless hen, one horse town MFer, used up worn out man, spinless yellow bellied he she, undercover deadbeat). He is expressing doubt ( either verbally or to himself) about any hope of reconciliation at the end of each verse ("Or maybe I'm just[:] picking seed from the wrong one, barking up the wrong tree, shooting with the wrong gun"). The bridge ( "you spend all your time dicking at . . . the wrong life/ you're a traitor!") is him lashing out in retaliation to the insults. He manages to recompose himself and get back to his main question "Can I meet you?" The final answer is of course "No." This leads us to conclude that his suspicions that he was " barking up the wrong tree" are correct. | |
