| Ryan Adams – Oh My God, Whatever, Etc. Lyrics

|
|
I feel like it’s about a kid growing up in a broken home whose mother might be a prostitute? Like having to grow up way too fast because you’ve seen some awful things. |

I think it’s about the times faith has helped him find his way? How faith has always guided him in the right direction but he feels guilty that he hasn’t been a good Christian (or whatever religion he is)? Maybe? |

| Ryan Adams – Life Is Beautiful Lyrics

|
I think it’s about him questioning his faith? There are times when he needed guidance and nothing helped him so he was let down by his faith. It’s about having a transactional relationship with your faith and feeling bad about it. |

I think it’s about how kids can be nurtured into happy people if they have people who love them. Without it, you would lead a troubled life. |

| Ryan Adams – Let It Ride Lyrics

|
I think it’s about knowing you should let go of all your baggage and grow up but you don’t want to leave the hedonism, the excitement, the drugs, the girls. Even through you know it will be the death of you. |

| Ryan Adams – Cherry Lane Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
I think it’s about really wanting to be with somebody but something just doesn’t feel right, and you don’t know what’s wrong. But he feels bad because he thought this would be better than it is. So he committed to her but now he regrets it. So then he lies to himself so that he can deal with it.
I can’t never get close - is not her not letting him, it’s about him not allowing himself to get close to her. |

| Ryan Adams – Don't Ask for the Water Lyrics

|
Don’t ask for the water is maybe about racism in the south. Asking for water is like asking for truth. Asking for the truth will teach you about pain.
Weapon of choice, confederate flag. |

I think it’s about the version of yourself you wish you were. Like your life would be better if you could only be happier, smarter, thinner. And it’s like, if only the better self could come and fix the broken self. |

@[elasticheart:38200] I think it’s about regret before you die. Feeling like you don’t know how much time you will have before the regret sinks in. |

| Ryan Adams – Am I Safe Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
I think it’s about the guilt you would have by leaving somebody and if you yourself will be able to live with that guilt.
Close my eyes, what if it was mine? That’s the guilt of wanting out of a good relationship. |

| Ryan Adams – Kim Lyrics

|
I think it’s about the memory of losing somebody. Things remind you of that person everywhere. And as time goes on those things get less and less prominent in your memory. And then everything is eventually gone and it’s like that person never existed. |

| Ryan Adams – Two Lyrics

I think it’s about realising you’re broken or in need of help. And finally coming to the realisation that if you don’t ask for help, you’ll never get back to who you were. |

| Ryan Adams – Magnolia Mountain Lyrics
| 4 years ago
|
I think Magnolia Mountain is about racism.
Chorus: religion lies to the us. It will forgive you for unspeakable acts.
Bluebird verse is about people wanting freedom from their own situation, whether it be race or physical.
Cotton fields burning verse: the reality of racism vs religion extremism. And how you can always ask for forgiveness even if you what you do is wrong.
That made my saviour made for me; and us: as in just us, not them. |
