Woodburning Lyrics

Say what I need and I kick you down
No, I'm fine, don't you hang around

And I find myself
Here in another home
Where everything moves so slow
So tired

Take the longest day
Throw it all away
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything
Every day's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything

You should know by now we're all liars
Take me where you go
Only higher

Take the longest day
Waste it all away
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything
Everyday's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything
Can't do anything

Anything you want
Anything you want
Anything

Take the longest day
Throw it all away
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything
Everyday's the same
Nothing ever change
I can't stand it
But I can't do anything
Can't do anything

Here in another home
Where everything moves so slow
So tired

Cover art for Woodburning lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

This song is about depression. Hating your life but feeling completely powerless to change it. You feel like you're just throwing your life away, and you hate yourself for it, but you feel like you can't do anything about it.

Cover art for Woodburning lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

A man who ignores the recommendations of a witch and is cursed to ennui. He begs her to stop but there is no reprieve.

Cover art for Woodburning lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

It is not a positive outlook. Everything in his life is slow, boring, and monotonous and he is powerless to change it.

Sounds like being in jail.

Cover art for Woodburning lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

Our lives are like Wood, and the world is a fire in which we are consumed. We are powerless to pull ourselves from this fire in to save ourselves. Ashes to ashes...

My Opinion

Sounds very much like life in a mental hospital.
