its amazing how far music can come.. 24 years after it released and its one of the most heartfelt songs ive heard
You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself
In the cold riddle where you find yourself not blocked
By a door you locked
But don't get backed into a corner
Talking to yourself
Come on back to me
My pride tomorrow
You feel hollow
And you know it's because you are
Well at least so far
I think of you with hesitation
I think of you too hard
Come on back to me
But don't make me sorry
You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself
For the hard time you give yourself
For the hard time you give yourself
In the cold riddle where you find yourself not blocked
By a door you locked
But don't get backed into a corner
Talking to yourself
Come on back to me
My pride tomorrow
You feel hollow
And you know it's because you are
Well at least so far
I think of you with hesitation
I think of you too hard
Come on back to me
But don't make me sorry
You're a first timer, blaming everybody else
For the hard time you give yourself
For the hard time you give yourself

Warren wanted a Beach Boys thing for this one, and Carl Wilson and Billy Hinsche came in, with Carl arranging the vocal parts. The other harmony vocalists (credited as the "Gentlemen Boys") were Jackson Browne, J.D. Souther, Zevon's longtime backers Waddy Wachtel and Jorge Calderon, and Linda Rondstadt/Stone Poneys guitarist Kenny Edwards.

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
does IEATFOOD post the same stuff on all the new moon songs?
i think it's "find yourself not blocked, but a door you locked" that's what i hear.
