Three Weeks Lyrics
It's been about three weeks now
Since I've laid in her bed
No rest for my soul I need,
A little soul rest for my head
See i've been dancing with possibility
And playin' with my razor blade
I lost the thing I thought I had
The thing that made me think I had it made.
Why you laying down
I say that it beats standin' up
What's got you feeling so down
I hold up my empty cup
My friend, as you can see,
I have nothing to pour
Invited in, I gave all I had and they showed me the door
They showed me the door
It seems it's been forever now,
I've given up on that bed
I don't have much soul left now
And I don't have that much bread
Im seein' that there are no more possibilities,
I've tossed away my razor blade
I never had the thing I thought I had, The thing that made me think I had it made
Think I had it made
Why are you laying down
I say that it beats standin' up
What's got you feeling so down
I hold up my empty cup
My friend, as you can see,
I have nothing to pour
Invited in, I gave all I had and they showed me the door
They showed me the door
Since I've laid in her bed
No rest for my soul I need,
A little soul rest for my head
See i've been dancing with possibility
And playin' with my razor blade
I lost the thing I thought I had
The thing that made me think I had it made.
I say that it beats standin' up
What's got you feeling so down
I hold up my empty cup
My friend, as you can see,
I have nothing to pour
Invited in, I gave all I had and they showed me the door
They showed me the door
I've given up on that bed
I don't have much soul left now
And I don't have that much bread
Im seein' that there are no more possibilities,
I've tossed away my razor blade
I never had the thing I thought I had, The thing that made me think I had it made
Think I had it made
I say that it beats standin' up
What's got you feeling so down
I hold up my empty cup
My friend, as you can see,
I have nothing to pour
Invited in, I gave all I had and they showed me the door
They showed me the door

This song is about a man suffering through depression three weeks after being kicked out of the house. Now homeless, he is telling his story to us, because he has no money or love from anyone. Then there is a long break in the middle of his overcoming the depression as he accepts his new life. The line "Why are you feeling so down, i HOLD UP MY EMPTY CUP" is about him physically showing how he has nothing now, not even a dollar in his cup.
a little solace for my head dumb ass.
I think its about herin addiction and withdrawal and recovery talking aout playing with his razor blad lost the thing that made him think he had it made this song gives me chills everytime i listen to it.
I've lost a best friend to the needle and altho I never could get into it I had no problem sniffing, luckily those days are long behind me but damn this song has so much passion brock is the fucking man
I don’t know that you need to get to addition to explain this amazing song. Depression, loss, rejection pretty much covers it for me. And I interpret it as a hopeful song. First the music itself is life-affirming and almost triumphant. Yes, life is basic since losing everything, but there’s nowhere to go but up. The fact that he no longer feels the need to “play with his razor blade” signals that. - for me.

Addendum - That’s not to say that addition is not the root cause. I read in Wikipedia that Brock Butler announced a 2013 hiatus, saying he needed “to break bad habits and create new good ones.”
