Nøthing

This song demonstrates a person addicted to alcohol (could be other things...) that yearns to get his or her love or the forgiveness from the one he or she holds dear to him or her. He or she may not know that with every step or action they take trying to better the situation, it will dig them into a deeper hole that they are already trying to get out of.

I know every family isn’t perfect. Mine certainly wasn’t a pleasant one. I never really got to know my father while growing up. Everything that I can remember from my childhood always has to do with my father coming home drunk. He worked as a welder and made GOOD money. We lived in what my older brother called, “The Mansion.” Well it certainly wasn’t a mansion, but I good sized one at the top of a hill. When I became an adult and was married I wanted to get to know my ole man before he passes. I used to take several rides out to his place to visit, many times for shopping since he can’t drive. But there were times I’d be over and he would want to get into an argument with me. It could have been over anything ridiculous. Immediately afterwards I warned my dad that if he kept it up that I was going home. My comments meant nothing to him since he fired right back. I then would leave. He’d call a day or two later to apologize. Usually I forgave him. But he’s gone now and those are the memories I have my father who drank all his life, only to realize that he is alone. He was alone. He quits drinking and all he has now are memories, sad, sad memories of his life.

Really sad...
