Cover art for Blue On Black lyrics by Kenny Wayne Shepherd

To me, it's about the helplessness of addiction. Tears will never matter in a river... Push? Shove? What's the difference? Joker on jack... meaningless hand. Dead man's touch... cold and again meaningless You can't hear a whisper against a scream And none of the meaningless things we fill our lives with will bring you back from it.
