Drop For Days
Blind Mr. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And try something else instead
Haven't seen a year today
Got to get some sleep
Haven't seen my bed in days
Body tells me something's wrong
All I believe in
All my life I have tried
I have tried
I need a drink
Something strong to help me think
Haven't touched a drop in days
I don't want to care
Want to leave my problems bare
Having been alone my way
It's the days I'm afraid of
All I believe in
All my life I have tried
To find what's missing
It's the days I'm afraid of
All I believe in
All my life I have tried
I have tried
It's the days I'm afraid of
All I believe in
All my life I have tried
to find what's missing
It's the days I'm afraid of
All I believe in
All my life I have tried
I have tried
The lyrics of Blind Mr. Jones's song Drop For Days seem to represent a person who is going through a rough time, struggling to find meaning or purpose in their life. The first verse starts with the lines "Got to clear my head / And try something else instead / Haven't seen a year today," suggesting that the person is trying to shake off old habits and start afresh. They then go on to say "Got to get some sleep / Haven't seen my bed in days / Body tells me something's wrong," which indicates that they are physically and emotionally exhausted, and their body is sending warning signals that something needs to change.
The second verse talks about the person's struggle to find solace, saying "I need a drink / Something strong to help me think / Haven't touched a drop in days." They seem to be looking for a way out of their problems, but at the same time, they don't want to care anymore. They say, "I don't want to care / Want to leave my problems bare / Having been alone my way." However, they seem to be aware that this is not the solution to their problems, as they sing "All my life I have tried / To find what's missing."
The chorus of the song repeats the line "It's the days I'm afraid of," and the person seems to be acknowledging their fear of facing their problems head-on. The repetition of the line "All I believe in / All my life I have tried / I have tried" emphasizes the person's struggle to find meaning in their life, and the fact that they have been trying for a long time.
Overall, the song Drop For Days seems to be a poignant exploration of a person's struggle to find their place in the world and the fear they have of facing their problems head-on. The lyrics are emotive and touching, revealing a deep sense of vulnerability and humanity in the words.
