Monday Morning
Buck-O-Nine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Got an insubordination of a brain
If I open my eyes, put my feet on the ground
It’s just one more day I’m a Fuckin’ Clown
Screams… Like the day you were born
Whispers… Talking out of turn
Nightmares… Now you can’t sleep
Stranded… Even though I’m in the wild
Ice feels… Like a burning fire
Sliced by… My own hand
Spinnin’ around with my head in the sand
OH - Can’t take anymore - NO
OH - Can’t feel anymore - NO
I’m Snoozin’ again, it’s Monday Morning
Creepin’ up on NINE(am) got a lot of regret
The sounds outside, want a hole in my head
I don’t really care about being late
If it’s all the same - I got nothing to say
One more five - I got a-lot on my mind
Jets are screamin’ I just wanna die
I never heard a dog – bark like that
The kid downstairs is a fucking brat!
OH - Can’t take anymore – NO
OH - (I can’t no respect) Can’t feel anymore – NO
I’m snoozin’ again it’s Monday Morning
Oh shit, I gotta go-to work…
The lyrics to Buck-O-Nine's song "Monday Morning" convey a sense of disorientation and frustration that many people experience at the beginning of a new week. The singer expresses feeling strange and rebellious, as if their brain is not cooperating with them. They dread the routine of waking up and facing another day where they feel like a clown, putting on a facade for the world.
The vivid imagery in the lyrics reflects the internal turmoil of the singer. The references to screams, whispers, and nightmares suggest a chaotic mental state, where the person feels overwhelmed and unable to find peace or rest. Despite being surrounded by the wild and nature, they feel stranded and isolated, as if trapped in their own mind. The mention of ice feeling like a burning fire and being sliced by their own hand implies a self-destructive and painful inner struggle.
The repetition of "Can’t take anymore" and "Can’t feel anymore" conveys a sense of numbness and resignation to their circumstances. The singer seems to be on the verge of breaking down, unable to cope with the pressures of daily life. The references to feeling like they just want to die and hearing loud noises outside suggest a desperation and a desire to escape from their current reality.
The lyrics also touch on everyday annoyances and irritations, such as being late, noisy neighbors, and feeling unappreciated ("(I can’t no respect)"). The singer seems to be overwhelmed by small frustrations and unable to find any sense of peace or purpose in their daily routine. The abrupt ending of the lyrics with the realization that they have to go to work further emphasizes the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of monotony and dissatisfaction.
