Just Around The Corner
Crosby Bing Lyrics

The lyrics to "Just Around The Corner" by Crosby Bing suggest a sense of confusion and frustration in the singer's mind. The first line, "Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain" implies that there is more to his feelings and thoughts than what he is conveying on the surface. He continues to suggest that "you can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain" which could mean that our perceptions of things are often limited to our experiences of joy and suffering. The singer then explains that he comes to this place (possibly a metaphor for a state of mind) with his "head to my hands." This image suggests that he is feeling overwhelmed and possibly helpless. The next line, "Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion?" adds to the confusion, indicating that he is seeking refuge somewhere but at the same time, wants to hold onto his power.

The lyrics continue to be paradoxical as he states, "A thorn in your side, a child to protect that claims he's free." This line is enigmatic and could have various interpretations. It could suggest that he is causing pain to someone, but at the same time, he is vulnerable and needs protection. The chorus, "Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven, strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection" reinforces the idea of confusion and mixed emotions, as if the singer is unsure of what he wants. He calls out to his darling to come quickly and ease his mind, suggesting that his confusion is causing distress or even anxiety for him. The line "For my prayers have not been answered in a long time" reveals that he is dealing with a sense of abandonment or neglect from someone, possibly a higher power.

"Just Around The Corner" is a song that delves into human emotions and perceptions, and the lyrics can be interpreted in various ways. It speaks of a sense of confusion and frustration, seeking refuge and wanting to hold onto power at the same time. It sheds light on the complexities of the human mind.
