D.D. Jackson Lyrics

Here is a song from the wrong side of town
This song comes from a place that is not seen as acceptable or respected by the mainstream society.

Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
The singer is experiencing a feeling of isolation and sadness that weighs him down.

And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
The feeling of loneliness and emptiness is coming from inside the singer and is overwhelming him.

Here is a page from the emptiest stage
This is a representation of the lowest point in the artist's life, where he feels desolate and unhappy.

A cage or the heaviest cross ever made
The feeling of being trapped and burdened by life is compared to a heavy, imprisoning object.

A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
The singer feels as if he is caught in a trap that could lead to his emotional destruction.

And I thank you for bringing me here
The singer is grateful to someone for leading him to a place where he feels he belongs.

For showing me home
The place where the artist feels he belongs is referred to as 'home'.

For singing these tears
The music is able to evoke emotions in the artist that lead to tears.

Finally I've found that I belong here
The artist has finally found the place where he feels he belongs after all the sadness and loneliness he has been through.

The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets
The singer is experiencing physical discomfort in addition to emotional discomfort.

That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet
The feeling of discomfort and unease is so pervasive that it seems to have taken hold of the artist's whole body.

Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
The singer feels overwhelmed by the passing of time and the emotions he is experiencing.

Feels like home
The place where the singer finds himself feels like home to him.

I should have known
The singer regrets not having discovered this place earlier in his life.

From my first breath
The artist feels as though he should have known that this was where he belonged from the beginning of his life.

God send the only true friend I call mine
The artist is thanking a higher power for the friend who has led him to his place of belonging.

Pretend that I'll make amends the next time
The singer knows that he has made mistakes in the past and is determined to make up for them in the future.

Befriend the glorious end of the line
The singer is resigning himself to the idea that life will eventually come to an end, but is willing to embrace it and find the beauty in it.
