No More
Ginger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna, I don't wanna work on this song no more
I've barely necked me breakfast and me nerves are already raw
I've a mind to screw this paper up
And chuck it in the bin on the floor
Cos I don't wanna, I don't wanna work on this song no more
My Tanglewood got pregnant with another song that wanted to live
So I made a pot of Hot Java Lava, and I tried to get positive
The caffeine ploughed some memories out
They were darker than the brew
Now I don't wanna, I don't wanna go back there with you
(chorus)
Well, I tried to drive the anger out so I got into the car
Where the writing on the rear view sent me back to my guitar
It's said objects in the mirror are closer than they appear
And I don't want to look back when the road ahead is clear
(chorus)
Sometimes there are melodies that will not leave your brain
And sometimes there are memories that should not be unchained
But always there are choices, which ones to entertain
(musical interlude)




And I don't wanna, I don't wanna go back there again.
(chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "I Don't Wanna Work On This Song No More" by Ginger Wildheart present a raw and honest portrayal of the struggles and frustrations that can come with the creative process. The artist expresses a reluctance to continue working on a particular song, feeling drained and disheartened even before fully delving into it. The opening lines convey a sense of weariness and overwhelm, as the pressure to create something meaningful takes its toll on the songwriter's mental state.


As the lyrics progress, the artist brings in vivid imagery to illustrate the internal conflict at play. The metaphor of the Tanglewood guitar "getting pregnant with another song" symbolizes the constant flow of creative ideas and the struggle to give each one its due attention. The mention of brewing coffee and trying to "get positive" highlights the attempt to rejuvenate and find inspiration, only to be met with a flood of unsettling memories that threaten to derail the creative process.


The reference to driving a car and seeing reflections in the rearview mirror serves as a poignant metaphor for the artist's inner turmoil and the temptation to dwell on past struggles and regrets. Despite the clear path ahead, there is a fear of looking back and being consumed by what lies behind. This internal conflict between pushing forward and being held back by the weight of the past adds depth to the emotional journey portrayed in the song.


In the final verses, the artist reflects on the complexity of creativity and personal history, acknowledging the power of melodies that linger in the mind and memories that can be both haunting and invigorating. The lyrics suggest a contemplation of choices and the perpetual challenge of deciding which paths to follow, whether in music or in life. Ultimately, the song captures the cyclical nature of creative expression, with moments of frustration and self-doubt intertwined with flashes of inspiration and resilience.
