Dragging Your Feet in the Mud
Lydia Lyrics

You're dragging your feet in the mud
You are moving very slowly and without purpose.

So your shoes are stained with blood
Your actions have caused harm or difficulty for yourself.

I wonder, when will she get here?
I am uncertain when a specific person or thing will arrive.

One by one they will fall
People or things will fail or come to an end over time.

But you grind your teeth 'til they're raw
You are dealing with this difficulty with intense emotion or frustration.

I wonder, does it get any better?
I am questioning if a situation will improve or remain difficult.

We'll be up in the desert
We will be in an isolated and difficult environment.

Wearing these proud new sunburns
We will have endured challenges and will display them with pride.

We're on our own time now
We are free to manage our own schedules and lives.

Don't you ever look back down
Do not allow past difficulties to control or hinder you.

She's nowhere to be found
I cannot locate a specific person or thing.

I'm pulling my hair out my scalp
I am experiencing extreme frustration or stress.

When I realize
I come to understand something.

Who would've thought I
It is surprising to me that I

Sing one song for this girl
I express myself through a song directed toward a specific person.

Wherever she is in this world
She is located somewhere in the world, but I am unsure where.

Hopes you'll realize, now or the next life
I hope this person realizes something important, either now or in the future.

Yeah don't ever say you have it
Do not claim to possess or understand something completely.

Thinking like that can be tragic
Having that mindset can lead to a negative outcome.

So let me take it from the start
Allow me to explain everything from the beginning.

And how you fell apart
How a situation or person became broken or unmanageable.

Yeah how it all went from perfect
A situation or person was once ideal but changed drastically.

To throw it all in, let's burn it
Completely give up and destroy everything involved.

So take what you need
Only keep what is necessary or valuable to you.

I'm going back to those palm trees
I am returning to a specific location or memory.

Yeah I guess I finally feel like I deserved it
I now believe I have earned or deserve something positive.

And I gotta make a point, no I gotta make it worth it
I must make a significant impact or investment in something.

Cause if it happened, it happened, you know
What has occurred in the past cannot be changed.

You can't change that, that shit'll eat you alive
Trying to control or manipulate the past will harm you emotionally or mentally.

Gotta let it go, man
You must release the past and move forward.

Don't you dare, don't you dare
Absolutely do not do something.
