He rose to prominence during the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Black Sabbath, during which period he adopted the nickname "Prince of Darkness". Born and raised in Birmingham, Osbourne became a founding member of Black Sabbath in 1967, and sang on every album from their debut in 1970 to Never Say Die! in 1978. The band was highly influential on the development of heavy metal music, in particular their critically acclaimed releases Paranoid, Master of Reality and Sabbath Bloody Sabbath. Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to alcohol and drug problems, but went on to have a successful solo career, releasing 13 studio albums, the first seven of which received multi-platinum certifications in the US. Osbourne has since reunited with Black Sabbath on several occasions. He rejoined in 1997 and helped record the group's final studio album, 13 (2013), before they embarked on a farewell tour that ended with a February 2017 performance in their hometown, Birmingham. His longevity and success have earned him the informal title "Godfather of Metal".

Osbourne's total album sales from his years in Black Sabbath, combined with his solo work, are over 100 million. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of Black Sabbath and into the UK Music Hall of Fame as a solo artist and as a member of the band. He has been honoured with stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Birmingham Walk of Stars. At the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards, he received the Global Icon Award. In 2015, Osbourne received the Ivor Novello Award for Lifetime Achievement from the British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Authors.

In the early 2000s, Osbourne became a reality television star, appearing as himself in the MTV reality show The Osbournes alongside wife and manager Sharon and two of their three children, Kelly and Jack. He co-stars with Jack and Kelly in the television series Ozzy & Jack's World Detour. The show's third season debuted in June 2018.

So Tired
Ozzy Osbourne Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time has come to say goodbye
I know it's gonna make you cry
But you belong to another my love
And half a love that just isn't enough

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you
I am so tried

And I always thought we would see it through

I've waited all this time for you
Believed your promises were true
I keep believing that you mean what you say
You'll leave tomorrow - now tomorrow's today

And I often sit and wonder why
You're not with me tonight
I stayed at home remaining true
While you were out with you know who

I am so tired
And I just can't wait around for you

I am so tried
And I always thought we would see it through

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Ozzy Osbourne's song "So Tired" discuss the end of a relationship from the perspective of the person who is leaving. The lyrics express an understanding that this decision will hurt the other person and acknowledges that they will likely cry. However, the person singing the song knows that their love interest belongs to someone else and that the love they have for them is not enough to sustain a relationship. They are tired of waiting around for something that they know will not work out.

The lyrics suggest that the singer has been waiting for some time, believing that their love interest's promises were true. They have continuously held onto the hope that their love interest meant what they said about leaving their current relationship, but each day that passes, this promise becomes less and less likely. The singer talks about sitting and wondering why their love interest is not with them, even though they have been faithful while the love interest continues to see someone else.

Overall, the lyrics in "So Tired" describe the emotional turmoil that comes with the end of a relationship that was once believed to be a forever thing. The melancholic tone of the song mixed with the somber chorus, "I am so tired, and I just can't wait around for you," perfectly captures the feelings of sadness and resignation that come with giving up on a love that was once hoped to work out.
