Zzyzx Rd.
Stone Sour Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's taken me so long to do this
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight
My muscles feel like a melee
My body's curled in a U-shape
I put on my best but I'm still afraid
Propped up by lies and promises
Maybe it's time I saw the world
I'm only here for a while
But patience is not my style
And I'm so tired that I gotta go
What am I supposed to hide now?
What am I suppose to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through
Tell me I should stick around for you
Tell me I could have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
I get to go home in one week
But I'm leaving home in three weeks
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry
I'm following suit and directions
I crawl up inside for protection
I'm told what to do and I don't know why
I'm over existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away
I'm ready to live with my family
I'm ready to die in obscurity
'Cause I'm so tired that I gotta go
Oh, where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm going see this through
Tell me I'm a part of history
Tell me I can have it all
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
Oh yeah
Oh yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Still too tired to care and I gotta go
Still too tired to care and I gotta go
Still too tired to care and I gotta go
Yeah, yeah
Go home
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no, no
No, no
The song Zzyzx Rd. by Stone Sour is a complex reflection on the struggles of existence and the desire to escape the mundane routines of life. The singer expresses a deep sense of weariness and detachment, describing his body as curled up in a U-shape, his muscles feeling like a melee. He is propped up by lies and promises and feels that he is merely existing in limbo. The singer expresses a desire to leave everything behind, to become anonymous and insignificant and to fade away. He is ready to die in obscurity and is too tired to care anymore.
The repeated refrain of "Tell me I can have it all" addresses the pressure placed on us by society to achieve greatness and the ultimate goal of success. The singer is too tired to care about success and wants to be released from these expectations. The song suggests that sometimes, we need to break away from what is expected of us and find our own way, even if it means fading away.
Overall, Zzyzx Rd. is a poignant critique of the pressures and demands of modern society, and an appeal for a simpler, quieter life outside its boundaries.

I don't know how else to put this
I am at a loss for words
It's taken me so long to do this
I've been procrastinating
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight
I'm exhausted
My muscles feel like a melee
My body is sore and aching
My body's curled in a U-shape
My body is contorted in pain
I put on my best but I'm still afraid
I'm trying my hardest but still scared
Propped up by lies and promises
I am fooled by empty words
Saving my place as life forgets
I'm stuck in a rut
Maybe it's time I saw the world
I want to explore and see new things
I'm only here for a while
Life is fleeting
But patience is not my style
I am impatient
And I'm so tired that I gotta go
I'm exhausted and need to leave
What am I supposed to hide now?
What am I meant to conceal?
What am I supposed to do?
What am I supposed to accomplish?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through
I am determined to see this to the end
Tell me I should stick around for you
Give me a reason to stay
Tell me I could have it all
Promise me everything
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
I'm too exhausted to give this attention
I get to go home in one week
I'm almost free
But I'm leaving home in three weeks
I will be leaving soon
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry
I am being used
I'm following suit and directions
I'm following orders
I crawl up inside for protection
I'm hiding
I'm told what to do and I don't know why
I'm blindly following directions
I'm over existing in limbo
I'm done with being stuck in one place
I'm over the myths and placebos
I'm done with false beliefs and empty promises
I don't really mind if I just fade away
I don't care if I disappear
I'm ready to live with my family
I want to be with my loved ones
I'm ready to die in obscurity
I'm okay with living an ordinary life
'Cause I'm so tired that I gotta go
Because I'm exhausted and need to leave
You still don't think I'm going see this through
I'm determined to prove you wrong
Tell me I'm a part of history
Tell me I'll be remembered
Tell me I can have it all
Promise me everything
I'm still too tired to care and I gotta go
I'm too exhausted to give this attention
Still too tired to care and I gotta go
I'm still too exhausted and need to leave
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Amazing song, with amazing lyrics..
I don't know how else to put this.
It's taken me so long to do this.
I'm falling asleep and I can't see straight.
My muscles feel like a melee,
My body's curled in a U-shape.
I put on my best, but I'm still afraid.
Propped up by lies and promises.
Saving my place as life forgets.
Maybe it's time I saw the world.
I'm only here for a while.
And patience is not my style,
And I'm so tired that I got to go.
What am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
Did you really think I wouldn't see this through?
Tell me I should stick around for you.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.
I get to go home in one week.
But I'm leaving home in three weeks.
They throw me a bone just to pick me dry.
I'm following suit and directions.
I crawl up inside for protection.
I'm told what to do and I don't know why.
I'm over existing in limbo
I'm over the myths and placebos
I don't really mind if I just fade away
I'm ready to live with my family.
I'm ready to die in obscurity
Cause I'm so tired that I got to go.
Where am I supposed to hide now?
What am I supposed to do?
You still don't think I'm gonna see this through?
Tell me I'm a part of history.
Tell me I can have it all.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go.
I'm still too tired to care and I got to go. (6x)

My brother (also called Corey) chose this song for his funeral. He passed away from cancer in February 2019 at 26 years old, 7 months after diagnosis. He said this song was exactly how he felt in his last months. This song hits hard every time I hear it 🖤 RIP bruv. 1992-2019

Dammit I'm so sorry. I lost my mom 12/26/18 from cancer, also. However, I wasn't able to play my kind of music at her funeral - which sucked. Keep pushing forward, & take your brother with you. My thoughts & prayers go out to you, especially during the shitty 1st year. Take care. ❤
