Ever felt like you have everything yet still feel adrift? This song beautifully captures that paradox. The singer reflects on having all they wished for, but feeling mostly lost at sea. Despite not being hurt or broken, there's an underlying ache—a sense of something missing. The "slack jaw" symbolizes a state of awe or confusion in the face of life's complexities. Walking the dog back serves as a metaphor for revisiting past decisions and emotions. Ultimately, it's about holding onto feelings, even when they're hard to understand. #ExistentialReflection #InnerTurmoil #LifeParadoxes
Slack Jaw
Lyrics
I got all the parts I wished for
I've got everything I need
Sometimes I'm above water
But mostly I'm at sea
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walking the dog back
It's not like I got hurt or broken
Or ruined on the way
It's an ache and it shines through me
A swallow in a cage
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walking the dog back
Is it a sign? Or just a landmine?
Or a feeling roaming free?
It's overtaken me
Gonna hold it 'til it dries up
Or pocket it for another day
If it's me I cannot give up
I'd rather that she stayed
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walking the dog back
I got all the parts I've wished for
I got everything I need
Sometimes I'm above water
But mostly I'm at sea
Oh, slack jawed me
Can't you see?
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
And I'm walking the dog back
