Shipwrecked Mind - Pocket Full of Nothing
And a head full of dreams
And a passionate heart and two left feet
Clap to the rhythm just a little off beat
And though I’ve tried to play it straight
It just couldn’t be me
Sucking on cigarettes like candy canes
Turning off Broad onto West Main
I gotta catch the light to make the train
But I Can’t see past the pouring rain
Oh Hail Mary, goin’ anyway
Where ya goin? Goin’ crazy
But i might just go insane
Oh my
I got a pocket full of nothing
And a head full of dreams
And a passionate heart and two left feet
Clap to the rhythm just a little off beat
And though I’ve tried to play it straight
It just couldn’t be me
Head on the door
Feet to the floor
Starin’ at the carpеt
‘Til I can’t no more
Life rolls by on the country sidе
Babe we’re in for a hell of a ride
14 hours left to go
But at least I’m finally on the road
I got a pocket full of nothing and a head full of dreams
And a passionate heart and two left feet
Clap to the rhythm just a little off beat
And though I’ve tried to play it straight
It just couldn’t be me
Though the sun will rise again another time
That first sunset will always fill my mind
When we rolled in to paradise
I could hardly wait to roll the dice
Drink my weight of rye on ice
Turn my bite into a slice of the pie
I got a pocket full of nothing and a head full of dreams
And a passionate heart and two left feet
Clap to the rhythm just a little off beat
And though I’ve tried to play it straight
It just couldn’t be me
Lots of folks there sniffin’ keys
Under tables on their knees
Rollin dice well past midnight
Underneath the neon lights
How I wish I could make this my life
I got a pocket full of nothing and a head full of dreams
And a passionate heart and two left feet
Clap to the rhythm just a little off beat
And though I’ve tried to play it straight
It just couldn’t be me
Song Description:
edit soundcloudThe song describes a journey filled with uncertainty, taking risks and making choices that may lead to madness or even insanity. With vivid imagery of sucking on cigarettes like candy canes, catching trains in pouring rain, and staring at the carpet until there's no more to see, the lyrics evoke a sense of restlessness and longing for something more.
The protagonist reflects on past experiences, like rolling into paradise and indulging in rye on ice, but ultimately acknowledges that their path is unique and cannot be confined to societal norms. The song ends with a sense of acceptance and a longing for a life filled with passion, dreams, and a rhythm that is uniquely their own.
