Cumbersome -- Seven Mary Three
F# E
She calls me Goliath and I wear the David mask
B F#
I guess the stones are coming too fast for her now
F# E
You know I'd like to believe this nervousness will pass
B F#
All the stones that are thrown are building up a wall
F# A E F#
I have become cumbersome to this world
F# A E F#
I have become cumbersome to my girl
I'd like to believe we could reconcile the past
Resurrect those bridges with an ancient glance
But my old stone face can't seem to break her down
She remembers bridges & burns them to the ground
I have become cumbersome to this world
I have become cumbersome to my girl
F# A
Too heavy, too light, too black or too white, too wrong or too right
E F#
Today or tonight...cumbersome
F# A
Too rich or too poor, she's wanting me less and I'm wanting her more
E F#
The bitter taste is cumbersome, no, yeah
A A F# E E F#
No, no, no...
A A F# E E F#
No, no, no, yeah
(instr.) F# E B F#
F# E B
There is a balance between two worlds
F#
One with an arrow and a cross
F# E
Regardless of the balance
B F#
Life has become cumbersome
Too heavy, too light...
A A F# E F#
Nah, nah, No, no...yeah-heah
A F# E F#
Your life has become cumbersome

| I think that he is trying to quit smoking, but the urge is still there. He refers to the cigs or the weed as her. Awesome song though | |

| To me this song has lots of meaning because this was the first song by 7Mary3 that my boyfriend ever played for me. So I love them. | |

| I don't think that he's speaking so much of balance in terms of social equality, but more in terms of "a stalemate". He describes men and women as "two worlds". I think this is hearkening back to the metaphor of Mars and Venus, and being unable to understand each other. Additionally, he's talking about wanting her more even as she wants him less, which seems to me a very puerile (but common) thing that people do: they abuse or take for granted what they have and only begin to truly desire it once it is taken away from them. Overall, he is losing the affections of his mate and doesn't understand her enough to get them back. It sucks, but he probably painted himself into that corner. I don't see anything relating to weight gain, but I suppose that everyone interprets lyrics differently. | |
