“Is that what the inside of a clown shoe looks like? Droopy and hollow?!?!?”
Droopy and hollow. How I feel when I listen to Zach Bryan. Like a clown, just faking it, trying to look happy, but deep inside, I’m just hollow, droopy, and tired.
Not quite. My 22-year old daughter yelled that to me after I pulled my socks halfway off and I was “long-socking.” You know, you’re tired. It’s getting late, like 9 p.m. Music is playing, or a TV show is on that you want to finish, and your feet need to be freed from the shackles of their socks. But — and this is important!!!! — You don’t want your dog to steal your socks!
Long-socking. Halfway there. An epic sense of longing for something more, but a profound sense that you may not get there until you walk away.
Plastic Cigarette inspires an epic list of gray day blues for when you are long-socking.
