“Obscurity Knocks” By Trashcan Sinatras Written by Paul Livingston INTRO - Amaj7 Bm7 (x2) Always at the foot of the photograph that’s me there snug as a thug in a Mugshot pose a foul-mouthed rogue owner of his corner and not much more Still these days I’m better placed to get my just rewards I’ll pound out a tune and very soon I’ll have too much to say and a dead stupid name And though i ought to be learning i feel like a veteran Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems" Calendars crumble I’m knee deep in numbers I’ve turned 21 I’ve twist I’m bust and wrong again Rubbing shoulders with the sheets till two looking at my watch and I’m half-past caring In the lap of luxury it comes to mind is this headboard hard? am i a lap behind? But to face doom in a sock-stenched room all by myself Is the kind of fate i never contemplate lots of people would cry though none spring to mind And though i ought to be learning i feel like a veteran Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems" Calendars crumble I’m knee deep in numbers I’ve turned 21 I’ve twist I’m bust and wrong again Know what it’s like to sigh at the sight of the first quarter of life? Em9 A6sus Ever stopped to think and found out nothing was there? SOLO - (x3) They laugh to see such fun I’m playing blind man’s bluff all by myself And they’re chanting a line from a nursery rhyme "ba ba bleary eyes - have you any idea?" Years of learning i must be a veteran Of "oh i like your poetry but I hate your poems" And the calendar’s cluttered with days that are numbered I’ve turned 21 I’ve twist I’m bust and wrong again... (Repeats)

La chanson évoque une introspection sur la vie d’un jeune adulte, partagé entre des rêves et des réalités déconcertantes. L’auteur se décrit comme un homme en quête de reconnaissance, oscillant entre succès et échecs, tout en se sentant souvent perdu dans un monde rempli de promesses déchues. Il souligne le décalage entre ses aspirations artistiques et l’indifférence qu’il subit, révélant ainsi une légère amertume face à son parcours. Le contexte semble refléter les angoisses de la jeunesse et les questionnements qui l’accompagnent, notamment la pression du temps qui passe et la difficulté à trouver sa place. Il s’agit d’un regard sincère sur les doutes et les désillusions de cette période charnière de la vie, marquée par des ressentis contradictoires.
