Open the door is a song about an alcoholic whose wife always locks him out of the house whenever he returns home drunk. He garners an audience most of the time, and is always begging to get into his own home.
Gutted Soul is a song about being homeless. A non existence that one really has to live before they can understand the magnitude of being invisible, while still breathing the same air as those who continue to ignore them.
Between a rock and a hard place is a song about being born into already bad situations. Daddy was a con and Ma was working girl. What did you think was going to happen. Some times there's just no way out and we play the hand we're dealt. Sometimes we win, most times we lose.
Melody is a love affair, pure and simple. Man loves girl and describes her as the music of his life. She is his whole world and he hopes the music she brings will play on forever.
The fool I am is a song about a broken relationship. It's an on and off romance where one side is always leaving for greener pastures, but when the weeds begin to show they always run back and are accepted without question. Love can make you do strange things, but true love, even if one sided can last forever.
