Hourglass

This is the light at the end of the tunnel. Looking for something or someone to make him happy, Deacon just wants a girl. It seems like Deacon is just asking for a girl/weed (double meaning is possible). Hourglass is the beginning of the rest of the album. The hourglass is symbolic to something that runs over time…kind of like him being “high” and the mother in the story.

Lyrics:
“Behind my eyes to take something unfortunate and show them they’re a fortune in my life”- Asking to see this bright light which is found in the end. “Clock something that’ll learn who I am”
End of Hourglass- “Stay strong and fight life, like Sudan Kings/ pray to make cents for giving/ and make sense outta living/ lord give me patience to gain wisdom”- What Deacon is asking for.
