Eskimo lyrics
Tiredness fuels empty thoughts
I find myself disposed
Brightness fills empty space
In search of inspiration
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down.
Rain it wets muddy roads
I find myself exposed
Tapping doors, but irritate
In search of destination
Harder now with higher speed
Washing in on top of me
So I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
I look to my eskimo friend
When I'm down, down, down.
When I'm down, down, down.
When I'm down, down, down.

I think this song is about Damien's life when he was younger. "Tiredness fuels emtpy thoughts" and the line about muddy roads clearly means that he was discouraged about what was going on in his life. He is "tapping on doors" and "in search of destination" and "inspiration" becuase he was looking for meaning and purpose in his life. He created a better life for himself in his mind, which included his "eskimo friend," a figment of his imagination. He could go to this place in his head when he was "down, down, down."Rating:
