[QUOTE="Vanellus, post: 77188316, member: 358349"] The beast in me Is caged by frail and fragile bars Restless by day And by night rants and rages at the stars God help the beast in me The beast in me Has to learn to live with pain And how to shelter from the rain And in the twinkling of an eye Might have to be restrained God help the beast in me Sometimes it tries to kid me That it’s a teddy bear And even somehow manage to vanish in the air And that is when I must beware Of the beast in me that everybody knows They’ve seen him dressed in my clothes Patently unclear [B]If it’s New York or New Year[/B] God help the beast in me The beast in me [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8tGCVavS5s']The Beast in Me[/URL] I've read that this was written by Cash's son in law and it is about Cash's drug addiction. But doesn't it go deeper and wider? I've been trying to find more about the highlighted line. Does "New Year" mean riotous parties or a new resolution to come off drugs? And what does "New York" mean here - or is it simply a rhyming mcguffin? [/QUOTE]
