RED HOUSE PAINTERS taken from "Volume Five"
"Uncle Joe"
-----------
Where have all the people gone in my life
I'm looking at the ceiling with an aweful feeling of loss and of loneliness
The after late night television pain, I'm running out of strength
I'm running, running, running out of strength
And it feels so wonderful
To swim in our fears
And divide inseparable
The awakening of life
Oh, Uncle Joe, could you tell me about what you know?
Of being having mental problems and their solutions, too
I'll give anything a try once
I'll try anything three times
I don't care, I don't care
I don't care, I don't care
But there's no company
That can stand to be with me
So my dependency on you grows
And I am not very well read
And consider I will lose my heart
And can you spare me of my pain
Can't you spare me of my tears?
Oh, Uncle Joe
Uncle Joe
Uncle Joe, Uncle Joe
And suicide's intentional
When I spin in your fear
I am over-influenced
By movies
And you should've gone
To the fear
To my hope
The darkest hope
Did you know?
Lies become the sky
That's all gone
To the fear
To my hope
The darkest hope
Do you know?
Lies become the sky

What is the meaning behind Uncle Joe lyrics?
When we look beyond the surface of the words, the ballad 'Uncle Joe' from the Red House Painters covers the topics of death, sadness, and mental health issues. The words show a person who feels very much alone but still looking for others’ presence to be and feeling safe. At the same time the potential consequences of such an external world are portrayed through fear, doubt, and unintentional acts. Uncle Joe lyrics mainly concentrate on despair, angst, solitude, heartbreak, and self-examination. However, the song at the same time points out the importance of loneliness and isolation, mental health issues, dependence and the quest for meaning. The lyrics have theme elements of mental health issues, loneliness, and dependence which are considered not appropriate for kids below 13 years of age. The reference to 'mental problems' and the accompanying feelings of loss and pain indicate a certain emotional depth that should be handled with care and is thus advisable for parental supervision during listening. ✔️
