So Tired

Ozzy Osbourne's 'So Tired' is a poignant ballad that delves into the emotional turmoil of unrequited love and the weariness that comes with waiting for someone who may never fully commit. The lyrics express a deep sense of resignation and the pain of loving someone who is involved with another person. The protagonist of the song acknowledges that 'half a love' is not sufficient for them, highlighting the incompleteness and dissatisfaction of being in a relationship where the affection is not wholly reciprocated.

The chorus, 'I am so tired, and I just can't wait around for you,' encapsulates the exhaustion of being in emotional limbo. The repetition of this line throughout the song emphasizes the protagonist's growing impatience and the realization that their needs are not being met. Despite the initial hope that the relationship would endure ('And I always thought we'd see it through'), there is a shift towards acceptance that waiting for the other person is futile. The song's narrative is one of coming to terms with the harsh reality that promises of love may remain unfulfilled, and that sometimes, letting go is the only way forward.

The emotional weight of the song is further conveyed through the verses, where the protagonist reflects on the loneliness of staying true to someone who is not present and does not reciprocate the same level of commitment ('While you do what you wanted to do'). This highlights the imbalance in the relationship and the protagonist's struggle with the decision to stay loyal or to move on. Ozzy Osbourne's delivery of the lyrics adds to the song's melancholic atmosphere, making 'So Tired' a relatable anthem for those who have experienced the heartache of loving someone who cannot love them back fully.
