Discover the story of the song > Thorn In My Pride – The Black Crowes

The protagonist is looking for someone to wake him up when the day starts and show him the good things in life, but he's also asking about their struggles and if they have ever considered hurting him. He also wonders if they will inspire him or just tell him things that will never happen. The protagonist feels like he has both good and bad influences in his life, like angels and devils, and they are a difficult challenge for him, like a thorn in his pride. He asks his partner to cover him with good dreams and let their love light shine.
