I'm trying to come up with songs that are about some sad and depressed drunks, or really just people who are at a standstill in their lives. So far I've come up with:
Warren Zevon - Desperados Under the Eaves
The Eagles - Hotel California
Any more in that vain?

Another Warren Zevon song is Carmelita.
There's also a pretty good cover by GG Allin.
This whole album

Also am I the only one who thinks that this song is about a standstill in life?
Michael Gira - You See Through Me; Blind
Swans - God Damn the Sun; Alcohol the Seed; Failure; No Cure For the Lonely
There are also probably some Angels of Light songs I'm not thinking of.

Are you sure? I can't think of a single song from tom waits that is specifically about what OP said. I'm not a huge fan though so I'm ready and eager to be proven wrong
