Straydog
Estranged Desolation: Bjørn Berge's 'Straydog' Lament
Lyrics
I take my coffe, just black
I savor my coffee, preferring it without any additives.
When I fall
During moments of failure.
when I'm sad
During times of sadness.
Always choose, just to lose
I consistently opt for choices that lead to losing.
When I call
When I make a call.
she doesn't back
She doesn't respond in return.
How do you make me feel so
Expressing puzzlement about how someone can evoke specific emotions.
How do you make me feel so bad
Questioning how someone can make the speaker feel so negatively.
I don't know where I should go
The speaker is uncertain about the direction they should take.
In the heat, I am cold..no
In moments of intensity, the speaker feels emotionally distant or cold.
Like fire in a cave
Comparing emotions to fire in a cave, possibly implying a conflicted or uncomfortable situation.
don't feel right
Feeling that something is not right.
Don't feel safe
Feeling a lack of safety.
No air to breathe
Experiencing a suffocating or restrictive environment with no air to breathe.
I can't go in
Unable to enter a situation or space.
Just can't leave
Feeling unable to depart or escape.
How do you make me feel so
Reiterating the confusion about how someone can elicit specific negative emotions.
How do you make me feel so bad
Repeating the inquiry about the impactful negativity induced by someone.
I don't know where I should go
Expressing uncertainty about the appropriate course of action.
In the heat, I am cold..no
In intense situations, the speaker feels emotionally distant or cold.
