January
Eternal Chill: Black Label Society's January Unveiled
Lyrics
The cold that burns
The intense cold that stings or hurts.
The tide that drift away
The ebb and flow of time that gradually moves away.
No more talks about tomorrow
A decision to avoid discussions about the future.
The past is gone and all that was today
The past is gone, and only the present matters.
I can't forget the cold
A persistent memory of a chilling day in January.
That fell January day
Recalling the cold of a specific January day.
Seasons change for the rain washed away
Change in seasons, symbolized by rain washing away past experiences.
All the smiles and the tears
Reflection on the passage of time, encompassing both joy and sorrow.
What's in between and all one's hopes and fears
The entirety of life's experiences, including hopes and fears.
I feel that January's cold shall never disappear
An enduring sense that the cold of January will never fade.
Empty sky the bitterness unfolds
A sky devoid of significance, revealing the unfolding bitterness.
Its hard to hold a memory
The difficulty of preserving memories when there's nothing tangible to grasp.
When there's nothing left to hold
An emphasis on persistent rain and its impact on emotions.
Rain rain rain
Repeated emphasis on rain as a metaphor for emotional hardship.
The desert kills what's left inside
The harsh environment erodes what remains within.
Its hard to live when all you wanna do is die
The struggle to find meaning in life when the desire is to end it.
The book is done
A metaphorical conclusion, indicating the end of a chapter or phase.
No more pages left to turn
No more opportunities to experience new things.
No more letters left to write
No more communication or expression through writing.
Nothing's left for whom it may concern
Nothing remaining for those who may be affected or interested.
January's cold shall forever live on
The lasting and enduring impact of January's cold.
January's cold shall forever live on
An affirmation that the cold of January will persist indefinitely.
