Caution
Navigating Despair: Celeste Arrazolo's Caution Chronicles a Lonely Road
Lyrics
Have just one more and then you’ve got to leave this bar. Last call was an hour ago. Miss, do
Desire to have one more drink before leaving the bar despite it being past closing time
you live very far?
Asking about the distance to the person's residence
I’m not going
Refusal to leave the bar or the current situation
I’m not leaving this bar or this place
Commitment to stay in the bar/place for seeking answers
I came here for answers
Coming to this place seeking answers due to past mistakes
made so many mistakes
Acknowledgment of numerous past mistakes
I’ve been down I’ve been low I’ve been high every chance that I get
Experiencing various emotional states - low, high, and everything in between
It’s been such a lonely road ain’t got no relief yet
Feeling lonely and not finding relief
Caution
Repeated emphasis on caution and danger ahead
Caution
-Caution
-Danger ahead
Signifying a warning of imminent danger
I’m the girl with the sad eyes don’t believe that we’ve met
Introduction as a person with sad eyes, indicating a sense of sadness
Caution
Reiteration of caution and danger, emphasizing the meeting despite the introduction
Caution
-Caution
-Danger ahead I’m the girl with the sad eyes don’t believe that we’ve met
-Religion has left me
Feeling abandoned by religion and God, experiencing shame and unworthiness
God forgot my name
-wouldn’t show at the gates today I’d be too ashamed
-warning label on my chest more pride than the rest (oooooh,oooh)
Describing oneself with a metaphorical warning label due to excessive pride
Don’t stay if you’re smart
Warning others to stay away due to being a mess and potentially harmful
you don’t want no parts
-that girl is a mess shell bring you down she’ll hurt you she lies to survive
-if ever there was a night to get lost in my glass
Encouraging losing oneself in drinking, implying difficulties that are hard to overcome
there’s somethings in life that you just can’t get past
-misery loves company time resurrects
Reflecting on the companionship of misery and feeling lost in the current moment
but I’m lost in this moment
-Cause I’m lost in this moment I’m so lost in this moment
-Lost, lost in this moment
Expressing being completely lost in the present situation
Caution
Repetition of caution and danger, reiterating the sadness and the warning despite repetition
Caution
-Caution
-Danger ahead
-I’m the girl with the sad eyes don’t believe that we’ve me
-Caution
-Caution
-Caution
-Danger ahead
-I’m the girl with the sad eyes don’t believe that we’ve met.
Repeating the introduction and expressing disbelief at the encounter despite previous statements
