Temper Down
Chasing Peace: Cold Irons Bound's Journey Through the Cold
Lyrics
I was way up North, when the news tracked me down
I was in a northern location when I received the news
In a perfect kind of nowhere
Describing a remote and isolated place where the speaker felt secure
where I thought I'd never be found
Expressing surprise at being discovered in this seemingly hidden place
It said the place we'd built,
Referring to a constructed space that met an unfortunate end
the whole thing went up in smoke
Describing a significant failure or loss
That big city life, all it ever did was make us choke
Criticizing the negative impact of urban life
Its cold outside but the heats on in the house now
Contrasting the cold weather outside with warmth inside the house
As we settle in to hibernate for the year
Preparing for a period of inactivity or seclusion
Its the same old fight most every night in this cold little town
Describing a recurring conflict in a small town
So I take off just to cool my temper down
Expressing a need to leave temporarily to calm emotions
Then I woke up, with my head not thinking clear
Awakening with a clouded mind
But my minds made up, sure has been a long, long year
Having a determined mindset after a challenging year
Gonna skip this town, open up some brand new door
Deciding to leave the current town and explore new opportunities
Leave my woes behind, rolling on the factory floor
Leaving behind troubles and starting fresh
Its cold outside so come on in the house now
Inviting someone inside to escape the cold
As we settle in to hibernate for the year
Preparing for hibernation, possibly metaphorical for a period of rest
Drink and fight most every night,
Describing a pattern of drinking and fighting in the town
grinding bones to the ground
Emphasizing the harshness of life in the town
So I take off just to cool my temper down
Reiterating the need to leave temporarily to calm emotions
So I take off just to cool my temper down
Repeating the decision to leave and cool down
So the place we built the whole thing just went up in smoke
Recalling the destruction of a place that was built
That big city life, all it did was make us choke
Reiterating the negative impact of urban life on well-being
Its cold outside but the heats on in the house now
Contrasting cold weather with warmth inside the house
As we settle in to hibernate for the year
Preparing for a period of inactivity or seclusion
Its the same old fight most every night in this cold little town
Describing a recurring conflict in the cold town
And I take off just to cool my temper down
Reiterating the decision to leave temporarily to cool down
So I take off just to cool my temper down
Repeating the resolution to leave and calm one's temper
