Lyrics
I'm walkin down another
Walking down another street that's cold and dark
cold dark street
Describing the environment as chilly and gloomy
I'm waiting
Waiting for the dawn, likely metaphorical for a new beginning or hope
For dawn
Anticipating a new day to start
Another coffee shop
Referencing a coffee shop, possibly a place of solace or comfort
an empty face
Encountering people with vacant or expressionless faces
Keep me warm until dawn
Seeking warmth and companionship until dawn arrives
The heat from sewer grates warm my bed
Using the heat emitted from sewer grates to keep warm while sleeping on the streets
the snow ain't cold anymore
Feeling the snow is no longer cold, possibly indicating a sense of numbness or adaptation to hardship
My feet are so wet
Feet are wet due to holes in the shoes, reflecting the harsh living conditions
From the holes in my shoes
Referring to the shoes that were worn when leaving a relationship or place
the shoes that walked out your door
Indicating indifference or detachment despite difficult circumstances
But I don't care
Resisting being pushed away by someone or something
don't push me away
Declaring immunity to being hurt anymore
You can't hurt me anymore
Reaffirming the inability to be hurt anymore
Not anymore
Reiterating the resolve not to be hurt anymore
I'll sing you hymns
Willing to sing hymns in exchange for basic needs like a cup of soup
for a cup of soup
Expressing extreme hunger, willing to do anything for sustenance
so hungry
Emphasizing the desperation caused by hunger
I don't care
Maintaining indifference despite challenging circumstances
How ?bout let me lay down for a little while
Asking for a chance to rest in a warm and dry place
In a warm dry place
Desiring a temporary respite from the harsh conditions
Gimme a quarter
Requesting money, possibly for entertainment or escapism
For the movies all night
Expressing the need to stay awake, possibly fearing something while sleeping
I gotta stay awake
Fearing sleep due to unknown dangers or vulnerabilities
I'm afraid of sleeping
Feeling extremely cold and in danger of freezing
And I'm freezing to death
Struggling to stay awake despite the fear of sleeping
I gotta keep me awake
Emphasizing the determination to remain awake despite the challenges
But I don't care
Reiterating indifference to being pushed away
don't push me away
Asserting the invulnerability to be hurt anymore
You can't hurt me anymore
Stating the continued resolve not to be hurt anymore
Not anymore
Reaffirming the lack of susceptibility to being hurt
