Solitary Man
Navigating Love's Minefield: Solitary Man by Death Valley Dreams
Lyrics
Lost
Expressing a feeling of being lost.
Lost before we even began
Feeling lost even before starting something.
And now I never want to see it again
Expressing a desire to avoid experiencing it again.
This is not the first time
Suggesting a repetition of a similar experience.
This is not the last time
Indicating that this won't be the final occurrence.
Run, run, run with me
Invitation to run together, possibly escaping from problems.
This is not your first time
Implying a recurring situation.
Love is just a landmine
Love is compared to a dangerous explosive.
Arms spread out
Symbolizing openness or vulnerability.
Forget about it
Suggesting to let go of concerns.
I’m a solitary man
Self-identification as a solitary man.
I couldn’t take in anymore
Expressing emotional overload or inability to cope.
Solitary man
Reiteration of being a solitary man.
Stars farther then the eye can see
Metaphorical description of vastness and distance.
Eyes deeper than the deepest sea
Emphasizing profound emotional depth.
This is not the first time
Reiteration of a recurring experience.
This is not the last time
Suggesting the cyclical nature of the experience.
Run, run, run with me
Repeating the invitation to run together.
This is not your first time
Reaffirming the repetitive nature of the situation.
Love is just a landmine
Love is again likened to a dangerous explosive.
Arms spread out
Symbolizing vulnerability or surrender.
Forget about it
Encouraging to let go and not dwell on it.
I’m a solitary man
Reiteration of being a solitary man.
I couldn’t take in anymore
Expressing emotional saturation or overload.
Solitary man
Reiteration of being a solitary man.
Here in the dark with eyes wide open
Describing a state of being in the dark with open eyes.
Forget who we are and feel
Encouraging to forget identity and focus on feeling.
Feel
Emphasizing the importance of emotional experience.
I couldn’t take in anymore
Expressing emotional saturation or overload.
Solitary man
Final reiteration of being a solitary man.
