Company Man
Navigating Love's Canvas: Unveiling the Artistic Depths in Diane Coffee's 'Company Man'
Lyrics
Love isn't a word, but a kind of art
Love is not just a word but a form of art.
Critics will pick till it falls apart
Critics will continuously analyze and criticize until it collapses.
I can't believe i swallowed your lie
Expressing disbelief in a deceptive statement.
It made me sick inside
The lie caused internal distress and discomfort.
Oh I, am a company man
Identifying oneself as a company man, possibly referring to a conformist or someone committed to a particular system or ideology.
Oh I, am a company man
Reiteration of being a company man.
But I'll keep coming home
Despite being a company man, the person returns home consistently.
Cause I can't sleep alone
Unable to tolerate solitude, hence the reluctance to sleep alone.
And we'll walk down by two in the end
Suggesting a shared experience or journey with another person.
And in the end
Repetition of the idea of shared experiences and an uncertain future ("in the end").
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Repetition, possibly emphasizing a particular sentiment or emotion.
Love isn't a word, but a kind of art
Reiteration of the idea that love is an art form.
Critics will pick till it falls apart
Reiteration of the critical nature of people who dissect love.
And I can't believe you
Expressing disbelief in someone (possibly the same person mentioned in line 3).
It's better to work than to live alone
Suggesting that it's preferable to work than to live in isolation.
And, honestly i swallowed my pride
Admission of swallowing one's pride for the sake of something (context unclear).
And it made me sick inside
Similar to line 4, the act of swallowing pride causing internal turmoil.
No, I, I am a company man
Reiteration of being a company man.
Oh, I am a company man
Reiteration of identifying as a company man.
But I'll keep coming home
Despite being a company man, the person continues to return home.
Because I can't sleep alone
Reiteration of discomfort with sleeping alone.
And we'll walk down by two in the end
Repetition of the idea of shared experiences and an uncertain future ("in the end").
