Cold Turkey
Breaking Free: Enuff Z'nuff's Cold Turkey Unveils the Struggle Within
Lyrics
The temperature's rising
The intensity or pressure is increasing.
The fever is high
A metaphor for a high level of emotional turmoil or distress.
Can't see no future
A sense of uncertainty and lack of foresight for the future.
Can't see no sky My feet are so heavy
The speaker feels weighed down, physically and emotionally.
And so is my head
Continuation of the feeling of heaviness in both body and mind.
I wish I was a baby
An expression of longing for simplicity or escape from challenges.
I wish I was dead Cold turkey has got me on the run
The speaker is struggling with the effects of abrupt withdrawal, using "cold turkey" metaphorically.
Cold turkey has got me on the run My body is aching
Reiteration of the impact of sudden withdrawal, emphasizing the urge to escape.
Goose pimple bone
The body is experiencing discomfort and chills.
I can't see nobody
The speaker feels isolated and unable to connect with others.
Leave me alone My eyes are wide open
The speaker desires solitude and expresses a need to be left alone.
I can't go to sleep
Insomnia or restlessness prevents the speaker from sleeping.
One thing I'm sure of
The certainty of being in a difficult or challenging situation.
I'm in at the deep freeze Cold turkey has got me on the run
Reiteration of the struggles faced due to abrupt withdrawal.
Cold turkey has got me on the run Thirty six hours
Highlighting the duration of the painful experience.
Rolling in pain
Intense physical pain endured for an extended period.
Praying to someone
Desperation and pleading for relief from the suffering.
Free me again I'll be a good boy
A plea for redemption or relief, promising to behave better.
Please make me well
Requesting healing and expressing a willingness to change.
I promise you anything
A desperate promise to do anything to escape the current anguish.
Out of this hell Cold turkey has got me on the run
Repetition of the idea that sudden withdrawal is causing distress.
Cold turkey has got me on the run Cold turkey has got me on the run
Reiteration of the urgency to escape the difficulties.
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Emphasis on the continued struggle and desire for relief.
