Snows of Kilimanjaro
Echoes of Transformation: Navigating Love and Cynicism
Lyrics
I keep biting my lip
I'm experiencing anxiety or nervousness, symbolized by biting my lip.
Forming an abrasion
The anxiety is manifesting physically, causing damage or harm, like an abrasion.
This economy's shit
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of the economy.
Let's just blame inflation
Suggesting a tendency to blame inflation for economic issues.
Please don't kiss me it's nothing personal
Asking not to be kissed, possibly due to personal reasons, highlighted by a canker sore.
Baby I've still got a canker sore
Revealing the presence of a canker sore, indicating emotional or physical discomfort.
I had this cynicism before I met you
Indicating pre-existing cynicism before entering the relationship.
It still reappears from time to time
Cynicism still resurfaces occasionally despite the positive impact of the relationship.
You've made me more gentle and more patient
Acknowledging the partner's positive influence in making the person more gentle and patient.
But on my death bed will it be The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Raising a contemplative question about the significance of the Snows of Kilimanjaro on one's deathbed.
This isn't a transaction
Clarifying that the relationship is not a transactional exchange.
And you're not the first to tell me
Addressing that others have also expressed similar sentiments.
Can't you see by my reaction
Reacting emotionally to the partner's words, exposing insecurities.
That you've raised some insecurities
Confirming that the partner's actions have triggered feelings of insecurity.
Yeah you should know I wanna grow with you
Expressing a desire for personal growth within the relationship.
Hope I can make it out of this cocoon
Hoping to emerge transformed like a butterfly from a cocoon.
I had this cynicism before I met you
Reiterating the persistence of pre-existing cynicism despite the positive aspects of the relationship.
It still reappears from time to time
Acknowledging the intermittent recurrence of cynicism.
You've made me more gentle and more patient
Recognizing the positive impact on character development by the partner.
But on my death bed will it be The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Pondering if, at the end of life, thoughts will be consumed by the metaphorical Snows of Kilimanjaro.
No undertaking the bourgeoisie for me
Rejecting involvement with the bourgeoisie, expressing a desire for genuine connections.
I yearn for love pure as sasquatch sightings
Desiring a pure and rare form of love, likened to sasquatch sightings.
The last man I want to be is Harry
Expressing a reluctance to adopt certain qualities or identities, like Harry's.
Just stay with me so I can keep on writing
Pleading for companionship to maintain inspiration for creative pursuits, particularly writing.
I had this cynicism before I met you
Reaffirming the presence of pre-existing cynicism despite positive changes due to the relationship.
It still reappears from time to time
Noting the periodic recurrence of cynicism.
You've made me more gentle and more patient
Acknowledging the positive impact of the partner on personal qualities.
But on my death bed will it be The Snows of Kilimanjaro
Posing the same contemplative question about the significance of the Snows of Kilimanjaro on one's deathbed.
