Cold Water
Navigating the Depths: George Maple's Reflection on Lost Love in Cold Water
Lyrics
Days have been passing by
Expressing the passage of time.
I do not call you mine
Declining ownership or possession of the person.
Anymore
Highlighting the absence of the previous connection.
I'm starting to feel the high, is wearing off and it's
Suggesting a diminishing effect of a pleasurable experience.
Getting real round here
Describing a reality that is becoming more apparent.
Where did I go,
Pondering one's own disappearance.
Where did you go
Questioning the other person's disappearance.
Was it too fast
Reflecting on the pace of the relationship.
Was it too slow
Considering whether the relationship progressed too quickly or too slowly.
Stuck in cold water
Metaphorically feeling stuck in an emotionally challenging situation.
It leaks into my veins
Describing the intrusion of difficulties into one's life.
Cold water
Reiterating the presence of challenging circumstances.
The high that I was chasing
Recalling a previously sought-after euphoria.
Cold water
Associating challenges with the escape from responsibility.
Coz you let me get away
Attributing personal freedom to the other person's actions.
So now I watch the tide
Observing the ebb and flow of life's challenges.
Free as she minds her own
Envying the carefree nature of someone else.
Oh I wish I could be so fluid
Expressing a desire for flexibility and adaptability.
Oh I wish I could see what you did
Expressing a wish for insight into the other person's actions.
Where did I go,
Repeating the question of one's disappearance.
Where did you go
Repeating the question of the other person's disappearance.
Was it too fast
Revisiting the pace of the relationship.
Was it too slow
Reconsidering whether the relationship progressed too quickly or too slowly.
Stuck in cold water
Metaphorically feeling stuck in an emotionally challenging situation (repeated).
It leaks into my veins
Emphasizing the emotional impact of challenges.
Cold water
Reiterating the presence of challenging circumstances (repeated).
The high that I was chasing
Recalling a previously sought-after euphoria (repeated).
Cold water
Associating challenges with the escape from responsibility (repeated).
Coz you let me get away
Attributing personal freedom to the other person's actions (repeated).
