Lyrics
It's July but it's winter in your mind
Feeling emotionally cold and desolate despite it being a summertime reference
You've been down but never quite this way before
Experiencing hardships, but this situation feels unprecedented or more intense
It's a crime to watch the needle take another soul
Metaphorically witnessing the destructive impact of addiction or vice taking lives
Look around see the poison killing people by the score
Observing the widespread harm caused by a harmful substance or behavior
You've got into something that's leading you nowhere, cut it loose
Realizing involvement in something that doesn’t lead to any positive outcome; urging to break free
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Encouragement to let go and transform the situation
Getting deeper into something, that leaves you with nothing, cut it loose
Getting increasingly involved in a situation that yields no value or benefit; urging to release from it
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Reinforcing the message to abandon the detrimental situation
Every time you escape into the wilderness
Seeking refuge in isolation or seclusion, but losing parts of oneself each time
You will find it's stolen just a little more of you
Realizing that seeking escape gradually diminishes personal essence or identity
You say you're fine, but it's only your imagination
Claiming to be okay when it's merely an illusion or self-deception
Such a shame, 'cause you've only got yourself to blame
Expressing regret as the responsibility lies within oneself
You've got into something that's leading you nowhere, cut it loose
Reiteration of being stuck in a fruitless situation, emphasizing the need to break free
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Repeated insistence to release oneself from the unproductive circumstance
Getting deeper into something, that leaves you with nothing, cut it loose
Highlighting the escalating involvement leading to a hollow or detrimental outcome
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Emphasizing the necessity of letting go and changing the situation
Such a shame, you've only got yourself to blame
Reiterating the sole responsibility for the situation lies with oneself
You've got into something that's leading you nowhere, cut it loose
Reemphasizing the need to break free from a directionless and damaging path
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Continuing to advocate for cutting ties with a situation that yields no positive outcome
Getting deeper into something, that leaves you with nothing, cut it loose
Stressing the consequences of deepening involvement that leads to a void or loss
Yeah, yeah, cut it loose, turn it out
Repeated insistence on letting go and transforming the situation for the better
