Ten Foot Pole
Embracing Imperfections: A Cold Body's Tale
Lyrics
Touch me with a ten-foot pole
Expressing reluctance or aversion to physical contact, suggesting a desire for distance.
Can you feel my body's cold?
Asking if the emotional coldness is palpable, possibly indicating emotional detachment.
Look at me through a telescope
Metaphorically asking for a distant view, perhaps implying a need for space or perspective.
Can you see I'm ugly and I'm old
Expressing self-perceived unattractiveness or aging, possibly dealing with insecurity.
At the other end
Describing being at the receiving end of a severed connection or relationship.
Of a broken line
Suggesting a communication breakdown or emotional disconnection.
That scratchy voice is mine
Identifying a distinctive, perhaps raspy, voice as belonging to the speaker.
Do what you want
Repeated assertion of indifference towards others' actions, emphasizing a lack of concern.
I don't care
-Do what you want
-I don't care
-Touch me with a ten-foot pole
Reiterating the desire for distance through the ten-foot pole metaphor.
I've got no diseases that I know of
Claiming to be free of physical ailments, possibly challenging judgments or assumptions.
Take a bite out of me then swallow
Suggesting a willingness to be consumed or taken advantage of, possibly metaphorical.
Wrap me up in plastic and take me home
Desiring to be protected or preserved, possibly highlighting vulnerability.
Oh let me go
Expressing a wish to be released or set free, possibly from a restrictive situation.
You've got an evil mind
Accusing someone of having malicious or harmful intentions.
And I think I'm losing mine
Expressing a concern about losing one's own mental well-being.
Do what you want
Reiterating the indifference to others' actions, reinforcing a sense of detachment.
I don't care
-Do what you want
-I don't care
-Do what you want
Continuing to emphasize a lack of concern for others' choices or behaviors.
I don't care
-Do what you want
-I don't care
-Touch me with a ten-foot pole

Touch me with a ten-foot pole
