Cold Shoulder
Cold Shoulder: Life's Uncertainties in Melancholic Verses
Lyrics
I don't understand anymore
I am experiencing confusion and lack of comprehension.
As I grow older
With age, I find myself growing older.
Nothing seems to be clearer
Things in life are not becoming clearer for me.
Than before, um hum
The lack of clarity is more pronounced than it was before.
Old shoulders
Shoulders that were once familiar become distant and unresponsive.
Become cold shoulders
These distant shoulders turn into cold and unsupportive ones.
Nothing left to dream on
There are no aspirations or dreams left to hold on to.
We're all kept in fear
We are collectively constrained by fear.
We're afraid to take
We are hesitant to seize opportunities.
Too many chances
Avoiding risks due to the fear of negative outcomes.
We must keep in step
We need to conform and follow a set path.
But there are just too many
However, there are too many diverse paths or choices available.
Different dances
Various options and ways of life exist.
And those old shoulders
Familiar and once supportive shoulders turn distant and cold.
Become cold shoulders
This distance becomes an unsupportive barrier.
Nothing you can lean on
There is nothing reliable or dependable to lean on.
