COLD CANARY GASLIGHT
Cold Canary Gaslight: Unveiling the Enigmatic Journey of Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
Amy's like a bible and acts just like a birdcage,
Amy is compared to a bible and acts as a restrictive force like a birdcage.
Oars like an engine, dying out on burnt rage.
Oars are likened to an engine, losing power in a state of burned-out anger.
You can blow out all the candles, fire up the limelight,
Despite extinguishing candles, the limelight is ignited, portraying a cold and distant demeanor.
She looks stone with the cold canary gaslight.
Amy appears cold and unresponsive under the influence of a metaphorical canary gaslight.
Oh Sister oh now, don't you look at what I've done.
A plea to the sister not to judge the speaker for their actions.
Oh Sister oh now, don't you look at what I've done.
Repetition of the plea to the sister, emphasizing the concern about judgment.
Father's at the front door, dusting off the floormat,
The father is returning, engaging in mundane tasks, suggesting weariness.
Brittle like his thick bark, tired like his old hat.
The father is described as fragile and tired, symbolized by his worn-out hat.
He used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man,
Reflecting on the father's past wonderment about the speaker's transition to adulthood.
Said he walked on water, he was dancing on quicksand.
The father's past belief in the speaker's extraordinary abilities, now contrasted with a fall into difficulties.
Oh Father oh now, don't you look at what I've done.
A plea to the father not to judge the speaker for their actions.
Oh Father oh now, don't you look at what I've done.
Repetition of the plea to the father, emphasizing the concern about judgment.
And you see me tearing up my floorboards, white sheets, colored youth,
Describing destructive actions, tearing up floorboards, with references to racial tension (colored youth).
Fire in my eyes, and water pouring through the roof.
Expressing intensity with fire in the eyes and water pouring through the roof, possibly symbolizing emotional turmoil.
And you heard I found a mineshaft, digging past midnight,
Claiming the discovery of a metaphorical mineshaft, symbolizing a deep and hidden emotional experience.
Going to the door with the cold canary gaslight.
Approaching a door with the cold canary gaslight, suggesting a confrontation with a cold and unyielding truth.
And I tried to throw a rope down, didn't feel it pull back,
Attempting to seek help with a rope, but feeling no response, possibly reflecting isolation.
Dead canary chirping now, cold blood and pitch black.
A dead canary, symbolizing danger and foreboding, with coldness and darkness prevailing.
I said oh, no
Expression of dismay or regret.
I said oh, no
Repetition of the expression of dismay or regret for emphasis.
I said oh, no
Continuation of the expression of dismay or regret.
