Looking at the World from the Bottom of a Well
Rising from Desolation: A Journey Through Love's Depths
Lyrics
That Cuban girl
Referring to a specific Cuban girl who had a significant impact on the speaker.
That brought me low
She caused the speaker's downfall or emotional distress.
She had that skin so fine and red lips rose-like now
Describes her physical attributes—fine skin and rose-like red lips.
Her mouth was wide
Her mouth was wide.
And sweet as well
Her wide mouth was sweet.
And now relentless hours of dreaming up her smell
The speaker spends countless hours dreaming about her scent.
And I feel as if I am looking at the world from the bottom of a well
The speaker feels isolated or disconnected, as if viewing the world from a dark, confined space like the bottom of a well.
Lonely
Feeling alone or isolated.
And the only way to beat it is to bat it down
Suggests the only way to overcome loneliness is to aggressively confront it.
Oh all the days
Reflecting on the days the speaker has spent running away or trying to escape.
That I have run
The speaker attempted to dispel a metaphorical dark cloud overshadowing happiness.
I sought to lose that cloud that's blacking out the sun
Waiting for a positive change or a solution to arrive.
My train will come
Hopeful that something good will come to change the situation.
Some one day soon
Belief that eventually, the awaited change or solution will arrive.
And when it comes I'll ride it bound from night to noon
Planning to embrace the positive change when it arrives.
Aimless days, uncool ways of decathecting
Days spent without direction or purpose, disengaging emotionally.
Painless phase, blacked out thoughts you be rejecting
Trying to ignore or dismiss distressing thoughts and emotions.
