Cruel
Navigating Life's Cruel Symphony: A Song's Message Unveiled
Lyrics
Hey man, you've been spinning out a while now
Addressing someone who has been struggling for a while
It's been a moment since you've been well
It's been a while since they were doing well
I've been there too.
Speaker empathizes, indicating their own experience of similar struggles
Night time, stars are glowing but your minds wild.
Despite the beautiful night, the person's mind is chaotic
All the things you could have been child
All potential possibilities in their youth have been denied or lost
Have been refused.
Reiterating the sense of missed opportunities or rejected paths
When the world is pushing down on you
The weight of the world feels heavy and oppressive
It feels blue.
Resulting in a feeling of sadness or depression
When the world is pushing down on you
Repeating the emotional impact of the world's pressure
It feels cruel
Expressing how harsh and painful it feels
So cruel
Reaffirming the cruelty of the situation
But you can't let it hurt you.
Encouragement not to let the world's cruelty affect them deeply
Slow down, all the late nights make you feel sad
Advice to slow down from the late nights causing sadness
You get high and then you feel bad
Subsequent negative emotions after getting high
You feel a fool.
Feeling foolish or regretful
Just call him, say his hair it smell like oranges
Recalling a sensory memory related to someone (possibly a lover)
He looks like Wayne Coyne in his young years
Comparing someone's appearance to Wayne Coyne in his youth
Singing Thanks To You'.
Referencing a song or lyrics, "Thanks To You"
When the world is pushing down on you
Reiteration of the weight and sadness imposed by the world
It feels blue.
Continued description of the emotional impact
When the world is pushing down on you
Repeated statement about the world's cruelty
It feels cruel
Emphasizing the harshness of the situation
So cruel
Reaffirmation of the cruelty experienced
But you can't let it hurt you.
Encouragement not to let it deeply affect oneself
On dark days, you always picture your mothers face
Recollection of finding solace in thoughts of mother's care and love
Holy hell she made you feel great
Praising the positive impact of the mother's influence
When you'd come unglued.
Feeling stable or whole when feeling distressed
Hearts race, some in sync and others out of pace
Reference to varying emotional states of people, some synchronized, others not
But when you know, you know
Emphasizing certainty or understanding in a situation
I heard them say,
Quoting something said by others
So I guess its true.
Reflecting on the possibility of a statement being true
When the world is pushing down on you
Reiteration of the oppressive weight from the world
It feels blue.
Repeating the emotional impact of feeling blue
When the world is pushing down on you
Continued description of the emotional weight
It feels cruel
Reaffirmation of the cruelty of the situation
So cruel
Emphasizing the harshness and pain experienced
But you can't let it hurt you.
Encouragement not to let it deeply affect oneself
