Cold Water
Sinking in Melancholy Depths: Cold Water's Poignant Tale
Lyrics
Twisting through contorted limb
Struggling through twisted and distorted situations
Sober now from distant whim
Currently clear-headed and rational after being previously influenced by distant desires
Batten down the hatches
Prepare for a difficult or dangerous situation ahead
The storm approaches, the thunder crashes
An imminent crisis is nearing, indicated by thunder in the approaching storm
It cannot wait
The situation cannot be delayed
It must be now
It needs to happen immediately
A shot's been fired across the bow
A warning or aggressive action has been taken
What presence here has been proclaimed?
Questioning the announced presence or impact of something
What once was unspoken is finally named
What was previously unexpressed or unacknowledged is now spoken or recognized
So this is sinking, or so it seems
Expressing the feeling of sinking or failing, though uncertain
Diving fathoms in lucid dreams
Delving deeply into vivid and clear dreams
With lungs now aching, begging for air
Feeling breathless, desperate for air
And only cold water answers
Only emptiness or desolation responds to the distress
With a cinder block anchor, hope turns to despair
Hope turns into hopelessness due to an anchor-like burden
Ripped from the womb and left to the ocean's care
Metaphorically removed from safety and left exposed to the harshness of reality
Cold water
Symbolizing the unforgiving and harsh reality
So just sink, let go, slip into the depths
Surrendering and letting oneself descend into the depths of despair
Let the pieces of a wasted life slip past the fingertips
Allowing past mistakes and regrets to slip away
Rejoice, exult, a fitting conclusion to a melancholy myth
Ironically celebrating the fitting but melancholic end to a tragic story
A grave at sea, an absentee, whose presence won't be missed
Acknowledging a disappearance that won't be mourned or missed
Picking at the bones that came to rest on the ocean bed
Examining the remnants of what has settled at the bottom of the sea
Whose subtle pose tells a tale of those that sink like lead
Interpreting the silent remnants as a story of those who sink heavily
Summon the ire left hanging in moments that swings by the neck to and fro.
Evoking emotions left lingering in moments of decision-making
Assured by the light that there's one way to go
Confidently moving towards an expected outcome
Death is callous, strange, and sudden
Describing death as indifferent, abrupt, and peculiar
A pious, indignant glutton
Portraying death as self-righteous and voracious
Whose hands are soft, warm, and inviting
Contrasting the harsh nature of death with a seemingly welcoming appearance
