The Nights Are Cold
Embracing Fate: Richard Hawley's Poetic Journey Through Bitter Roads and Cold Nights
Lyrics
The fate of man is random so don't look down
The destiny or outcome of humanity is unpredictable, so avoid feeling disheartened or pessimistic.
The towns and the cities are all burning down
The urban areas, both big and small, are experiencing destruction or collapse.
Your road is bitter like the whip off the wind
Your journey or path in life is harsh and unpleasant, similar to the sting of the wind.
You wanna get to the end but you don't know how to begin
You aspire to reach your goals but feel unsure or puzzled about where to start.
You want to know how we got to where we are now
You're curious about understanding the sequence of events that led to the current situation.
The nights are cold
The evenings or nighttime experiences are bleak and chilly.
The nights are cold
The nights continue to be cold.
The nights are cold
The repetition emphasizes the ongoing nature of the cold nights, perhaps highlighting a persistent hardship.
Let my life and all it's storms begin to blow
Let the tumultuous experiences in my life commence, filled with upheavals and challenges.
Take me here and there I don't care where I go
Take me anywhere; I am indifferent about the destination.
Ah, beauty is a dark cloud when you're alone
Beauty serves as a reminder of gloom or desolation when one is solitary.
She says she has the answers but I really just don't know
Someone claims to possess solutions, yet personal uncertainty prevails.
You want to know how we got to where we are now
The desire to comprehend the path that led to the current circumstances persists.
The nights are cold
The recurring mention reiterates the prevailing coldness and harshness of the nights.
The nights are cold
The nights remain cold, symbolizing continued challenges or difficulties.
The nights are cold
Repetition emphasizes the enduring nature of the frigid nights, possibly denoting prolonged hardships.
The nights are cold
Continued emphasis on the persistently cold nights, highlighting enduring hardships or struggles.
Ah the only road I walk alone
The speaker feels isolated, walking a solitary path devoid of companionship.
Where beauty nails me to her cross
Metaphorically, being captivated or immobilized by the attractiveness or allure of a situation or individual.
