Cold Black Mile
Surviving the Cold Black Mile: A Journey Through Pain and Redemption
Lyrics
This one went deep, these wounds will last
This experience has deeply affected the person, leaving lasting wounds.
This one's more than just the past
The current situation is more significant than just a distant memory.
This one's still here, it fills up these rooms
The impact of this situation is still present, filling the surroundings.
Everything I see around here reminds me of you
Every aspect of the environment serves as a reminder of the person being addressed.
It's a war I fight every night
The person is engaged in a constant internal struggle or emotional conflict.
Out here alone on the cold black mile
The individual is navigating a challenging and isolating journey, metaphorically represented as the "cold black mile."
It's in the grey of the mornin', it's in the sound of her name
The pain is felt in the early morning and echoes in the mention of a significant name.
It's in the walls of that home where we lived where the love just couldn't stay
The pain is embedded in the walls of the shared home where love couldn't endure.
And this might be the hardest thing I'll ever have to survive
Facing and surviving this situation might be the toughest challenge.
It's time to walk down the cold black mile
It's time to confront and endure the difficult journey represented as the "cold black mile."
I was on the front lines, yeah, you watched me retreat
The speaker was actively involved, possibly in a difficult situation, and retreated.
But when I came back busted and broken, I was still standin' on my feet
Despite being damaged, the speaker remains standing and resilient.
No, I'm not on my knees anymore, I ain't prayin' for some open door
The speaker has moved beyond a position of vulnerability and stopped praying for change.
Waitin' for somethin' we both know just don't belong here anymore
Accepting that certain things no longer belong in their life.
I'll take the pain, feel it grow inside
Embracing and enduring the pain as it grows within.
It's all I can carry on the cold black mile
The pain is carried along the challenging journey of the "cold black mile."
It's in the pain without answers, it's in the things you can't change
The pain persists in unanswered questions and in things beyond one's control.
It's in the callin' it forever, but then the words just blow away
Committing to something forever, but the words lose their significance.
And I might die a thousand times, but I know I can survive
Despite facing numerous challenges, the speaker believes in their ability to endure.
I'll just keep on pushin' down the cold black mile
Persisting and pushing forward along the challenging path of the "cold black mile."
It might've taken everything, but it gave me back my life
Although everything may have been taken, the experience has given back a sense of life.
Mornin' is breakin' now on the cold black mile
The morning is breaking, symbolizing a new beginning on the "cold black mile."
