The Deserter
Deserted in the Cold: A Soul's Journey Beyond Borders
Lyrics
I miss my woman
I long for the presence of my romantic partner.
I miss my boys
I miss my close friends or companions.
I look out the window
I gaze through the window, contemplating.
Sitting on the lid
Sitting in a contemplative state.
Too far gone
I have gone too far emotionally or physically.
Too far away
I am distant, perhaps both physically and emotionally.
My soul is drifting
My essence or spirit is wandering aimlessly.
With the snow in the air
Amidst the falling snow, a sense of detachment prevails.
I try to be
I attempt to exist in the present moment.
Where I am
I strive to stay in my current location or state.
I try to keep
I make an effort to maintain an open mind.
An open min
I forget to consume, and I consume to forget.
Forget to drink
My heart is in pain or sorrow.
Drink to forget
I am distressed and anxious.
My heart is aching
(Empty Line)
I'm in a fret
A deserter, left alone in harsh conditions.
A deserter stranded
Comparing oneself to a lone wolf without a pack.
Far below zero
Feeling isolated and without support.
A howling wolf
Close to losing control or composure.
Without my pack
Unable to stop and reflect on the past.
I'm close to the border
(Empty Line)
I'll blow my stack
The cold journey from a place of cultural refinement.
I cannot stop
I walk while freezing, expressing discomfort.
To look back
Furrowing brows in concentration or worry.
The icy way
The path covered in ice, perhaps metaphorical challenges.
From the opera house
A reference to a location associated with high culture and art.
I walk and freeze
Moving forward despite freezing conditions.
Knitting my brows
Frowning due to the extreme cold.
Can't feel my legs
Numbness in the legs.
Can't feel my thighs
Numbness in the thighs.
My lips are blue
Physical discomfort, lips turning blue.
Like lullabies
A simile indicating a state of calm or melancholy.
I wish that I was
Wishing to be anywhere but the current situation.
Anywhere else
Desiring salvation or rescue.
That I was saved
Symbolic reference to being saved by bells, possibly religious.
By the bells
(Empty Line)
But I ain't getting
Feeling trapped or unable to escape.
Away or loose
Existing in the current predicament.
I am here now
Being stuck, similar to a moose caught in a situation.
Stuck like a moose
(Empty Line)
A deserter stranded...
Reiterating the sense of abandonment and isolation.
