Cold Loud Dark
Navigating Shadows: Unveiling Life's Uncertainties through 'Cold Loud Dark'
Lyrics
I don't know, I don't know
Expressing uncertainty and lack of knowledge.
I don't know anything at all
Reiterating a sense of not knowing anything.
The older I get the more I know that
Acknowledging increased awareness with age.
Not enough to wish and hope
Highlighting the inadequacy of mere wishes.
We must make maps beyond the wall
Advocating the creation of plans or strategies beyond obstacles.
It's pulling me out and I can't go back
Describing a force pulling the speaker forward, preventing a return.
But I am a shadow, I'm a liar, I'm a lesson never learned
Self-identifying as a shadow, liar, and a lesson never learned.
I am a coward, but I'll buy a second chance I never earned
Admitting to cowardice but expressing a desire for a second chance.
I got this feeling like I'm starting again
Conveying a sense of starting anew or restarting.
Nothing but smoke in my hands
Symbolizing a feeling of instability with smoke in hands.
I got no hope in my head, no
Expressing a lack of hope in the mind.
Without believing
Stressing the importance of belief.
In the black and the white
Contrasting the concepts of black and white, possibly representing ambiguity.
I got no reason to fight
Having no motivation to fight except for the need for survival.
Except the need for survival
Blank line, creating a pause or emphasizing survival.
I don't know, I don't know
Reiterating a sense of not knowing.
I don't know, I don't know
Continuing the theme of uncertainty.
I never left that stop me anyway
Defying obstacles and continuing despite uncertainties.
Where it's too dark to see
Describing a place where visibility is limited.
Too cold to breathe
Highlighting extreme cold, possibly representing harsh conditions.
Too loud to think
Emphasizing loudness, suggesting a distracting environment.
That's where I find my way
Finding a way in challenging circumstances.
I am a shadow, I'm a liar, I'm a lesson learned
Repeating the self-identification as a shadow, liar, and a learned lesson.
I am a coward, but I'll buy a second chance I've earned
Reaffirming cowardice but expressing a desire for a deserved second chance.
It's in the deep
Referencing the depth where instinctive fights occur.
Where the fight is instinctive
Implying challenges outside the norm.
Out of the fold
Suggesting departure from conventional paths or expectations.
There are fires to find
Seeking opportunities or challenges beyond the usual.
It's in the cold, loud, dark and delinquent
Highlighting elements of cold, loudness, darkness, and delinquency as defining features.
It's in the storm
Emphasizing challenges akin to a storm at the end of the line.
At the end of the line
Concluding with a reference to the end of the journey or path.
