Cactus 13: Embracing Solitude in the Desert of Choices
Lyrics
You see me coming
You notice my approach
I'm all by myself
I am alone
I like it that way
I prefer solitude
I'm rolling through this
I am navigating through
Your desert suburb
Your suburban desert
I'm traveling light
I am traveling without much baggage
You wanna help me
You want to assist, but there's limited help you can offer
But there's not much you can do
That limitation is acceptable
And that's alright, yeah
And that's okay
Baby's got a spell on me
A romantic interest has enchanted me
Well darling won't you let me be
Plead with the romantic interest to allow independence
No this wolf don't need a pack
I, like a lone wolf, don't need a group
Getting ready for the counter attack
Preparing for a defensive response
Witchful ways; striking gaze
Magical and captivating qualities; intense stare
Baby put me in a haze
The romantic interest puts me in a daze
I just wanna travel free
Desire for unrestrained travel
Pretty baby break your hold on me
Request for release from the romantic interest's influence
I will walk this lonely road
Choosing a solitary path
But I'm lonely by choice
Loneliness is a deliberate choice
I just wanna be free
Desire for freedom
They call me CACTUS 13
Self-identifying as "CACTUS 13"
Here we are back to the start
Returning to the beginning
Really don't wanna break your heart
Reluctance to cause emotional pain
You know I bare the sins of man
Bearing the burdens of humanity
Oh baby can't you understand
Request for understanding
Losing light; the sun is low
Losing daylight; approaching darkness
I leave you in my shadow
Leaving someone in my shadow
The queen of lies; Matriarch
Characterizing someone as the queen of lies; matriarchal figure
You know I do better in the dark
Performing better in the absence of light
I will walk this lonely road
Choosing a solitary path once again
But I'm lonely by choice
Loneliness is a deliberate choice (reiteration)
I just wanna be free
Desire for freedom (reiteration)
They call me CACTUS 13
Self-identifying as "CACTUS 13" (reiteration)
