The Company I Keep
Navigating Life's Shadows: The Company I Keep Unraveled
Lyrics
What’s said is said.
Expressions or promises made are final and cannot be changed.
What’s done is done.
Actions taken are irreversible; the past cannot be undone.
Looking back on the good ol' days,
Reflecting on past times.
But the good ol' days weren’t all that good.
The nostalgia for the past is not entirely positive; it had its difficulties.
Dead and gone.
Past moments or aspects are gone and won't return.
All of my friends think I’m dead.
Others perceive the speaker as absent or unreachable.
I’m not cold, I just disappeared.
The speaker is emotionally distant but not physically cold.
Misery loves company.
People in misery seek companionship.
But you were left behind.
Despite misery seeking company, someone was left behind.
What’s said is said.
Reiteration of the finality of words and actions.
What’s done is done.
Reiteration of the irreversibility of past actions.
It’s getting harder and harder
Communication becomes challenging over time.
To say the right things.
Expressing difficulty in saying the right things.
So alone.
Feeling isolated and lonely.
Why won’t you come home?
Yearning for someone to return home.
It turned cold when you disappeared.
The emotional atmosphere changed when the person disappeared.
If misery loves company,
Questioning the notion that misery enjoys company.
Then why do I feel left behind?
Feeling abandoned despite the commonality of misery.
You decide where you went to sleep
The person decides where to rest or find peace.
And you chose the company you keep.
People choose the companionship they keep.
I just want this life to mean something.
Desiring a meaningful life.
Things are about to change.
Anticipating a significant change in life.
Screaming in D sharp that
Screaming in a specific musical key, possibly indicating intensity.
Things are about to change.
Reaffirming the imminent change in circumstances.
I know I should let it go.
Struggling to let go of something.
I should know better
Acknowledging personal shortcomings in understanding.
And you should know better too.
Expecting the same understanding from others.
But nobody knows why we do
Reflecting on the mystery behind human actions.
The fucking things that we do.
The inexplicable nature of human behavior.
Misery loves company.
Recurrence of the idea that misery seeks companionship.
Please don’t leave me behind.
Pleading not to be abandoned in misery.
I’m in way too deep.
Feeling deeply involved or committed.
You are the company I keep.
The person being addressed is the speaker's chosen company.
