Temporary Trip
Navigating Life's Temporary Trips: A Reflection on Loneliness and Resilience
Lyrics
I saw a man break down on New Year's Eve
I witnessed a man experiencing a breakdown on New Year's Eve.
Drop to his knees and cry hysterically
He dropped to his knees and cried intensely.
Screaming nonsense you would not believe
He was screaming incomprehensible things that seemed unbelievable.
On the sidewalk right in front of me
This chaotic scene unfolded on the sidewalk right in front of me.
And I asked him Mr. what's the matter
I inquired about his well-being, addressing him as "Mr."
Calm down are you alright
I urged him to calm down and asked if everything was alright.
Looks like you could use a doctor
Suggested that he might need medical attention.
And how much have you had to drink tonight
Asked about the amount of alcohol he had consumed that night.
Remember this is just a temporary trip
Emphasizes that whatever the man is going through is temporary.
If you stay down too long you can sometimes lose your grip.
Advises that staying down too long might lead to losing control.
I helped him get back on his feet again
Assisted the man in standing up again.
And brushed the slush off his overcoat
Removed the slush from his overcoat, symbolizing a gesture of help.
He wiped his eyes he shook my hand and then
The man wiped his eyes, shook hands, and prepared to leave.
Before he walked away he sadly cleared his throat
Before departing, he cleared his throat and expressed sadness.
Then he said son I'm just old and lonely
He explained that he is simply old and lonely.
But thank you for your concern
Expressed gratitude for the concern shown by the narrator.
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year
Wished the narrator a Happy New Year.
I wished him one back in return
The narrator reciprocated the New Year wishes.
Remember this is just a temporary trip
Reiterates that the difficulties the man faced are temporary.
If you stay down too long you can sometimes lose your grip.
Warns about the potential consequences of staying down for too long.
Then he said son I'm just old and lonely
Repeats the man's explanation of being old and lonely.
But thank you for your concern
Expresses gratitude again for the narrator's concern.
Here's wishing you a Happy New Year
Wishes the narrator a Happy New Year once more.
I wished him one back in return
The narrator reciprocates the New Year wishes once again.
Remember this is just a temporary trip
Reiterates that the challenges are temporary.
If you stay down too long you can sometimes lose your grip
Warns once more about the risk of losing control if one remains down for too long.
Remember this is just a temporary trip
Repeats the message that the difficulties are temporary.
If you stay down too long you can sometimes lose it.
Reiterates the caution about the potential loss of control if one remains down for an extended period.
