Another Day in Paradise
Echoes of Urban Solitude: A Tale in the Streets
Lyrics
She calls out to the man on the street
She is addressing a man on the street.
"Sir, can you help me?
She asks the man for help, explaining her homelessness due to the cold.
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Expressing her need for shelter as she has nowhere to sleep.
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"
Asking the man if he knows of a place where she can find shelter.
He walks on, doesn't look back
The man continues walking without acknowledging her.
He pretends he can't hear her
Ignoring her plea, pretending not to hear.
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
The man whistles and crosses the street, possibly avoiding the situation.
Seems embarrassed to be there
He appears uncomfortable or ashamed of being in that situation.
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Encouraging the man to reconsider his actions, emphasizing it's another day in paradise for both.
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you
Reiterating the idea that it's another day in paradise for the man.
You and me in paradise
Emphasizing the shared experience of paradise for both the man and the woman.
Think about it
A prompt to reflect on the situation and the consequences of the man's choice.
She calls out to the man on the street
Repetition of the woman's call for help.
He can see she's been crying
Noticing the woman's emotional distress, evident from her tears.
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Describing the physical toll on the woman's feet as she attempts to walk despite blisters.
She can't walk but she's trying
Highlighting the woman's determination to move despite her physical condition.
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Encouraging the man to reconsider, emphasizing it's another day in paradise for both.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you
Repeating the idea that it's just another day in paradise for the man.
You and me in paradise
Reiterating the shared experience of paradise for both the man and the woman.
Just think about it
Encouraging contemplation on the situation.
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do?
Pleading for divine intervention or additional help.
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
Expressing hope for a solution or guidance from a higher power.
You can tell from the lines on her face
Observing the visible signs of hardship on the woman's face.
You can see that she's been there
Noting that the woman has experienced difficulties in various places.
Probably been moved on from every place
Suggesting the woman's displacement from different locations due to not fitting in.
'Cause she didn't fit in there
Implying societal rejection or exclusion leading to her displacement.
Oh, think twice, 'cause it's another day for you and me in paradise
Reiterating the message that it's another day in paradise for both.
Oh, think twice, it's just another day for you
Repeating the idea that it's just another day in paradise for the man.
You and me in paradise
Restating the shared experience of paradise for both the man and the woman.
Just think about it
Encouraging further reflection on the situation.
