Troubador's Resilient Verse Against Inhumanity
Lyrics
Oh troubadour
Addressing the troubadour, acknowledging their identity as a poet or musician.
Did they ask you why
Raising a question about whether others questioned the troubadour's actions.
You traversed the street
Asking if the troubadour faced scrutiny while navigating the streets.
Oh troubadour
Reiterating the troubadour's identity and possibly their challenges.
Did they even look at your face
Inquiring if others paid attention to the troubadour's presence or ignored them.
Or ask your name
Questioning whether anyone bothered to learn the troubadour's name.
How did you respond
Asking about the troubadour's reaction to the indifference reflected in others' eyes.
To the blankness of their eyes
Seeking to understand how the troubadour coped with the lack of engagement from others.
How did you respond
Repeated inquiry, possibly emphasizing the troubadour's response to apathy.
Oh oh troubadour
Repeating the troubadour's identity, prompting further exploration of their reactions.
How did you respond
Continuing the inquiry into the troubadour's responses to external challenges.
To their language of guns knives knuckles and boots
Asking about the troubadour's reaction to a hostile environment symbolized by weapons.
How did you respond
Repeated inquiry, underlining the troubadour's stance in the face of adversity.
Oh oh troubadour
Reiteration of the troubadour's identity and their resilience against hostility.
Oh- troubadour
Repeating the address to the troubadour, possibly emphasizing their role.
Or did you still stubbornly hope the poetics of humanity
Questioning whether the troubadour maintained hope for humanity's poetic side.
Will spread throughout
Expressing the troubadour's optimism that humanistic poetry can overcome cruelty.
The desert of their inhumanity
Relating the hope to counter the harshness introduced by a metaphorical "white winter."
Brought by the years of cruel white winter
Suggesting that inhumanity has persisted over time, possibly referring to historical struggles.
How did you respond
Repeated inquiry into the troubadour's response to indifference in others' eyes.
To the blankness of their eyes
Reiteration of the troubadour's challenge in facing the lack of understanding from others.
How did you respond
Continued inquiry into the troubadour's coping mechanisms in the face of apathy.
Oh oh troubadour
Restating the troubadour's identity and seeking insights into their resilience.
Tell me how did you respond
Urging the troubadour to share their reactions to hostility and indifference.
To their language of guns knives knuckles and boots
Repeating the inquiry into the troubadour's response to a language of aggression.
How did you respond
Emphasizing the troubadour's stance against violence and oppression.
Oh oh troubadour
Reiteration of the troubadour's identity and resilience against adversity.
They might have emptied your pockets
Highlighting the troubadour's vulnerability, acknowledging potential material losses.
But at least they left the poetry in you
Acknowledging that despite hardships, the troubadour retained their poetic essence.
They left the poetry in you
Emphasizing the enduring nature of the troubadour's poetry, even in challenging circumstances.
