Something is coming now
The repetitiveness of the lyrics, "Something is coming now," creates an eerie tone that hints at an uncertain future that is approaching quickly. The use of the present tense also adds to the sense of urgency and immediacy. The fact that the lyrics are repeated four times in the chorus reinforces the idea that the inevitable event is looming, and it cannot be ignored. The sense of being powerless in the face of an impending occurrence is also conveyed by the lyrics.
The song's title, "In the cold I'm standing," reinforces the idea of being exposed and vulnerable to the elements. It creates an image of a lone figure bracing themselves against the cold, a metaphor for the challenges they may face in the future. The verses of the song are more reflective, with lyrics such as "I'm a stranger I'm a mess" suggesting that the singer is wrestling with their own identity and purpose in the world.
Overall, the song is a contemplative piece that conveys a sense of uncertainty about the future, while also acknowledging the internal struggles that any individual may face. The repetitiveness of the lyrics and the use of metaphor and imagery all help to create a sense of depth and emotion in the song.

This song reminds me of a really good friend… she used to be more than that, but the two of us once separated by a floor became separated by 1800 miles. And I just couldn’t fathom dating someone that far away.
She gave me a choice, a choice to stay together, and trust me… not a day goes by where I don’t question my choice.
I miss her beautiful smile, I miss making her laugh, I miss having her play with my hair while we lay together and enjoy the moment. Sure the kisses and hugs were nice, but more than anything else… I miss having that person, the one who loves and supports you unconditionally. We as men were trained not to show sadness and weakness in front of anyone, but if I fell a part in her arms… she could put me back together. I wasn’t dependent on that, that would be a bad thing, but having it… is something so rare and unimaginable that even now after having it, I can’t imagine it.
I wish I could hold her one last time, and let her know that I still love her so much. I still tell her these things as friends, we both do… but let’s be honest… it hits so much more when they say it to you in person.
Some people search their whole lives to find this, I’m glad I can say I found it once… even if it didn’t last.
While I know that I can’t sit back and pray that I get the chance, I won’t lie. I hope that one day I have her within arms length again. I love her.

TW: I sang this to myself while I was dying from overdosing and going to the hospital. it makes me cry because all I can remember is holding onto life and realizing that nothing else is important right now other than staying alive. I remember how long the ride felt. 15 minutes turned into a fucking hour for me. I just remember my mom telling me to hang on and to keep talking to her so she knew I was still okay. I just remember hearing her voice over me singing this and it makes me so depressed. anyways, don't kill yourself because people love you and somewhere out there to someone, you're everything they could ever want in life. you cant leave your soulmate out here all on their own. even if it feels like no one is waiting for you and nobody cares, someone does. I do. the people you have yet to meet do too. just hang on in there. God Bless.
