Cold Shoulder
A New Beginning Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
as i watch this fight
he's trapped inside a hole
too deep to climb
the outcome is undetermined
i see him squirming for help
looking for a word to say
anything to hide the pain
asking for an answer [so why question]
getting turned shoulders [this relationship]
watching lives change [after so many years?]
anything to hide the pain
this ruler isn't long enough
to measure how much it hurts
there's future to explore
guess i can't hope for much more
The lyrics of A New Beginning's song Cold Shoulder describe the struggle of someone watching a loved one go through a difficult time. The first stanza sets the scene of helplessness and sadness as tears come to the singer's eyes while watching their friend or family member fight to get out of a hole they have found themselves in. The following lines depict the intensity of the struggle, and how the outcome is uncertain. The person in trouble is fighting for help and looking for any words to ease their pain.
The second stanza seems to suggest that the person in need of help is not getting the support they expect, and the relationship between the singer and the person in trouble may be affected. The phrase "getting turned shoulders" suggests a lack of empathy or care from the people around them. The singer is watching things change after so many years, which could imply that the relationship was long-standing but is in danger of falling apart.
The closing lines of the song suggest that despite the current difficulties, there is still hope for the future, and the singer shouldn't give up on it. While the pain felt is immeasurable, there is still a future to explore, and the singer cannot hope for much more than that.
