Cordalene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till comunication stops
And my head is divided
Into undecided conversations
And my mind is blinded
Too bad thought
They don't flow into one
And show me that there's none
My mind is blinded
Chorus:
She was floating right there before me
With her eyes shining bright
And I knew that I'd fall
I knew that I'd fall
Drowning me with beautiful energy
In a waterfall of light
And I knew that I'd fall
Knew that I'd fall
I want to be clear of this fear
And these tears
And be free of this sound
And these clouds
That hang like shrowds over
My mind is blinded
Chorus
So many leaves upon the ground
The sound of our feet
Scuffing the street
Clicking the trolly track
Glancing back
At her eyes
Peeking through
The lyrics of Cordalene's song "Talk" seem to convey the frustration of being unable to communicate effectively. The first verse describes the feeling of being in a state of confusion due to a back-and-forth conversation that doesn't seem to make any progress. The singer's mind is "blinded" by the inability to find a resolution, leaving them feeling divided and undecided. The second half of the verse suggests that there may be a desire for someone to come into the situation to help bridge the gap or offer some clarity, but ultimately, the singer acknowledges that they are on their own.
The chorus seems to introduce a new character, "she," who appears to be a source of positive energy for the singer. The use of the word "floating" suggests a dreamlike or otherworldly quality to her presence. The imagery of falling and drowning in a "waterfall of light" paints a picture of being overcome with emotion in a way that feels both beautiful and potentially overwhelming.
The second verse continues the theme of feeling trapped or held back by negative emotions. The metaphor of clouds as shrouds suggests a sense of heaviness or suffocation. The singer expresses a desire to "be free of this sound" which could represent either the literal sound of an argument or the internal chatter of anxiety and negative self-talk.
Overall, the song seems to capture the ups and downs of navigating relationships and communication. There are moments of frustration and confusion, but also moments of beauty and connection that make the struggles worth it.

Don’t get pets if you can’t afford to take good care of them. After working in a vet clinic for almost a year, it’s one of the biggest issues we run into daily. A pet is not an accessory, it’s a living breathing thing.
Also, be mindful with your words when interacting with clinic staff. Contrary to what it may seem, it’s a high stress environment. It’s like a hospital, but the patients can’t talk. So before you do something just think: “Would this be acceptable at a hospital?”
Assumptions people make that are incorrect:
1) all vet hospitals and clinics are the same, have the same records on every pet, offer the same services, and accept the same forms of payment
2) if I don’t want to pay for something, I can scream at the billing department/receptionist until I get it for free
3) Vets don’t have the right to refuse me service
4) my pet can be treated anytime I want because I’m a paying customer (This is a big one. If you know something is wrong with your pet, don’t wait until they’re hanging on for dear life before you bring them in. If the vet techs and the doctor have left for the day, you’ll be redirected. No exceptions)
5) baths, nail trims, shots, grooming etc are simple things that should be free (this is another big issue we run into. It’s a service so it will not be free. These things can be so time consuming that there are actual positions delegated to different people to get these tasks done. In order for them to get paid, you need to pay for the service. Otherwise, you can teach yourself to do these things at home).
6) I can continue to ask the doctor questions even after I have left the office/hospital (it’s important you come with your questions. Doctors don’t have much time so after you leave the office, you’re no longer a priority. Not to say you don’t matter, but now that you’re gone we have other things to finish)
7)my vet will have everything I need and I can request anything and get it at the drop of a hat (vets often work with other vendors to have food, medicines, and other products in the clinic. But we do not always have everything at the drop of a hat. Especially with the pandemic happening, items can’t be promised. If you need something, make sure your hospital or office has it in stock before you run out. And if you need medical records, it’s always good to get those ahead of time instead of waiting until you’re in the lobby at your specialist visit. Records include a lot of info and the doctor has to approve them before they can be sent so more than 2 minutes notice would be great).
TLDR: Love your vets so they can love on your pets ☺️

@Envy Tee Agreed. I'm a veterinarian and my girlfriend is an MSTP student in M2 year.
Biomedical coursework is similar, but clinical studies are very different. Without a doubt, human medicine is more specialized. Yes, we SOMETIMES study the same systems, SOMETIMES the same drugs, and SOMETIMES the same diagnostics. There are way more drugs and diagnostics utilized for human health.
In veterinary school, we mainly focus on dogs, cats, horses, cattle. It's a myth that we learn all species in vet school. The depth of practice varies between species, still does not compare to human health.
Research in veterinary medicine is poor compared to human medicine. Humans have insurance, pet insurance works on reimbursement. Most veterinary care is paid out of pocket. This all limits the scope of practice of a veterinarian vs MD.
Although there are similarities and parallels, the differences are huge.

@Szarkbytes617 I'm a practicing MD, and I spent the same amount of time in Med School as some of my close friends spent in Vet Med School. We almost went through school perfectly simultaneously, but because of both schools being part of the same larger university, we spent most of our school lives in regular contact.
I can confidently say, having personally seen the things they covered and compared it to what I did, that what they had to study to complete their DVM was just as comprehensive, in-depth and complex as what we had to study to complete our MBBS. In fact, in the university we actually had a number of shared classes over the years with the DVM students because the content being covered was near identical.
I can't speak on how MPhil or PhD students compare in terms of studies because I have not personally been able to compare the content required of those in Vet Med School vs Med School.
Given that, I find it incredibly difficult to say that it was longer or harder to become an MD versus becoming a practicing Veterinarian, because from my experience this has not been the case.
In fact, in some ways I could argue that they had it harder in Vet Med than I did in Med School given that they did indeed cover multiple species as comprehensively as I did for one. I do recall some species being given much more in-depth coverage than others (which is understandable as I can't imagine it is possible to be that extensive with every known species of animal) however those species that they did go in-depth with (cattle, sheep, dogs, cats and fowl are among those I remember) their syllabus rivaled our own extensive studies.

@Ejaita Gbejewoh I definitely agree with you. A lack of compassion is common with some vets (not all). We had to put my dog down a couple of hours ago, he was 13 years old and had complete organ failure. The money required for his treatment was 5k and required upfront no part payment or anything. We took a loan for it and paid the amount. After a few tests we were told he was in organ failure and he’s sick and dying. The vet on duty had no compassion at all at the time she kept shaking her head in disappointment at my dogs condition and kept making statements in a sarcastic way because I wanted to explore all options before taking his life not realizing that:
1) I had spent every penny I could on his treatment and the foods that were best for him.
2) my dog slept on my bed so I had to plan my sleep to take him to the toilet every 2 hours (including when I was asleep) just to make sure he didn’t mess and sometimes even then he may have had an accident which I cleaned up no complaints. So obviously I haven’t had a decent sleep for a while.
3) When I got my dogs, my family was well off. We had money to spend but then life threw us a curveball and we lost everything when I was in high school. Now I am a qualified online teacher working 12 hours a day in a country amidst a pandemic with currently 14k COVID-19 cases per day just to make a living because of the economy has been affected by the pandemic. I work with rescue animals as well and care for 2 elderly parents both physically and financially as well as groceries for both my pets and my family. Also I have vet bills which I am currently paying off due to my pets sudden health issues.
4) I had lost one dog in June because he was also old (just under 15 years) and it was his time. Since his passing my dog that I lost earlier was depressed and his health started to decline. Keep in mind that my other dog was also taken care of in the same way.
5) pet insurance was only introduced in my country a few years ago with an age limit of 8 years old. At the time it was introduced 3 out of my 4 dogs had already surpassed that age which obviously meant that my two that I lost could NOT be medically insured.
Eventually the next vet came on duty whilst the other went into surgery and had slightly more compassion but was rude enough to not give us privacy and lecture us in front of staff and another client. After taking some time to decide we went with what was best for him because he clearly wanted to be with his brother in heaven. I gave the decision to the vet and whilst my dog was still alive they wanted to discuss his proceedings after death and payment. To top it all the other vet saw and heard everything but seeing as she handed over she was no longer concerned and she didn’t even say a word but smirked to herself and walked away. Once again no compassion and all about the money.
I know the vets don’t care about all of your personal issues because it’s about the animal however they shouldn’t assume that all pet owners don’t care based on what they see. Payment plans using proper credit checks or even checking the clients payment history should also be given.
I always empathize with vets because no doubt their job is difficult but having a lack of compassion is definitely not ok especially when the pet is about to die or critical (compassion fatigue or not). How we say things goes any long way. If a member of your human family was critical and all the hospital did was ask and discuss finance, how would you feel? All doctors take an oath to save a life to the best of their ability just remember that does NOT include money.
From what I see and based on this talk, this vet really does her best and you can see she is dedication towards it. The only part I disagree with is the part about owning a pet and how you shouldn’t have a pet if you can’t afford to have medical insurance or a savings account. America being a 1st world country may not have as many strays but 3rd world countries have an abundance of strays that we try to tackle on a daily basis so literally if people can afford just the basic needs for pet care we are allowing them to have a pet just so that they have a home and aren’t killed for not having a family (that’s what kill shelters do).

"There is nothing more soul-crushing in life than having the skills and ability to help something helpless and you can't do it because someone can't afford treatment." This is exactly it, thank you.

@No Mens Rea Though unless the source I read it from was sketchy, the relationship between a hospital and insurance companies is cruel in that a hospital has to charge a high price on the assumption that the insurance company will cut that price significantly down.

@anthosm Kind of sounds similar to so many families having plenty of children(it's not to say that multiple kids can't all have a happy childhood and teenage years, but when income only supports so many, it seems destructive in nature)
Maybe I don't get the importance of a blood relation or it's something to do with the process, but with the population increases around the world, it'd seem that adoption would be a route people would take

@Magda Draganova While that sort of thing would be what the individual would like to do, not only does the company that the vet is working with need their profit, but doing that sort of thing is a very risky action as if done wrong, the situation can quickly become you doing work with no wage attached it, spending your energy and free time doing that and quickly burning out(it becomes a great example of the phrase, "No good deed goes unpunished", as a decision only driven by emotion and heart leads to issues in a similar manner to a decision made by logic-based thoughts)

I’m a pre-vet student right now and this video was so insightful and struck me. I know it’s not going to be easy. I know that I’m at high risk for suicide because of the profession I’ve chosen. But I also know that I love animals and want to help them.
I am ChloL
@Jessica Meadows how’s it going?

Wow! I'm in hs thinking about going into the profession. Good luck!

Good luck Jess, I am leaving the industry after 12 years of heart ache and constantly trying to help animals because I love them.
Please look after yourself and always talk to your colleagues because they know what you are feeling. I wish you all the best x
