Opening
Cowboy Lyrics

Words mean nothing and are useless in the face of time
And I don't want to be walking on my own




Overall Meaning

The opening lyrics of Cowboy's song "Opening" speak to the idea that language and communication hold little value when faced with the greater forces of the universe. Time is an all-consuming entity that renders words meaningless and impotent, as it moves forward without regard for human affairs. The singer seems to be contemplating the transience of life, and the futility of trying to harness it through language. They express a desire for connection, but not in isolation – they do not want to walk alone.


The theme of the song seems to revolve around the human condition of isolation and our desire to connect with others. Despite the inefficacy of language and the indifference of time, the singer still longs for companionship in their journey through life. The opening lines of the song set the stage for the exploration of these themes, and resonate with anyone who has grappled with the fleeting nature of existence and the need for meaningful relationships.


Line by Line Meaning

Words mean nothing and are useless in the face of time
The power of language to impact reality fades away with the passage of time, rendering it ineffective.


And I don't want to be walking on my own
I am not content with being alone and desire companionship in my journey through life.
