Desperado
Emi Fujita Lyrics

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Addressing a desperate person, questioning why they are unable to think rationally and make sensible decisions.

You've been out ridin' fences for so long now
You have been wandering aimlessly for an extended period, lost and unsure of your purpose.

Oh, you're a hard one, I know that you've got your reasons
You are a difficult person, and while I do not understand the reasons behind your behavior, I acknowledge that they exist.

These things that are pleasin' you can hurt you somehow
The things that give you temporary pleasure can ultimately lead to harm or distress.

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
Do not make risky or foolish decisions that can result in negative consequences.

She'll beat you if she's able
If you make the wrong choice, there will be repercussions, and you will suffer the consequences.

You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
Making the right decision based on what is in your heart is your best option.

Now it seems to me, some fine things have been laid upon your table
You have been offered many good things in life, but you are still unsatisfied and restless.

But you only want the ones that you can't get
Despite the abundance of good things, you are focused on what you cannot have and fixated on unattainable desires.

Desperado, oh, you ain't getting no younger
Time is running out for you, and you are gradually losing opportunities and options.

Your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home
Your struggles and unfulfilled desires are pushing you to make rash decisions and take dangerous risks.

And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin'
The concept of freedom is something talked about by some but not necessarily achievable or realistic for everyone.

Your prison is walking through this world all alone
You are imprisoned by your own thoughts, feelings, and decisions, causing you to feel lonely and disconnected from the world.

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
A rhetorical question asking if the person feels lonely and isolated during times of hardship when they do not have anyone to turn to.

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
The weather is not favorable, and conditions are not perfect, but you continue to trudge along, alone and distant.

It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You are lost in your struggles and cannot differentiate between darkness and light, good and bad, or right and wrong.

You're losin' all your highs and lows
You are gradually losing all the experiences, both good and bad, that make life exciting and meaningful.

Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?
It is ironic how quickly the emotions and experiences that once seemed so important can fade away, leaving you feeling empty and unfulfilled.
