Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, oh, oh (whoa) ooh
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
I was on the phone with some cold lady
Who would have my mind
I was in the waking cold
Watch me lose myself, I rest
Who was in the cold with some cold lady?
Please don't run, hey, yeah
Who would have my mind
I was in the waking cold
Watch me lose myself, I rest
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Girl, I am waiting
Don't forget to check your cellphone
There's no mistaking, yeah
Don't forget about your real home
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics to "Decisions" by How to Dress Well featuring Yuksel Arslan are quite enigmatic and open to interpretation. At the beginning of the song, the singer seems to be in conversation with someone who has a cold demeanor and is trying to take over his mind. He feels lost and in a state of limbo, as indicated by the line "Watch me lose myself, I rest." This cold lady could be a symbol for a threat that is trying to control him, whether it be a person or a feeling.
Later in the song, the singer addresses a girl and urges her not to forget her true home, while also reminding her to check her phone. These lines could be interpreted in various ways, but it gives the impression that he is trying to help the girl stay grounded and not get lost in the coldness of the world or in her personal life.
Overall, the lyrics of "Decisions" paint a picture of someone trying to navigate through a confusing and potentially dangerous situation. The coldness mentioned throughout the song could represent the external world or even the internal struggles that we all face at times, and the singer is trying to find a way to stay connected to himself and others through it all.

The sonic soundscape in this song is amazing. The falsetto vocals layered over the top just make it all burst so beautifully. I wish I had better speakers to truly enjoy this.

This songs is the sound of elegance. It shows the true talent of a person, if they can create something that is wholly original, even though they are—like everyone else—relying on known ingredients.

@elsinsentido Remember, there is nothing wrong with this, your definition of love between you and the one you are with is unique. What is right is 2 people together that are together because they want to be, not because they need each-other and need to fill something they feel is missing in their lives.
