Selfless Cold and Composed
The Sacramento State Jazz Singers Lyrics

The song "Selfless Cold and Composed" by The Sacramento State Jazz Singers is a melancholic ballad that delves into the complexities of human relationships. The lyrics reflect on the doubts and the emotional distance that grow between two people who can't find a way to connect. The lines "I said what you wanted to hear, and what I wanted to say, so I will take it back" illustrates the frustration of hiding one's true feelings out of fear of being misunderstood or rejected. The verse "You remain selfless, cold, and composed" expresses the disappointment of not being able to reach out to the other person despite their efforts to maintain a courteous facade. The lines "You don't owe me to be so Polite, You've done no wrong, Get out of my sight" show the emotional turmoil the singer is going through and their desire to break free from the situation.

The chorus "It's easy to be easy and free when it doesn't mean anything" highlights the irony of trying to put up a front of being okay when deep down, everything is falling apart. The song's title "Selfless, Cold and Composed" hints at the complex emotional states of both the main characters in the song. They are selfless in their attempt to spare the other person's feelings. However, when it comes to expressing their own emotions, they are cold and distant, trying to maintain composure despite their inner turmoil.
