the cool
oso oso Lyrics

The lyrics to Oso Oso's song, "the cool" effortlessly captures the complexities of human emotions, and the endless contradictions we often find ourselves struggling with. The first line, "so when you fall down, make sure you get back up" is a timeless advice that resonates with all of us. It suggests that we should not let our failures define us, and instead, pick ourselves up and keep moving forward. However, the next line "when I fall in love, I always try to run away" expresses a completely different sentiment. It speaks of a fear of getting too close to someone, and the tendency to self-sabotage to avoid the pain of rejection or heartbreak. These lines perfectly capture the dichotomy present in our psyche.

The next lines "I saw the signs, all the time but never stopped. never read what they say" expresses the universal feeling of looking back at past relationships or experiences, only to realize that there were warning signs that we ignored or failed to notice. This line is followed by "and when we kiss goodnight, don't think I ever mean goodbye". This line is a testament to the power of intimacy, suggesting that even in fleeting moments of tenderness or intense passion, there is a sort of permanence that cannot be denied.

The line "when YOU speak your mind, you calm down everything inside" is a declaration of appreciation and admiration for someone's qualities, someone who can bring peace and happiness to the heart. The chorus "cool. where do you wanna go tonight?" is a seemingly casual invitation, but underneath it, there's a quiet desperation for something real and lasting. The line "i know we're all alone, but i've found that shortcut to your ribs and to your neck a thousand times" is a memorable image that speaks to the intimacy shared between two people. The desire to take the long way home "the next disaster is always around the bend" is a reminder that even in moments of peace, there's always the fear that something will go wrong.

Overall, the lyrics to "the cool" reflect the universal human experience, capturing the complex feelings and emotions that we all struggle with at some point in our lives.
