Bob Dylan - cold irons bound

화자는 잃어버린 사랑을 애도하며 고독한 감정에 휩싸여 있다
교회에서의 짧은 만남과 고통스러운 마음의 갈등을 겪고, 주변의 인연과 자신에게 실망하게 된다
어려운 상황 속에서 삶의 의미를 찾기 힘들고 존재감도 불확실하게 느낀다

I’m beginning to hear voices and there’s no one around
Well, I’m all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
I’m waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It’s almost like, almost like I don’t exist
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
The walls of pride are high and wide
Can’t see over to the other side
It’s such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It’s sadder still to feel your heart torn away
One look at you and I’m out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I’m twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
There’s too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of ’m were friends of mine, I was wrong about ’m all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside’s mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
