Cold Irons Bound

Bob Dylan

I'm be

ginning to hear voices and there's no one around
now I'm all used up and the fields have turned brown
I went to church on Sunday and she passed by
and my love for her is taking such a long time to die

The wa
Em7
lls 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

There'
Em7
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

I found my

But your love

Oh, th

Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur exprime sa solitude et sa mélancolie, évoquant la perte d'un amour profond. Il se sent perdu, errant dans un paysage désolé, tandis que ses souvenirs l’assaillent. Les murs de l'orgueil semblent l'isoler, et il souffre de voir la beauté se faner autour de lui, à l'image de son cœur dévasté. Les villes, les visages et les amitiés qui l'entourent ne lui apportent plus de réconfort. Le contexte de cette chanson peut être interprété comme une réflexion sur la déception et la désillusion, un voyage intérieur où l'amour n’est plus réciproque. Le narrateur se sent emprisonné, tant par ses émotions que par un environnement qui semble hostile. C'est une quête d’amour et de sens dans un monde où il se sent déchiré et incompris.
