- Cowboys LyricsDid you sweep us far from your feet?
Reset in stone this stark belief
Salted eyes and a sordid dye
Too many years
But don't despair
This day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
Did you feed us tales of deceit?
Conceal the tongues who need to speak
Subtle lies and a soiled coin, the truth is sold
The deal is done
But don't despair
This day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
Undefined, no signs of regret
Your swollen pride assumes respect
Talons fly as a last disguise
But no return, the time has come
So don't despair
This day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
Oh, if you take these things from me
Reset in stone this stark belief
Salted eyes and a sordid dye
Too many years
But don't despair
This day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
Did you feed us tales of deceit?
Conceal the tongues who need to speak
Subtle lies and a soiled coin, the truth is sold
The deal is done
But don't despair
Oh, if you take these things from me
Undefined, no signs of regret
Your swollen pride assumes respect
Talons fly as a last disguise
But no return, the time has come
So don't despair
This day will be the damnedest day
Oh, if you take these things from me
Oh, if you take these things from me

When we look deeper into its meaning, in the song "Cowboys" which has been performed by Portishead with the assistance of Nick Ingman and Orchestra, it is mainly about getting feelings of betrayal and deception from a person who was trusted and then the lyrics show the person teeth and that he/she is ready to take the consequences and even though there are challenges, he/she is going to face them with no loss of hope or despair Cowboys lyrics are mainly about despair, angst, hope, empowerment and inspiration. The song, at the same time, depicts the struggle between betrayal and deceit, resilience and hope, and pride and regret.
