Cold Black Days
Atrocity Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get away and your life will be released
Give away all your dreams and all your sins

You are playing for forgiveness
You cry for help
When your life is over who can tell
You can't change anything
Your life is just a dream
Nothing real nothing more
Nothing left cause

These are cold black days and
You're fading away
Life cold dark nights
And you're longing for light
These are cold days
And you're running away
To be alive again
To be alive again

Look around emptiness and you are falling
Hear the sound the peal of bells is tolling
You remember sunny days these times are gone
All the lovely words are said and done
You can't change all the things
Your life is full of dreams




Nothing real nothing more
Nothing left cause

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Atrocity’s “Cold Black Days” express a sense of hopelessness and desperation in the face of life’s struggles. The opening lines implore the listener to “get away” and give away their dreams and sins in order to find peace. The song seems to be about feeling trapped and helpless, and the idea that even the act of seeking forgiveness or crying out for help may not make a difference in the end.


As the song progresses, the imagery becomes more stark and bleak. The lyrics speak of “cold black days” and “life cold dark nights,” and the sense of loneliness and despair is palpable. The idea of memories of happier times being “said and done” reinforces the idea that there is no escaping the current situation.


Ultimately, the song doesn’t offer any easy answers or solutions. The repeated line “to be alive again” suggests a longing for renewal or rebirth, but it’s unclear whether this is something that can truly be achieved. The lyrics in “Cold Black Days” seem to capture the sense of hopelessness that can come with feeling trapped in a difficult situation, and the feeling that there may be no way out.
