Cold Cream
Namosh Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Im gonna do it to you on friday night
The puppet on my right
Your hair by my side yeah
Im gonna do it to you
From now on every night
The puppet on my right
Your hair by my side oh
Now aint it funny babe
Its gone to reach you straight
Leave you in the dark
No shout
No walk
But Ill remember you
Yeah well remember you
Covered in and locked up in
Cccccccccc COLD CREAM
(cough along...)
The song "Cold Cream" by Namosh is a track that displays the themes of manipulation and control. The song starts with a somewhat ominous verse, "I'm gonna do it to you on Friday night/The puppet on my right/Your hair by my side yeah." The lines suggest that the singer is using the person beside them as a tool, a puppet, in their game of manipulation. The repetition of the phrase "I'm gonna do it to you" highlights the sense of control, and the fact that they are referring to the person as a puppet implies that they are being used to the singer's will. The line "Your hair by my side" could signify that this person is a partner in crime, or someone who has been coerced into following the singer's lead.
The chorus then switches to a more bitter, reflective tone, "But I'll remember you/Yeah, we'll remember you/Covered in and locked up in cold cream." It's a metaphor for the person's loss of agency, where the singer has stripped them of their own identity, and they are now trapped in "cold cream." Cold cream is a type of traditional facial cleanser that hardens and locks in all the dirt, grime, and impurities of a person's face. The metaphor of the person being locked up in the cream represents the singer's hold over them, where they have been stripped of their autonomy and covered in the singer's influence.
