Still Cold
Mazzy Star Lyrics

Mazzy Star's hauntingly beautiful 'Still Cold' is a song about a relationship that ended in pain and about moving on from it. The song has a repetitive undertone that gives the impression of someone caught in a cycle of heartache. The opening lyrics talk about the person being left behind, someone who had their heart broken a million times. They are left in the moonlight, a metaphor for being left out in the cold and without any warmth. The following line - "how comes always someone else driving your car" - suggests that the person who left had someone else who was willing to take them away from their life of heartache. The image of them being taken different places in the sunlight is a metaphor for the person moving on and finding a new life without their old relationship.

The refrain, "Still cold like the stars, that's just the way you are" is a statement about the person that left. They have a coldness and a distance about them that doesn't allow them to connect with others. They may have a hard exterior, but that's just who they are. The line "You used to say your heart felt like a stone" is the singer's way of remembering the person they once knew. The phrase suggests that the person was once hardened to the world around them and unwilling to let anyone in. However, as the song progresses, the person finds everything that they had ever wanted, but despite that, they remain cold and distant from the ones they love.
