Frozen
麦当娜Madonna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret. You're broken
When your heart's not open
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold
The key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same, if I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die, you're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mm, hmm
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold
The key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mm, hmm
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold the key (Mm, hmm)
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold
The key
If I could melt your heart
The lyrics to Madonna’s song “Frozen” speak to the isolation that can result from emotional detachment. The opening lines, “You only see what your eyes want to see / How can life be what you want it to be? / You're frozen / When your heart's not open,” suggest that the singer is feeling stuck and disconnected from the world because she is unable to experience it fully. She feels frozen, as if she is unable to move or engage with life because her heart is closed off.
The second verse takes a more critical tone, as the singer seems to be addressing someone else, telling them that they are “so consumed with how much you get / You waste your time with hate and regret. You're broken / When your heart's not open.” Here, the singer seems to be critiquing someone else’s materialism and their inability to move beyond negative emotions.
The chorus contrasts the coldness and detachment of the verses, as Madonna sings, “If I could melt your heart / We'd never be apart / Give yourself to me / You hold the key.” This suggests that the singer believes that emotional openness is the key to overcoming isolation and disconnection.
The final verse repeats the sentiments of the opening lines, reminding listeners that “Love is a bird, she needs to fly / Let all the hurt inside of you die, you're frozen / When your heart's not open.” The song ends with an emotional plea to the listener, “If I could melt your heart / We'd never be apart / Give yourself to me / You hold the key.”

I'm not a Madonna fan except for some great songs. But this is a masterpiece, an absolute pinnacle. This is not dance, this is a dark hypnotic poetry
