Mouths Join In The Cold
Adair Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the snow,angel lay.Mouths join in the cold.
Whispers lie as they say you will never go.
Memories,empty sheets,they will smother me.
Wrap me up,the deceased,underneath the frozen sea.

Murder me.

I'm sorry that I can't seem to forget you.
I'm sorry tha I ever let you down.
Does this epic ever have an ending?
It just begins again,right now.

Worlds away.Empty fights.You can drop your guns.
Souveniers.Foreign nights.The damage has been done.
With no trace.With no trace.I will disappear.
Fade away,with no trace,like I was never here.

It just begins.
Over and over.

She sold you out,she sold you out.
And now you'll never be the same.

(Finale)
Now that we're done,
Now that we're over,
I find myself back at the start,
In Eden with you three years ago.

The edge of our lives,
The edge of a knife that
Cut from across the world.
The five becomes ten,the ten:forever.

And as this new life
Begins from a distance,
I'm staring across the sky.
Longing for you.





Longing for all we left behind.

Overall Meaning

In Adair's song, "Mouths Join In The Cold," the lyrics tell a story of heartbreak and betrayal. The song opens with the image of an angel laid out in the snow, as mouths "join in the cold" with whispers of never letting the subject go. Memories and empty sheets smother the singer, who wishes to be wrapped up and buried beneath the frozen sea. Suddenly, the tone of the lyrics changes with the command "murder me" as if the weight of the heartbreak is too much to bear.


The singer expresses regret for not being able to forget the person who hurt them and apologizes for letting them down. The damage has been done, their fight futile. The singer is resigned to fade away with no trace of ever having been there at all. The repetition of "it just begins" hints at a cycle of heartbreak and betrayal the singer cannot escape.


The song ends with the singer back at the start, in Eden, longing for all they left behind. The final lines give a sense of longing for something they can never quite reach. The song is a poignant commentary on the pain of betrayal and how it can continue to haunt someone long after the fact.
