Frozen
Alicia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

By Antaeus’ hands
Placed on frozen lands
Mind your steps my friend
For we’re at journey’s end

Deep down the darksome well
And far beneath the giant’s feet
A depth so deep, no light can reach
The sinners of Treachery

Here behold a thousand faces
Purple, cold and locked in places
Feeling naught but cold embraces

Betrayers to their lords
Lay far below
Denied all warmth
As they are trapped
Beneath the waters
Frozen by the beating of Satan’s wings

(Caina)
(Antenora)
(Ptolomaea)
(Judecca)

(Caina)
The coldest place in hell is reserved
(Antenora)
For betrayers
And oath breakers
(Ptolomaea)
The love that you threw away, entrusted in you
(Judecca)
For that
You’ll freeze
You’ll never

Feel a warm embrace again
among the talking heads
(Love deniers)
Pulling at hair tied together

Feel it grip around your neck
No longer countrymen
(Oh, Remorseless)
Deeper in ice to serve your kin

Feel love denied in death
For betraying your friends and guests
(Disregarded hospitality)
Feel the beat of Satan’s wings

Twisted deep beneath the ice
All is silent
(Crystalline tears line your vision)
Punishing those of your excision, --- Punishing those who watch,

(Round 1)
Bow together
(Round 2)
Cannibalism
(Round 3)
The more you weep the more your tears shall freeze
(Round 4)
Twisted Visions
(Beneath The Ice)
Utter Immobility
(Not even death)
Awaits your soul to be claimed with the likes of
(Traitors)
Vexilla
(Treason)
Regis
(Traditrici)
Prodeunt
(Traditori)
Inferni
(Caina)
Betray your family
(Antenora)
Tojan Loyalty
(Ptolomaea)
Heinously lie supine
(Judecca)
You’ll Never

As the banners of the king of hell draw closer
The banners of the king of hell draw closer
From the gates of hell you’ve been scorned
From the gates of hell you’ve been warned
(Abandon)
Abandon all hope
(Ye Who)
Ye who enter in

Beyond the silent realm of tortured souls with no horizon
Lies another beast of a great misfortune
(He’s never redeemable)
Until the end of time

Ecco dite, ed ecco il loco ove convien che di fortezza t'armi
Lo ‘mperador del doloroso regno

(Behold the king of hell)

Once the brightest star to see
Beauty grace and harmony
Bound in frozen Lake Cocytus
Father of all sin

Although your pride was blossoming
You were truly lost within
You portrayed the greatest flaws
That led us to our sins

Now you’re locked and encased in ice
Frozen for the rest of time
The face upon your neck be thrice
The torment

Black

Red, white and yellow
Down 3 chins fell bloody drivel
Gigantic wings of all the seas doth he could sail

From three mouths he feeds on sinners
And from six eyes he weeps and withers
Congealed in lake Cocytus
And from silence black
In pain they writhe
Clawing, scratching, Exposing spines
The one in the greatest of pain deep within hell resides
Our journey must end and we must return to the light
For we know what lies below in eternal night

(Lo ‘mperador del doloroso regno
Da mezzo ‘l petto uscia fuor de la ghiaccia
E piu’ con un gigante io mi convegno

Che I giganti non fan con le sue braccia
Vedi oggamai quant’esser dee quel tutto
Ch’a cosi’ fatta parte si confaccia

S’el fu si’ bel com’ellie’ ora brutto
E contra ‘l suo fattore alzo’ le ciglia
Ben dee da lui proceder ogne lutto

For the souls with wasted lives
seeking passage through me

Per me si va ne la citta’ dolente
Per me si va ne l’etterno dolore
Per me si va tra la perduta gente

Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore
Fecemi la divina podestate
La somma Sapienza e ‘l primo amore

Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create




Se non etterne, e io etterno duro
Lasciate ogne Speranza, voi ch’intrate)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Alicia's song "Frozen" delve into the concept of betrayal and its consequences. The imagery used in the song is inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy, specifically the circles of Hell, with references to various named regions within Hell. The song begins with a warning to mind one's steps as they venture toward the end of a journey. It describes a dark and deep well, hidden beneath the feet of a giant, where the sinners of Treachery reside. These sinners, depicted as faces locked in cold places, have betrayed their lords and are denied warmth and trapped beneath frozen waters, a punishment inflicted by Satan's wings.


The song highlights the different regions of Hell where traitors and oath breakers are condemned. "Caina," the coldest place in Hell, is reserved for betrayers, "Antenora" for oath breakers, "Ptolomaea" for those who have thrown away entrusted love, and "Judecca" for betraying family, to the point where they will never feel warmth or a warm embrace again. The lyrics describe the punishments that await these sinners, such as being attacked by frozen tears and being twisted deep beneath the ice. The song also depicts cannibalistic acts and the freezing of tears as the more the sinners weep.


As the banners of the king of Hell draw closer, the warning to abandon hope is repeated. The lyrics also acknowledge another beast of misfortune beyond the realm of tortured souls, one that is never redeemable. The song ends with a reference to the torment and imprisonment of Satan, the once brightest star, who is now bound in frozen Lake Cocytus, the father of all sin. The lyrics highlight the consequences of pride and the flaws that led humanity to sin.


Line by Line Meaning

By Antaeus’ hands
Guided by the strength of Antaeus


Placed on frozen lands
Set upon desolate and icy terrain


Mind your steps my friend
Be cautious as you journey


For we’re at journey’s end
Our path has reached its conclusion


Deep down the darksome well
Descending into a sinister abyss


And far beneath the giant’s feet
Below the towering figure's presence


A depth so deep, no light can reach
A profound darkness devoid of illumination


The sinners of Treachery
Where the betrayers suffer their fate


Here behold a thousand faces
Witness the multitude of tormented souls


Purple, cold and locked in places
Trapped and frozen in despair


Feeling naught but cold embraces
Only greeted by frigid and lifeless embraces


Betrayers to their lords
Those who have betrayed their masters


Lay far below
Reside deep within


Denied all warmth
Deprived of any warmth


As they are trapped
Caught and confined


Beneath the waters
Submerged beneath the icy waters


Frozen by the beating of Satan’s wings
Petrified by the powerful wrath of Satan


The coldest place in hell is reserved
The most frigid domain of the underworld is designated for


For betrayers
Those who have betrayed


And oath breakers
And those who have violated their promises


The love that you threw away, entrusted in you
The love that you discarded, entrusted to your care


For that
Because of that


You’ll freeze
You will experience the icy grip of punishment


You’ll never
You will never


Feel a warm embrace again
Experience the warmth of an embrace once more


among the talking heads
Amidst the deceitful and manipulative individuals


Pulling at hair tied together
Engaging in destructive actions against one another


Feel it grip around your neck
Sense the suffocating hold around your throat


No longer countrymen
No longer united as a community


Deeper in ice to serve your kin
Further engulfed in frozen servitude to your own kind


Feel love denied in death
Experience the absence of love even in death


For betraying your friends and guests
As a consequence for betraying those who trusted and welcomed you


Feel the beat of Satan’s wings
Perceive the ominous presence and power of Satan


Twisted deep beneath the ice
Distorted and tormented far below the frozen surface


All is silent
Complete silence surrounds


Crystalline tears line your vision
Tears freeze and obstruct your sight


Punishing those of your excision,
Inflicting punishment upon those who watch, observe


Bow together
Submit and kneel in unison


Cannibalism
Devouring one another


The more you weep the more your tears shall freeze
The more you cry, the more your tears will turn into ice


Twisted Visions
Distorted and nightmarish visions


Utter Immobility
Absolute incapacity to move or escape


Not even death
Even in death

Your soul awaits to be taken alongside

You’ll Never
You will never


As the banners of the king of hell draw closer
As the flags representing the ruler of hell approach


From the gates of hell you’ve been scorned
Rejected and despised from the entrance of hell


From the gates of hell you’ve been warned
Cautioned and alerted from the entrance of hell


Abandon all hope
Give up on any hope


Ye who enter in
Those who venture inside


Beyond the silent realm of tortured souls with no horizon
Past the realm of tormented and voiceless souls without any hope


Lies another beast of a great misfortune
Exists another horrifying creature of immense calamity


Until the end of time
For an eternity


Behold the king of hell
Witness the ruler of the underworld


Once the brightest star to see
Formerly the most radiant and glorious being


Beauty grace and harmony
Exemplifying beauty, elegance, and harmony


Bound in frozen Lake Cocytus
Trapped within the icy depths of Lake Cocytus


Father of all sin
Originator of all wrongdoing


Although your pride was blossoming
Despite your arrogance flourishing


You were truly lost within
You were truly misguided and confused


You portrayed the greatest flaws
You exemplified the most significant flaws


That led us to our sins
That guided us towards our transgressions


Now you’re locked and encased in ice
Now you are trapped and imprisoned in ice


Frozen for the rest of time
Forever frozen in eternal time


The face upon your neck be thrice
The face upon your neck represents threefold agony


The torment
The relentless suffering


Black
Dark and sorrowful


Red, white and yellow
Symbolizing bloodshed, purity, and cowardice


Down 3 chins fell bloody drivel
Bloody drool spills from three chins


Gigantic wings of all the seas doth he could sail
Enormous wings capable of traversing all the oceans


From three mouths he feeds on sinners
Feeding on sinners with his three mouths


And from six eyes he weeps and withers
Crying and decaying from his six eyes


Congealed in lake Cocytus
Frozen within Lake Cocytus


And from silence black
And from the darkness of silence


In pain they writhe
They writhe in agony


Clawing, scratching, Exposing spines
Clawing, scratching, Exposing their gnarled spines


The one in the greatest of pain deep within hell resides
The one suffering the most resides deep within hell


Our journey must end and we must return to the light
Our journey is concluding and we must go back to the world of the living


For we know what lies below in eternal night
For we are aware of the eternal darkness that awaits below


Da mezzo ‘l petto uscia fuor de la ghiaccia
Emerging from the icy chest


E piu’ con un gigante io mi convegno
And even more with a giant I encounter


Che I giganti non fan con le sue braccia
Than the giants could do with their arms


Vedi oggamai quant’esser dee quel tutto
Now you see how immense it truly is


Ch’a cosi’ fatta parte si confaccia
That it matches such a large entity


S’el fu si’ bel com’ellie’ ora brutto
If it was once as beautiful as it is now hideous


E contra ‘l suo fattore alzo’ le ciglia
And raised its gaze against its Creator


Ben dee da lui proceder ogne lutto
Indeed, all misery must come from Him


For the souls with wasted lives
For the souls who have led wasted lives


seeking passage through me
Searching for redemption through my guidance


Per me si va ne la citta’ dolente
Through me, one enters the city of sorrow


Per me si va ne l’etterno dolore
Through me, one enters eternal suffering


Per me si va tra la perduta gente
Through me, one goes among the lost people


Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore
Divine justice moved my supreme Creator


Fecemi la divina podestate
The supreme power made me


La somma Sapienza e ‘l primo amore
The ultimate Wisdom and the first Love


Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
Before me, nothing was created


Se non etterne, e io etterno duro
Except eternal things, and I endure eternally


Lasciate ogne Speranza, voi ch’intrate
Abandon all hope, you who enter
