Army of Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It doesn't hurt no more no.
I feel nothing, and it's so cold here.
It's like I'm waiting waiting.
And in my mind, I'm still debating.
Must we do, what must we do?
I'm frozen, brittle, broken
Oh no, it's falling all to pieces.
The floor's dropped out from beneath us.
I don't know where we might land.
It's like I'm waiting waiting.
And in my mind, I'm still debating.
Must we do, what must we do?
I'm frozen
A wish for spring
A heart to ache.
I'm still tucked in, barely awake.
It's cold outside, January's grip.
The wind will stab my bleeding lip.
Singing, I'm freezing.
I'm frozen
Hit me with your million dollar smile.
Am millimeter's gonna take you a mile.
Too bad pretty's just fake ugly, too bad.
Too bad pretty's just fake ugly, too bad.
'Cause at the end of time, your bones look just like mine.
Too bad pretty's just fake ugly.
Too bad.
Hit me with you're million dollar smile.
A millimeter's gonna take you a mile.
Your new flesh is so appealing.
The lyrics of Army of Me's song Frozen convey a feeling of emotional numbness and hopelessness. The singer seems to have resigned themselves to a state of frozenness, both physically and emotionally. The lines "It doesn't work no more no / It doesn't hurt no more no" suggest a sense of detachment and a lack of feeling. The repetition of "I'm frozen, brittle, broken" reinforces this feeling of being trapped or stuck in a state of misery.
Throughout the song, the singer frames their situation as waiting, debating, and questioning what they must do to escape from their current state. The lines "Must we do, what must we do?" emphasize their desperation to break free. The wish for spring and heartache imply a longing for something more, while the image of being stuck outside in January's grip suggests a feeling of being exposed and vulnerable.
The final lines, "Hit me with your million dollar smile / A millimeter's gonna take you a mile / Your new flesh is so appealing," suggest a sense of bitterness and resentment. The singer seems to be criticizing society's obsession with superficial beauty and how it masks deeper, more profound issues.
Overall, the song Frozen portrays a feeling of being stuck and unable to move forward, with a sense of frustration and desperation to escape.
