Cold like the heart of men
Bears of Legend Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay there where you sleep,
It's all that you need.
I wait on the timing to wake you a day that is good.

Now for sure we can't,
Tommorow we might
Be able to give you a dream in the palm of your hand.
You'll grow in the valley just like the trees
And just like the trees, they won't let you breathe.
Here in the city, the morning is cold,
The morning is cold like the heart of men.

Long before your time,
You've learned how to lie.
It flows in your skin like a river that's blown by the wind.

Now grown into a man,
The best that you can.
It won't be enough for the world to be loving you blind.

'Cause you'll grow in the valley just like the trees
And just like the trees, they won't let you breathe.
Here in the city, the morning is cold,
The morning is cold like the heart of men.

Then we'll make our peace from hopes and beliefs
That all that we share stays in your heart,
Upon your flesh that your dad has done all that he could.

We'll look at the stars and lay in the snow
To find out how we could leave something behind
That shines and won't melt this time.

'Cause you'll grow in the valley just like the trees
And just like the trees, they won't let you breathe.




Here in the city, the morning is cold,
The morning is cold like the heart of men.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bears of Legend's song "Cold like the heart of men" are complex and nuanced, with different layers of meaning embedded within them. The song seems to be about the difficulties of growing up in a harsh and unforgiving world, where people can be cruel and heartless. The singer of the song is advised to stay in his sleep, to wait until a good day comes along when he can wake up and face the world. The lyrics suggest that this is a strategy for survival, a way of dealing with the harshness of the world.


As the song progresses, the singer grows older and faces more challenges. He learns how to lie and deceive, but the lyrics suggest that he finds this difficult and it weighs heavily on his conscience. Eventually, he becomes a man and tries his best to navigate the world, but it seems that this is not enough. The lyrics imply that the world is a cruel and unforgiving place, and that even the most loving and kind people can be blinded by their own biases and prejudices.


The central metaphor of the song is the image of trees growing in a valley. The singer is compared to these trees, which are struggling to survive in a hostile environment. The trees are unable to breathe, just as the singer is unable to find a way to thrive in the world. The coldness of the morning in the city is used as a metaphor for the coldness of the human heart.
