So Cold
Ben Cocks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where you're standing
On your own
It's so quiet here
And I feel so cold
This house no longer
Feels like home

Ooh, mm
Ooh, mm

Oh, when you told me you'd leave
I felt like I couldn't breath
My aching body fell to the floor
Then I called you at home
You said that you weren't alone
I should've known better
Now it hurts much more

Ooh, mm
Ooh, mm

You caused my heart to bleed and
You still owe me a reason
'Cause I can't figure out why
Why I'm alone and freezin'
While you're in the bed that she's in
And I'm just left alone to cry

Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh
Ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh
Ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh
Ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh-whoa-oh
Oh-whoa-oh
Ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

You caused my heart to bleed and (oh-whoa-oh)
You still owe me a reason (oh-whoa-oh)
'Cause I can't figure out why (ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
You caused my heart to bleed and (oh-whoa-oh)
You still owe me a reason (oh-whoa-oh)
'Cause I can't figure out why (ah-yeah-ah-yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

Oh, you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where your standing
On your own
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold




This house no longer
Feels like home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Ben Cocks's song "So Cold" are a representation of heartbreak and loss. The singer feels abandoned and unheard as they grieve the end of a relationship. The opening lines, "Oh, you can't hear me cry, see my dreams all die," convey the sense of isolation that the singer is feeling. Despite their pain, the person they are addressing is oblivious to it as they are "standing on [their] own." The haunting repetition of "oh" and "mm" adds to the desolate feeling of the song.


Then the song takes a turn as we get a glimpse into the moment when the relationship ended. The line "when you told me you'd leave, I felt like I couldn't breathe" adds a physical dimension to the emotional pain that the singer is experiencing. They then go on to describe how they reached out to their former partner, only to be told that they weren't alone. This line amplifies the feeling of betrayal that the singer is feeling as they realize that their ex-partner has already moved on.


Finally, the song ends with a repetition of the opening refrain, highlighting the singer's feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. They are left alone in a now unfamiliar house, feeling cold and abandoned, unable to understand why things turned out the way they did.


Overall, the lyrics to "So Cold" are a powerful representation of the pain of a relationship ending, and the feelings of isolation and confusion that can come with it.

I felt like I couldn't breathe
The anguish and pain were so unbearable, that it felt like the very air had been sucked from my lungs.


My aching body fell to the floor

I am at a loss, unable to comprehend why the person I loved and trusted would betray me in such a callous way.


Why I'm alone and freezin'
I am left to suffer the consequences of your actions, alone and exposed to the harsh reality of the world.


While you're in the bed that she's in
You have moved on, comfortably nestled in the arms of someone new, with no regard for the devastation you have caused me.


And I'm just left alone to cry
I am left to pick up the pieces of my shattered heart, my tears the only comfort left to me.

Oh, you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where you're standing
On your own
It's so quiet here
And I feel so cold
This house no longer
Feels like home

Oh, when you told me you'd leave
I felt like I couldn't breath
My aching body fell to the floor
Then I called you at home
You said that you weren't alone
I should've known better
Now it hurts much more

You caused my heart to bleed and
You still owe me a reason
I can't figure out why
Why I'm alone and freezing
While you're in the bed that she's in
I'm just left alone to cry

You caused my heart to bleed and
You still awe me a reason
I can't figure out why
You caused my heart to bleed and
You still awe me a reason
I can't figure out why

Oh, you can't hear me cry
See my dreams all die
From where you standing
On your own
It's so quiet here and I feel so cold
This house no lounger
Feels like home

I left a comment here a couple years ago
I was in the middle of depression
I completely lost myself
I hated myself
I hurt myself on purpose because I thought I deserved it

It's two years later
I still have major flaws I need to work on
I still have problems with myself
I still need to find myself again

But I am two years clean of harming myself
That is a huge milestone for me
The most fucked up thing is I'm only 14 now :(
So to me : you got yourself out of a hard situation, you battled self hatred
You should be EXTATIC with yourself because you're a fucking legend and I love you:) take it easy of yourself
