Cellar Darling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am I dead?
Not yet...
Not yet...
Am I dead?
Am I dead?
Not yet...
I′m not dead, yet stone-cold, filled with regret
In my head only you
I see red, I hasten, urge to forget
Everything in my head
Will you with your breath
Now freeze me to death?
This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you?
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it's calling for you
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
I ascend these heights in search of an end
In my head only you
As I roam this cave in search of a friend
Of whom I require:
Will you with your breath
Now freeze me to death?
This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you?
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it′s calling for you
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
This transcendental eminence
Is it all in my head for you?
This fundamental resonance
How it rings, how it's calling for you
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
You, who I want to forget
Am I dead?
Am I dead?
Not yet...
Not yet...
Am I dead?
Am I dead?
Not yet...
Not yet...
The lyrics of Cellar Darling's song "Freeze" deal with the themes of regret and the desire to forget someone. The singer is stuck in their head, unable to stop thinking about the person they want to forget. They feel like they are not alive, just stone-cold and filled with regret. In the first stanza, they ask the question "Am I dead?" repeatedly and answer it with "Not yet...". This shows their desperation to break free from their thoughts and move on from the past.
The chorus is repeated multiple times throughout the song, with the line "You, who I want to forget" emphasizing the singer's struggle to let go of the memories they have with this person. They seek to find solace in the transcendental eminence (a state of being beyond the range of normal perception) but wonder if it's all just in their head. This fundamental resonance (a deep feeling of connection) that they feel for this person keeps calling out to them, no matter how hard they try to move on.
The second stanza incorporates the idea of searching for an end, with the singer ascending heights and roaming caves in search of someone they require. They plead for this person to freeze them to death with their breath, again showing their desire to stop feeling and thinking about the past.
Overall, the lyrics of "Freeze" paint a bleak picture of someone stuck in their head and unable to move on from someone they want to forget.

Una canción inquietante e introspectiva que explora temas de desapego emocional y la necesidad desesperada de olvidar a alguien que ha dejado un impacto duradero en la vida del narrador. La repetición de las líneas "¿Estoy muerto? ¿Estoy muerto? Aún no... Aún no..." crea una sensación inmediata de malestar e incertidumbre, sugiriendo que el narrador podría estar en un estado de limbo emocional.
La frase repetida "No estoy muerto, pero sí frío como una piedra, lleno de arrepentimiento" encapsula las emociones contradictorias dentro del narrador. Aunque reconocen que no están físicamente muertos, aún se sienten emocionalmente congelados y cargados de remordimiento. La línea "En mi cabeza solo tú, veo rojo, me apresuro, anhelo olvidar" significa que esta persona, a quien el narrador quiere olvidar, continúa persiguiéndolos mentalmente. El uso del color rojo transmite emociones intensas como la ira, la pasión y el dolor, sugiriendo que sus recuerdos de esta persona están cargados emocionalmente.
La súplica "¿Me congelarás hasta la muerte con tu aliento?" sugiere que el narrador está dispuesto a soportar cualquier dolor o sufrimiento si eso significa poder escapar del dominio que esta persona tiene sobre ellos. La metáfora de ser congelado hasta la muerte implica un deseo de insensibilidad emocional, una escapatoria de las abrumadoras emociones que están experimentando.
El estribillo encarna un sentido de anhelo de liberación y cierre. El narrador se pregunta si la profunda conexión que alguna vez tuvieron con esta persona fue puramente imaginaria, existiendo solo en su propia mente, preguntando: "¿Esta eminencia trascendental, está todo en mi cabeza para ti?" La palabra "trascendental" denota algo más allá de lo ordinario o terrenal, enfatizando aún más la intensidad y la importancia de la conexión que compartieron.
La línea "Tú, a quien quiero olvidar" se repite varias veces, enfatizando la lucha interna a la que se enfrenta el narrador. Se sienten atraídos y repelidos al mismo tiempo por esta persona, experimentando una dicotomía de deseos. Anhelan olvidarlos, pero su presencia aún está profundamente arraigada en los pensamientos y emociones del narrador.
El segundo verso continúa explorando la batalla interna. El narrador describe ascender a alturas metafóricas en busca de un final, sugiriendo una búsqueda de cierre o resolución. Sin embargo, reconocen que incluso en esta búsqueda, sus pensamientos están consumidos por la persona que desean olvidar. La línea "De quien requiero: ¿Me congelarás hasta la muerte con tu aliento?" acentúa aún más su anhelo de liberación y resalta la naturaleza paradójica de sus deseos.
A lo largo de la canción, la frase "Esta resonancia fundamental, cómo suena, cómo te llama" refuerza la idea de que la conexión entre el narrador y la persona que desean olvidar está profundamente arraigada. La palabra "resonancia" sugiere una vibración o impacto fuerte, indicando que la presencia de esta persona resuena dentro del narrador, causándoles angustia continua.
La repetición en el estribillo sirve para enfatizar el deseo del narrador de olvidar, subrayando su lucha interna. Las líneas de cierre, "Tú, a quien quiero olvidar, Tú, quiero olvidar" reflejan la repetición al comienzo de la canción, reforzando la naturaleza cíclica de sus emociones. A pesar del anhelo del narrador de seguir adelante y olvidar, su apego a esta persona sigue siendo una batalla continua.
En general, "Freeze" de Cellar Darling explora los conflictos emocionales experimentados después de que una relación significativa ha terminado. Sus letras introspectivas retratan la lucha de querer soltar y encontrar cierre mientras aún se siente la abrumadora presencia de esa persona en los pensamientos y recuerdos.
