Life Magazine
Cold Cave Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
then there was a hole
I crawl back and put a knock upon your door
but there was no one home
I'm not going back
I climb clouds to the bluest of the sky
I rain my love to the heads that breathe below
but none of them cared
I'm not going back
The lyrics of Cold Cave's song "Life Magazine" are rife with images of a search for significance in a world that seems to ignore the singer's existence. The singer describes digging down to the center of the earth and finding a hole, implying that he has uncovered some hidden truth but that it ultimately leads nowhere. Crawling back up to the surface and knocking on a door that no one answers, the singer is left with the impression that he is adrift in the world with no one to turn to.
The second verse describes a similar search, this time reaching for the sky only to find emptiness. The singer rains his love down on those around him, desperately seeking some sort of connection, but finds only indifference. Throughout the song, there is a sense of disconnection and isolation, a feeling that the singer is searching for something that he may never find.
Overall, "Life Magazine" is a poignant reflection on the human condition and our collective search for meaning in a world that often seems indifferent to our existence. The images of digging, climbing, and raining love are all powerful symbols of our attempts to uncover some greater truth or connection, but ultimately, the song suggests that the search may be futile.
