Cold
Dead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Breath is a drag yet everyone sigh
As the kids in the backyards are growing up high
Every gun's loaded the bottom is reached
We're buried in bars down on our knees
No fix for the pukers no shot for their fear
No oil in the ground no salt in our tears
Blood on a ceiling a cross on a wall
When Jericho's rising Babylon will fall
Out in the cold
Out in the cold
Out in the cold you better be bold
A taste of romance with a smell of disgrace
The city of hope is getting dirt in its face
Eden is doomed and paradise is cracked
Past is forgotten and the future is black
Everything's poisoned and bring us disease
We're crawling in mud and walking in grease
The king is on the rooftop burning his crown
The sun is rising and shit going down
Out in the cold
Out in the cold
Out in the cold you better be bold
Rain is falling and refilling the flood
The color is red from the spilling of blood
The heat's getting stronger the music's so loud
I'm one in a mass I'm alone in the crowd
Out in the cold




Out in the cold
Out in the cold you better be bold

Overall Meaning

The song "Cold Rain And Snow" by Dead and Company is a folk-blues song with strong traditional roots. The lyrics tell a story about a man who married a woman who has caused him nothing but trouble, eventually leading to his being forced out into the cold rain and snow. The lyrics are simple but poignant, with a sense of resignation and sadness running throughout.


The song's opening lines paint a vivid picture of a woman descending the stairs, her yellow hair flowing behind her. The singer then declares that he will not be treated this way anymore. The repetition of this phrase drives home the sense of frustration and defiance that the singer feels. In the second verse, the woman goes up to her room to sing her faithful tune, while the singer declares that he is going somewhere where those chilly winds don't blow. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for a place of warmth and comfort, free from the troubles and hardships of life.


The final verse reveals that the singer has married a troublesome wife who has run him out into the cold rain and snow. The repetition of the line "run me out in the cold rain and snow" adds to the sense of hopelessness and desperation, as if the singer is powerless to change his situation. The song ends with a final repetition of the same line, reinforcing the sense of defeat and sadness that the lyrics convey.


Overall, "Cold Rain And Snow" is a powerful and emotional song that speaks to the struggles and hardships of life.
