Stone Cold
Elli Ingram Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There are bones of a node lovers once said
The time don't give in, this is it
Every bright light's on your hips
So easy when you're loving him

So where would I be if I followed your breeze?
Would I end up sailing seas?
In waters so deep, not a second to breathe
Would you end up saving me?

Oh, I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields

It's easy to lie down with your skin
Until you start feeding me lessons
Oh, how do I hold on
When you're nothing but an empty dream?

So where would I be if I followed your breeze?
Would I end up sailing seas?
In waters so deep, not a second to breathe
Would you end up saving me?

Oh, I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields

Ooh ooh, hands are to hold
But your hands are cold as ice
Why do I try to fight?
Will I get out alive?
With you, I think the light just has to be good night

'Cause I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields

There are bones of a node (ocean)




There are bones of a node (ocean)
There are bones of a node (ocean)

Overall Meaning

In Elli Ingram's song Stone Cold, the lyrics paint a picture of a tumultuous relationship where one party is struggling to hold on while the other is letting go. The line "There are bones of a node lovers once said" suggests that the relationship was once strong and unbreakable, but the passage of time has eroded its foundation. The singer questions whether they would find themselves lost at sea if they followed their partner's whims and whether their partner would be able to rescue them. They dream of a brighter day and someone who can help them be a fighter when they feel like they are "stone cold running through the battlefields."


Line by Line Meaning

There are bones of a node lovers once said
There are remnants of a past relationship that seemed indestructible


The time don't give in, this is it
Time moves on and this is the present reality


Every bright light's on your hips
You're the center of attention


So easy when you're loving him
You lose yourself in a relationship when things are easy


So where would I be if I followed your breeze?
What would happen if I followed your lead?


Would I end up sailing seas?
Would I end up in unfamiliar territory?


In waters so deep, not a second to breathe
In a situation that's overwhelming


Would you end up saving me?
Would you help me when I need it most?


Oh, I've been dreaming of a brighter day
I have hope for a better future


And you've been painted in a shade of grey
You're not the vibrant person you used to be


Oh, I need someone to help me be
I need someone to support me


A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields
I need someone to help me remain resilient when times are tough


It's easy to lie down with your skin
It's easy to be attracted to someone's appearance


Until you start feeding me lessons
Until I start realizing things aren't as they seem


Oh, how do I hold on
How do I continue to believe in you?


When you're nothing but an empty dream?
When you're nothing but an illusion?


Ooh ooh, hands are to hold
Hands are meant to be held


But your hands are cold as ice
You're detached and unfeeling


Why do I try to fight?
Why do I bother trying to make this work?


Will I get out alive?
Will I get through this and come out okay?


With you, I think the light just has to be good night
You're not good for me


'Cause I've been dreaming of a brighter day
I still believe things can get better


And you've been painted in a shade of grey
You're not the vibrant person you used to be


Oh, I need someone to help me be
I need support from someone else


A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields
I need someone to help me remain resilient


There are bones of a node (ocean)
There are remnants of a past relationship that seemed indestructible


There are bones of a node (ocean)
There are remnants of a past relationship that seemed indestructible


There are bones of a node (ocean)
There are remnants of a past relationship that seemed indestructible

[Verse 1]
The bones of an old lover once said
That time don't give in, this is it
Every ? lies on your hips
So easy when you're loving him

[Pre-Chorus]
So where would I be if I followed your breeze
Would I end up sailing seas?
In waters so deep, not a second to breathe
Would you end up saving me?

[Chorus]
Oh, I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields

[Verse 2]
It's easy to lie down with your skin
Until you start feeding me your sins
Oh, how do I hold on
When you're nothing but an empty dream

[Pre-Chorus]
So where would I be if I followed your breeze
Would I end up sailing seas?
In waters so deep, not a second to breathe
Would you end up saving me?

[Chorus]
Oh, I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields

[Bridge]
Hands are to hold
But your hands are cold as ice
Why do I try to fight
Will I get out alive?
With you, I think the light just has to be good night

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been dreaming of a brighter day
And you've been painted in a shade of grey
Oh, I need someone to help me be
A fighter when I'm stone cold running through the battlefields
