Cold
Emir Taha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I get numb when it's freezing
Winter, summer, 4 seasons nah
I'm awake when you're sleeping
Different time zone on weekends now
Different line for no reason,
Got no data I'm breaching nah
Tell me why you afraid x 2
Scan me twice X ray,
Tryna stop me get paid,
Double checking my name,
Double checking my name

Everybody I see,
Cold
In a foreign country
Cold,
When did all the world freeze,
Cold,
(dananana x 2)
Cold
(dananana x 2)
Cold,
Everybody's icy
Cold
Looking at their time piece,
Cold
Forget about the world peace


It's a lotta lira lira for a dollar dollar
Made it all the way here what's the bother bother,
I got 4, 5 boys waiting at the border,
I only like it here cause the weathers warmer
I've been honest,
But you don't understand,
Go and call your man,
Go and call your man,

Everybody I see,
Cold
In a foreign country
Cold,
When did all the world freeze,
Cold,
(dananana x 2)
Cold
(dananana x 2)
Cold,
Everybody's icy
Cold
Looking at their time piece,




Cold
Forget about the world peace

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Emir Taha's song "Cold" describe feeling emotionally detached and numb, regardless of the weather, time or season. The singer expresses his sense of isolation and alienation, especially in a foreign country where he feels everyone is cold and distant. He also talks about the struggles of being identified and verified, both physically and digitally, which is a clear indication of the state of surveillance that society is in. In the chorus, the song repeats "cold" as a symbol of the emotional void and disconnection that the singer is experiencing.


The lines "Everybody I see, Cold, In a foreign country, Cold, When did all the world freeze, Cold," can be interpreted in two ways. Firstly, they talk about the lack of warmth and connection the singer feels with other people around him. Secondly, they allude to the coldness of the world and how it has become an unfriendly place. The bridge of the song seems to be about the cost of chasing money and the emotional toll it takes. The singer mentions how hard he worked to get where he is and expresses his frustration at those who do not understand his hard work.


Some people might relate to the lyrics of the song in different ways. The song speaks to those who are feeling disconnected, those who feel out of place and those who have sacrificed so much to achieve their dreams. It is a reflection of the world that is not very connected or kind. The song is a reminder that we need to recognize and empathize with our fellow humans.

Yurtdışında yaşayan biri olarak şarkının sözleri ayrı bir anlamlı geliyor.

@mervepekoz4932

Bu şarkı da yurt dışına çıktığımızda pasaportumuzu görüp pimpiriklenen, arayıp tarayıp zaman kaybettiren, "dünya barışı" konusunu sırt çantamızla ilerlerken bir kez daha sorgulatan havayolu çalışanlarına gelsin.
