Cold
French for Rabbits Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how it doesn't seem right
You should keep me warm
Like you're the sun and I'm a bare bone
But I'm cold
You can see the way the pieces fit
They're sparkling somebody's eyes
They never have to question why
But I'm cold
But I'm cold
But I'm cold
Je pense à cela tout le temps
Et comment ça ne semble pas juste
Tu devrais me réchauffer
Comme si tu étais le soleil et que je suis un os nu
Mais j'ai froid
Tu peux voir comment les pièces s'emboîtent
Du granite dans du granite
Ils scintillent dans les yeux de quelqu'un
Ils n'ont jamais besoin de se poser de questions
Mais j'ai froid
Mais j'ai froid
Mais j'ai froid

Line by Line Meaning
I think about it all the time
My mind is consumed by thoughts of my current situation
And how it doesn't seem right
My instinct tells me that something is not quite right
You should keep me warm
I need you to provide me with emotional comfort and support
Like you're the sun and I'm a bare bone
I am emotionally vulnerable and need you to be my source of warmth and nourishment
But I'm cold
Despite my desire for warmth, I am still feeling emotionally cold and distant
You can see the way the pieces fit
Some people are fortunate enough to easily understand or find their place in life
Granite into granite
They fit together perfectly and are strong and stable like a rock
They're sparkling somebody's eyes
Their success and satisfaction is visible and admired by others
They never have to question why
Their purpose in life seems clear and they don't doubt their path
But I'm cold
Despite others seeming to have it all figured out, I am still feeling emotionally distant and unfulfilled
But I'm cold
My emotional state remains the same, despite the happiness or success of others
But I'm cold
Emphasizing the repeated feeling of feeling emotionally distant and unhappy
