Life Got Cold
Girls Aloud Lyrics

Oh yeah
Acknowledging the situation described in the song and agreeing with it.

We text as we eat
We are so addicted to our phones that we can't even wait to finish our meals before checking them.

As we listen to the freaks
We're also entertained and distracted by the strange and unusual things happening around us.

As we wait for the right of way
We're constantly waiting for some external permission or opportunity before moving forward with our lives.

We text as we talk
We're barely present in our conversations with others; we're too busy texting or checking our phones.

We're running as we walk
We're always in a hurry, even if we're just walking from one place to another.

Cause we surf our little souls away
We spend so much time online or on our devices that we're neglecting our own souls or spirits.

We smoke as we choke
We engage in destructive or unhealthy behaviors, even when they're obviously harming us.

As we sink another coke
We're also numbing ourselves with drugs or alcohol to avoid facing our problems or emotions.

And we grin when it blows our mind
We're attracted to experiences or sensations that are extreme or mind-altering, even if they're ultimately harmful or dangerous.

We skate as we date
We're gliding along the surface of life, not engaging in any deep or meaningful relationships.

As we slowly suffocate
We're also slowly killing ourselves or depriving ourselves of oxygen or life.

We're running, we're running, we're running out of time
We're so caught up in our distractions and addictions that we're losing sight of the bigger picture and the limited amount of time we have in life.

My life got cold
The realization that something important in one's life has been lost or is missing.

It happened many years ago
This feeling of emptiness or coldness started a long time ago and has been festering inside for a while now.

When summer slipped away
When something good and warm was lost or taken away from us.

So chill now whoa
Accepting the situation as it is and trying to remain calm despite it all.

We've gotten many years to go
Despite the lost time and the feelings of emptiness, there are still many years left to live and make things better.

So take it day by day
Instead of trying to fix everything at once, just focus on taking small steps each day towards healing and happiness.

And long ago I lost my soul
Feeling disconnected from oneself and the world, as if one's soul has been missing for a long time.

To some forgotten dream
The cause of this feeling of loss or disconnection is some unfulfilled or unremembered dream or aspiration.

But how was I supposed to know
The artist didn't realize at the time that this dream was so important and that it would have such a powerful impact on their life.

It wasn't what it seamed
This dream or aspiration turned out to be different or less fulfilling than what the singer originally thought it would be.

And even though the last to know
Despite being the last person to realize the true nature of this dream or aspiration, the artist is still affected by it.

Has left me on the floor
This realization has been so painful and overwhelming that it has literally knocked the singer down.

I don't believe in Romeo's and heroes anymore
The singer has lost faith in the idea of love and romance, as well as the idea of larger-than-life heroic figures that can save us from our problems.

We spin as we grin
We continue to put on a happy or carefree façade, even though we're spinning out of control and barely holding it together.

Cause we're happy to pretend
Putting up this false front is often easier than facing the truth or dealing with our problems head-on.

Everything's gonna be OK
This phrase becomes a mantra or coping mechanism for us, even when everything is clearly not okay.

We shake as we wake
We're constantly on edge or anxious, and this feeling only intensifies when we wake up each day to face our problems once again.

Never give until we take
We're always looking out for ourselves and trying to get ahead, regardless of how it affects others or whether we're actually fulfilled or happy.

And we hate it when we have to pay
Having to face the consequences of our actions or deal with real-world problems is something we instinctively avoid or dislike.

We flirt while we work
We use work or productivity as a way to distract ourselves from our problems, but we also engage in shallow or flirtatious behavior to avoid real interactions or connections with others.

To forget about the hurt
All of these distractions are ultimately aimed at avoiding or denying the pain and emptiness we feel inside.

And the trash that we left behind
All of our unhealthy or damaging behaviors and decisions have left a trail of waste or debris in their wake.

We sink as we swim
The more we try to stay afloat or succeed in life, the more we feel like we're drowning or struggling.

The ice is wearing thin
The situation is becoming more and more unstable or dangerous, and we're running out of options or time to fix things.
