Cold
Grabbitz Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We used to light the room right up
Now we barely see the colours on the walls (on the walls)
I like it dark, I like it dark
That way you never really see me at all
I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be
I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be
You're not that cold oh no oh oh oh

You're not that cold oh no oh oh oh
But I don't wanna love no more
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
I don't wanna love no more
I don't wanna love because of you
You think your talking is gold
And you've been here before
but your aging gets old,
when your life's on the floor
Only heaven can know
Where your heaviness goes
When the kids in the yard

Find themselves in the home, oh no

I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be
I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be

You're not that cold oh no oh oh oh
You're not that cold oh no oh oh oh
I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be
I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be
But I don't wanna love no more
I don't know what I'm supposed to do

I don't wanna love no more
I don't wanna love because of you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Grabbitz's song Cold are about a deteriorating relationship between two people. The singer feels like they have been in this situation before, as their partner spirals into a state of depression or self-destruction, represented by the line "And you're digging a hole / While I'm ceiling to floor." The partner's erratic behavior has a negative impact on those around them, causing the children to feel uncomfortable and want to leave. However, the partner continues digging the hole, saying "So that you're not alone anymore."

The singer reflects on how their relationship used to be, how they "used to light the room right up." But now the colors on the wall barely visible, and the singer prefers it that way so their partner can't see them fully. The singer acknowledges that they are not the ideal partner for their significant other, saying "I'm not quite the man that you needed me to be." However, they seem frustrated that their partner is not warmer towards them, suggesting that they are not as "cold" as they seem.

Overall, the song conveys feelings of frustration, sadness, and regret. The singer seems to be resigned to the fact that their relationship may not work out, and they no longer want to love.

XD I spent too much time. I just like to make it as well formed as possible. Adding the times was easy though, cause in musicbee (the audio player I'm using) you can just press a button as the song is playing to put the time in for that part of the song. But I still fixed up the lyrics and pulled from a few sources.
