Cold Light of Day
Halo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've broken every bone for you,
Burned myself alive for you,
Fell down from the sky for you,
But youe not the one for me.

I dug myself a grave for you
shot life in the heart for you,
I lust for every part of you
but you're not the one for me.

Cos in the cold light of day
The colours all fade away,
And were left with monotony
And nothing to say.
In the cold light of day
The colours all fade away,
And were left with monotony
And nothing to say.

I lost myself in a dream of you,
My pulse raced to the stars for you,
in love with every part of you
but you're not the one for me.

i always looked out for you,
wanted life to be fun for you,
you said i was the one for you
but you're not the one for me.

Cos in the cold light of day
The colours all fade away,
And were left with monotony
And nothing to say.
In the cold light of day
The colours all fade away,




And were left with monotony
And nothing to say.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Cold Light of Day" by Halo express the feeling of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it. The singer has gone to great lengths for the object of their affection, even going so far as to break bones, burn themselves, and fall from the sky, but their love is not returned. The singer has dug themselves a grave and shot life in the heart for the one they love, but it is not reciprocated. They admit to being lost in a dream of this person, and loving every part of them, but it is all in vain. The singer even acknowledges being told that they are the one for their love interest, but they still feel unfulfilled.


The lyrics are melancholic, with the use of imagery to describe the lengths to which the singer has gone for their love. However, in the "cold light of day," when reality sets in, the colors fade away, and monotony takes over, leaving the singer with "nothing to say." The phrase "cold light of day" represents the harsh reality that love sometimes fades away, and the passion that was once there is replaced with emptiness.
