In Cold Water
Hante Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Everyday is just another day
Something is leading me to suffocate
Along the shore, my shoes are full of sand
I'm attracted by the depths of the ocean

Every step brings me closer to the end
This is a new world, beautiful and silent
One look behind, I barely see the bay
The strength of the tide is taking me away

And I'm scared I won't survive tomorrow
If I let myself sink deeper
You can't go back from the abyss of sorrow
How could I keep breathing In cold water?

And I'm scared I won't survive tomorrow
If I let myself sink deeper
You can't go back from the abyss of sorrow
How could I keep breathing In cold water?

Everyday is just another day
Something is leading me to suffocate
Along the shore, my shoes are full of sand
I'm attracted by the depths of the ocean

Every step brings me closer to the end
This is a new world, beautiful and silent
One look behind, I barely see the bay
The strength of the tide is taking me away

And I'm scared I won't survive tomorrow
If I let myself sink deeper
You can't go back from the abyss of sorrow
How could I keep breathing In cold water?

And I'm scared I won't survive tomorrow
If I let myself sink deeper
You can't go back from the abyss of sorrow
How could I keep breathing In cold water?
In cold water?

And I'm scared I won't survive tomorrow
If I let myself sink deeper




You can't go back from the abyss of sorrow
How could I keep breathing In cold water?

Overall Meaning

Hante's song "In Cold Water" speaks of the feeling of being overwhelmed by life and the fear of sinking deeper. The lyrics are about feeling suffocated and drawn towards the unknown depths of the ocean. The repetition of the opening lines "Everyday is just another day, something is leading me to suffocate" paints a picture of monotony and the feeling of being trapped. The imagery of the singer being attracted to the depths of the ocean and every step bringing them closer to the end reflects their desire to escape from their mundane reality, but also their fear of the unknown consequences of doing so.


The line "This is a new world, beautiful and silent" contrasts the feeling of being suffocated in everyday life with the beauty and peace that comes with taking a leap into the unknown. However, the fear of "not surviving tomorrow" and not being able to "go back from the abyss of sorrow" begs the question of whether it is worth taking the risk. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the theme of fear and the uncertainty that comes with taking chances, but ultimately, the singer is left wondering how they can keep breathing in the cold waters of life.


Overall, "In Cold Water" is a beautifully crafted song that speaks to the universal fear of change and taking risks. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but ultimately the message is clear- the fear of the unknown is powerful, but even more so is the fear of not being able to survive it.
