Cold
Havenfield Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's beauty found in you
Been circling the room in hopes I'll fall asleep by noon
Now I'm laying down to sleep,
I pray the Lord my soul to keep,
But I know I'll die before I wake,
And they'll find there's nothing left to take.
Buried deep inside
You're picking at my brain to find its all the same
I'm feeling cold again
Not like we ever meant
Anything to anyone but me
Shake this off
And pray to God my soul's not lost
And I've felt the very bottom of this heartless life and distant friends
I know I'll lose it all again
Nervousness resides
Buried deep inside
You're picking at my brain to find its all the same
I'm feeling cold again
Not like we ever meant
Anything to anyone but me
The above lyrics are from Havenfield's song "Cold". At first glance, the song seems to talk about a person feeling cold emotionally and going through the motions of life. The opening line "Like daises in their bloom, there's beauty found in you" implies that the person being referred to is beautiful like a blooming flower. However, the following lines about "circling the room in hopes I'll fall asleep by noon" suggest that this beauty is not enough to keep the person from feeling lost or hopeless.
The person sings about praying to the Lord to keep their soul, but knows that they will die before waking up. This can mean that the person feels as though they are living a meaningless existence and are just waiting for death to take them. The mention of "they'll find there's nothing left to take" implies that the person may feel as though they have already lost everything or that they are not leaving any lasting impact.
The chorus of the song speaks to the person's anxiety and fear of losing everything they have. The line "You're picking at my brain to find its all the same" suggests that someone close to them is trying to understand their feelings, but ultimately the person feels empty and alone. The repetition of "I'm feeling cold again, not like we ever meant anything to anyone but me" further emphasizes this loneliness and the feeling of being disconnected from the world.
Overall, the song "Cold" by Havenfield seems to paint a picture of a person who is struggling with their emotions and their place in the world. They feel alone and disconnected from those around them, and are just going through the motions of life. The repetition of the line "I'm feeling cold again" underscores the themes of loneliness and detachment that run through the song.
