Cold
Heaven Shall Burn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This cold, it fills my soul
I still feel a fire, but I doesn't warm anymore
Where is all energy, we once got from love?
Paralyze thoughts, our hands are frozen
Empty eyes there are no words
there are no tears
but too far to reach
All green seem grey
in the dark Who said it would be over soon
Who thought we could conquer nature?
could conquer our nature?
Impossible to overcome, there is no end
Nothing will disappear, but all will change
There will be no path, but we have to march
All through the cold
All through the cold
A few stars left,
but too far to reach
All green seem grey in the dark
Who said it would be over soon
It all seems (it all seems)
It all seems (It all seems)
Yeah
Who thought we could conquer nature
Impossible to overcome, there is no end
Nothing will disappear, but all will change
There will be no path
but we have to march through the cold
Heaven Shall Burn's song "Cold" talks about the feeling of being numb and empty. The lyrics indicate that the singer has lost their warmth and energy, and everything around them appears to be dark and grey. The lines "I still feel a fire, but it doesn't warm anymore" and "there are no tears" suggest emotional exhaustion where the person is unable to feel anything. The mention of stars that are too far to reach and plants that look grey in the dark imply the sense of loneliness and hopelessness.
The song seems to be a commentary on the current state of the world where people are losing their connection with nature and becoming increasingly detached from their feelings. The lines "Who thought we could conquer nature? could conquer our nature?" indicate the arrogance of humans in their attempt to control everything around them, while the lines "Impossible to overcome, there is no end" show the ultimate futility of such pursuits.
Despite the bleakness of the lyrics, there is a sense of resilience and determination towards the end. The lines "Nothing will disappear, but all will change / There will be no path, but we have to march" suggest that even in the face of adversity, one must keep moving forward.
Overall, "Cold" is a powerful song that captures the feelings of despair and emptiness, but also offers a message of hope and courage.
