Hocico Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's cold in here, I′ll fight to death
COnscience wants to heal
Conscience sees the light
It's not, not too late
It's not, not too late
A fight, a fight to death, just fight before it′s too late
There′s no disguise in the dead of winter
No one's safe, no one′s safe to stay
There's no disguise in the dead of winter
No one′s safe, no one's safe to stay
COnscience wants to heal
Conscience sees the light
It′s not, not too late
It's not, not too late
A fight, a fight to death, just fight before it's too late
A fight, a fight to the end, the end of this promised land
There′s no disguise in the dead of winter
No one′s safe, no one's safe to stay
There′s no disguise in the dead of winter
No one's safe, no one′s safe to stay
A fight to the bitter end, a desperate fight
A desperate fight
A fight to kill all innoncence
A fight to kill me
A fight to kill me
A fight to the bitter end, a desperate fight
A desperate fight
A fight to kill all innoncence
A fight to kill me
A fight to kill me
A fight to the bitter end
A fight to kill me
The lyrics of Hocico's song "Dead of Winter" seem to depict an internal conflict occurring within the singer's mind. The repeated line, "It's cold in here, I'll fight to death," suggests a struggle to overcome a personal battle in the midst of a harsh winter. The reference to "Conscience" may imply that the conflict is moral in nature or a fight against guilt.
The chorus maintains a sobering tone with the repetition of "there's no disguise in the dead of winter, no one's safe to stay." This could signify an awareness that in the cold of winter, there is no way to conceal oneself from the harsh realities of life. It is a reminder that everyone must face their personal battles head-on, regardless of how uncomfortable or difficult it may be.
The second half of the lyrics portrays a bleak setting, suggesting that the conflict involves a life or death situation. The "fight to kill all innocence" and "fight to kill me," could potentially represent a shift from the internal struggle to an external one, where the singer wages a literal battle against an enemy outside of themselves. Ultimately, the song seems to suggest that there is no escape from the struggles we face in life, and the only way to overcome them is by confronting them head-on.
