Freeze
J.J. RENEAUX BAND Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could see it was a rough-cut Tuesday
Slow-motion weekdays stare me down
Her lipstick reflex got me wound
There were no defects to be found
Snapshot image froze without a sound
Her face still focused in my mind
Test-strip, proof-sheet love is hard to find
Friday night we'll dance the spotlight grind
Stop-time heart for me if she's not mine
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Now I'm lookin' at a flashback Sunday
Zoom lens feelings just won't disappear
Close-up darkroom sweet-talk in my ear
Her hot-spot love for me is strong
This freeze-frame moment can't be wrong
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame, now freeze
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
Like a freeze-frame (freeze-frame)
Freeze-frame
It's like the freeze, she's breeze
Freeze-frame
It's like the freeze, she's
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
Freeze-frame
The lyrics of J.J. Reneaux Band's "Freeze" describe a series of moments frozen in time, captured like snapshots in a photo album. The singer sings about how these memories of a woman he loves are burned into his mind, with sharp and vivid details that he can recall as if looking at a photograph. He describes a "rough-cut Tuesday" that turns into a "slow-motion weekday," a moment in which he sees the woman's "lipstick reflex" and becomes "wound" by it. He marvels at the fact that there are "no defects to be found" in her.
Later in the song, the singer recalls another moment, a "flashback Sunday," in which he is once again caught up in memories of the woman. He describes his feelings as being captured by a "zoom lens," and recalls sweet talk whispered in his ear like it was "developed" in a "darkroom." He believes that the "freeze-frame" moment they shared can't be wrong, and hopes that she'll be his forever.
Overall, the lyrics of "Freeze" by J.J. Reneaux Band are about the power of memories to capture moments in time, and about the way that those moments can sometimes feel like they're frozen in place, never to be forgotten.
