In the Coldness of a Dream
Jedi Mind Tricks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heaven or hell, which one was your home
You lived on the edge of death with your gun

The deep is deep, this is only chaos to death
Seance and breath when they play on the flesh
A queen like Neferu lay on his chest
The dean is forever, take pray on success
I could find god without needing the coordinate
Hand to hand, man to man, feeding the unfortunate
Seven gold cities of Cibola is in all of it
Cut a lion's head off and wear it like an ornament
This isn't something that's conventional in its origin
It's a situation of people needing some more from him
It's primordial for the Devil that want a war with him
Chaos and conflict always has been the norm for him
He was a product of Makavelian myth
Sacred mushrooms and some [?] and piff
The Navajo twins that carried me in the mist
To Korriban and into the academy of the Sith

Heaven or hell, which one was your home
You lived on the edge of death with your gun
Your wounds became scars
When you murdered your storm
You levitate high up above

Even physically or non-physically I'm still getting paid
Hover craft move like an escalade in Everglades
Wise men only reminisce over better days
Groups of lamb legs served with teriyaki marinade
Mind like Stanley when he was directing Spartacus
I was getting drowned in the dark abyss
Now I'm like an arsonist
Fill your fucking body up with cartridges
And catch enough homis, that'll open up an orphanage
And they don't know the father is a product of the rules
It's silently and vitally inviting you to lose
The truth you're looking for isn't seen in the world news
It shouldn't have effect on the healings that y'all choose
Y'all ain't have the pleasure to live life in hell
The guns mad big and sing like Adele




Ain't no other word got a ring like 'rebel'
The weight is mad heavy and bring life to scale, stupid

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jedi Mind Tricks's song "In the Coldness of a Dream" speaks to the internal struggle between good and evil that exists within us all. The opening lines, "Heaven or hell, which one was your home. You lived on the edge of death with your gun," sets the stage for a contemplation of the afterlife and one's place in it. The lyrics suggest that the singer may have lived a life of violence and war, as evidenced by lines such as "Cut a lion's head off and wear it like an ornament." However, the singer also seems to acknowledge the possibility of redemption and finding a way to do good, as suggested by the line "Hand to hand, man to man, feeding the unfortunate."


As the song continues, it becomes more abstract and surreal, with references to "Sacred mushrooms" and "the academy of the Sith." The singer's mind seems to be expanding beyond the earthly realm, and the use of language becomes more poetic and metaphorical. The lines "The truth you're looking for isn't seen in the world news. It shouldn't have effect on the healings that y'all choose," suggests that the singer believes there is a deeper truth beyond the surface level of what we see in the media, and that we must look within ourselves to heal and improve.


Ultimately, "In the Coldness of a Dream" is a meditation on the human psyche and our capacity for good and evil. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person struggling with their past, their present, and their place in the world, and the song encourages listeners to search for meaning and redemption in their own lives.

on I Who Have Nothing

I Who Have Nothing - Dee Daniels - Lyrics

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Adore you and want you so
I'm just a no one
With nothing to give you but, oh

I love you

She, she buys you diamonds
Bright, bright sparkling diamonds
But believe me, when I say
She can give you the world
But she'll never love you the way
Oh

I love you

She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
Who loves you

Musical Interlude

She can take you any place she wants
To fancy clubs and restaurants
But I can only watch you with
My nose pressed up against the window pane
Oh

I, I who have nothing
And I, I who have no one
Must watch you go dancing by
Wrapped in the arms of somebody else
When darling, it's I
I who really loves you
I really
Really love you

Love you
