Cold Feet
Kid Freud Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You sucked inside your socks and its not,
Getting any better
Before the raining stops you got,
To go out there and get her
Just be there when she leaves
Because there′s no sympathy among us common thieves
Not too clever,
Running through the mud without the use of an umbrella
Ignore those judging eyes you know,
You got to go and tell her,
The way you really think
Maybe money cheats and blackmail might appeal
But all I can do is do all I can
Just can't do it well enough
You can pitch the way you like, just try not to be too rough
You might about to steal, but your skin isn′t that tough
Bitter weather
You stuck inside the muck but it couldn't really be better
So she's stuck there right beside and if,
You make it out to get her
Then you′ll have some room to breathe
Maybe there′s sympathy among some certain thieves
The lyrics of Kid Freud's song Cold Feet are a poignant expression of the desperation and determination of someone who is trying to reconnect with a lost lover. They describe a difficult journey through stormy weather, running through the mud without an umbrella, and facing judgement from others along the way. The singer feels like a common thief, an outsider in the world, but is determined to go after what he wants.
The lyrics suggest that the singer is willing to do whatever it takes to win back the affection of their lover, even resorting to unethical tactics like money cheats and blackmail. However, they ultimately realize that all they can do is be true to themselves and make a genuine effort to be with the person they love. The lines "all I can do is do all I can / just can't do it well enough" capture the sense of frustration and helplessness that can come with being in love.
The song is highly relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak or tried to win someone back after a relationship has gone sour. It captures the mixture of desperation, hope, and fear that can arise in these situations, as well as the sense of isolation and uncertainty that can come with trying to navigate the complex terrain of love and relationships.
