The Warmth
Koda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hummingbirds
and naughty words,
it's far beyond the walls they come.

Only lives beyond closed doors,
would leave beneath the words they say we are.

And as the night begins
to undress the lucky ones.
We have a star amoungst
living beyong the sound.

And we will carry on,
as long as we understand.

We live among the rules we make em'.

And the roads we take
when someone has jumped the gun.

I cannot trust you if you keep stepping on my back.
I cannot love you if you still carry on.
I can't begin to understand the cut.

With your last breath we scream my name
as I was yours and cracks beneath.

And fear run down
the scars are long.





There's no more warmth
There nothing for me here.

Overall Meaning

In Koda's song, "The Warmth," the lyrics seem to be about relationships and the complexities that come with them. The song opens with "hummingbirds and naughty words, it's far beyond the walls they come." This line suggests that the relationship in question is perhaps a secret or not socially acceptable. The mention of closed doors implies that these individuals are engaged in something that is not accepted or allowed by society. The next line, "Only lives beyond closed doors, would leave beneath the words they say we are," may suggest that the individuals involved in the relationship are judged and labeled by society.


The second verse continues with the idea of being separated from society. "And as the night begins to undress the lucky ones. We have a star amongst living beyond the sound." This line suggests that the individuals in the relationship are lucky but also isolated. The imagery of living beyond sound seems to suggest that they have secluded themselves from others, perhaps to maintain their relationship.


Later in the song, the singer seems to express their frustration with the dynamic in the relationship. "I cannot trust you if you keep stepping on my back. I cannot love you if you still carry on. I can't begin to understand the cut." These lyrics suggest that there is some sort of unspoken tension or mistrust between the two individuals.


Towards the end of the song, the tone becomes more melancholic with the lines, "With your last breath we scream my name as I was yours and cracks beneath. And fear run down the scars are long. There's no more warmth. There's nothing for me here." These lyrics express a sense of loss and resignation, as if the relationship has ended or cannot continue.


Overall, Koda's "The Warmth" is a complex and emotionally charged song about relationships and the struggles that come with them. The lyrics seem to reflect the difficulties of maintaining a relationship that is not accepted by society and the personal challenges that can arise within a relationship.

Hummingbirds
And naughty words
It’s far beyond the walls they come
Only lives
Beyond closed doors
Would leave beneath the words they say we are

And as the night begins
To undress the lucky ones
We have a star amongst
Living beyond the sound
And we will carry on
As long as we understand

We live among the rules we make em’,
And that’s the road we take,
When someone has jumped the gun.
I cannot trust you if you keep stepping on my back
I cannot love you if you still carry on
I can’t begin to understand the cut.

With your last breath,
We screamed my name,
As I was yours.
And cracks beneath,
And fear run down,
The scars are long,
There’s no more warmth,
There nothing for me here.
