Frozen
Madonnaā Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen
When your heart's not open

You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret. You're broken
When your heart's not open
Mm, hmm
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold
The key

Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same, if I lose you
My heart will be broken

Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die, you're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mm, hmm
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold
The key

You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be? You're frozen
When your heart's not open

Mm, hmm
If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold the key (Mm, hmm)

If I could melt your heart
Mm, hmm
We'd never be apart
Mm, hmm
Give yourself to me
Mm, hmm
You hold




The key
If I could melt your heart

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Madonna’s song Frozen express the frustration and sadness that comes with a person’s inability to open their heart to love and to truly experience life. The opening lines “you only see what your eyes want to see, how can life be what you want it to be?” suggest that the person is limited by their own perspective, unable to see beyond what they already know or what they want. Consequently, they are “frozen” in their own cycle of closed-off emotions and self-centeredness, unable to connect with others or experience true love.


The lines “if I could melt your heart, we’d never be apart” and “give yourself to me, you hold the key” provide a glimmer of hope, suggesting that the singer believes that love can conquer all barriers if only the other person was willing to open themselves up. The repetition of “Mm, hmm” throughout the song adds a solemn, mournful tone to the song, conveying the sense of sadness and despair that comes with a person’s inability to connect with others.


Overall, Frozen is a poignant ballad that speaks to the universal human desire for connection and love, and the frustration that comes with being unable to achieve it.

I'm not a Madonna fan except for some great songs. But this is a masterpiece, an absolute pinnacle. This is not dance, this is a dark hypnotic poetry

I completely agree with you. This is a masterpiece I would love to see covered by Sarah Brightman.
