Frozen
Mandi Perkins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Frozen again
Are you frozen again?
Broken record now
You've lost your melody
Are you frozen again?
Out on a limb
It gets so cold when you're alone
They just don't know
So let it go
Chorus:
Cause they can't what you've been through
They were not there, they are not you
The sudden fame, you're not the same
And you suffer from the shame
But they can never make you change
So, they think that you're strange
Hopeless again
Are you hopeless again?
Everything fell down
Came crashing on your plate
Are you hopeless again?
It's lonely there
Out on a limb
It gets so cold when you're alone
They just don't know
So let it go
Chorus:
Cause they can't what you've been through
They were not there, they are not you
The sudden fame, you're not the same
And you suffer from the shame
But they can never make you change
So, they think that you're strange
Bridge:
Did you fall into a hole this time?
When nobody was there to throw you a line?
You can use me until you feel fine
They want to see you crawl
Crawl
Chorus:
Cause they can't what you've been through
They were not there, they are not you
The sudden fame, you're not the same
And they fill your life with the shame
But they can never make you change
So, they think that you're strange
Frozen
I'll keep you warmer
Get my white horse
Silver armor
I'll protect you from them
Who says I can't have a white horse
And armor
Are you frozen again?
Frozen again?
Mandi Perkins's song "Frozen" is a heartfelt tune about the struggles of fame and the loneliness that accompanies it. The repetitive imagery of being frozen and hopeless emphasizes the stagnation that comes with feeling isolated and misunderstood. Perkins sings to someone who is going through a tough time, telling them to let go of the opinions of others and the shame they feel. She acknowledges that it can be lonely to be in the spotlight because people don't truly understand what the person is going through. The bridge provides a shining hope, offering that the singer can be a supportive friend to the person in need. The chorus returns, letting the person know that despite the difficulties they may face, they are not alone and can push through the struggles.
The song itself is unique in that it was a bonus track, meaning that it wasn't originally intended to be included on Perkins's debut album "Alice in No Man's Land." Despite this, it has become a fan favorite and helped cement Perkins's status as a rising star in the music industry. The song was co-written by Perkins and producer/multi-instrumentalist Mark Jowett. Interestingly, Jowett was the drummer for the Canadian band "I Mother Earth" before transitioning to a career in producing.
