In 2001, the band regrouped, with guitarist James Valentine added to the line-up, and pursued a new direction under the name: Maroon 5. At this point, Jesse Carmichael switched to playing the keyboards and this has become his main instrument in the band (although he also plays rhythm guitar to this day). After these changes, Maroon 5 signed with Octone Records and released their debut album, "Songs About Jane", in June 2002. The album's lead single "Harder to Breathe", received heavy airplay, which helped the album to debut at number six on the Billboard 200 chart. The band won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2005. For the next few years, the band toured extensively worldwide in support of Songs About Jane and produced two live recordings: 2004's "1.22.03.Acoustic" and 2005's "Live Friday the 13th". In 2006, Ryan Dusick officially left the band after suffering from serious wrist and shoulder injuries and was replaced by Matt Flynn. The band recorded their second album, "It Won't Be Soon Before Long" and released it in May 2007. The album reached number one on the US Billboard 200 chart and the lead single, "Makes Me Wonder", became the band's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.
On September 21, 2010, the band released their third studio album entitled "Hands All Over". It was re-released in 2011 to include the single "Moves like Jagger" (featuring Christina Aguilera). While the original version of the album received mixed reviews, "Moves like Jagger" reached the number one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The band released their next album, "Overexposed", on June 26, 2012. All four singles of the album were really successful on the charts - for example, the second single from Overexposed, "One More Night" (released on June 19, 2012), reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 2014, the band signed with Interscope Records and released their fifth studio album, "V", with the very-first line-up of six official band members, as keyboardist and backing vocalist PJ Morton became an official member in 2012. The album debuted at top of the weekly Billboard 200 chart. Since its debut in 2002, the band has sold more than 15 million albums in the United States and over 100 million singles and 27 million albums worldwide.
Cold
Maroon 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It feels like I don't know you anymore
I don't understand why you're so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there's something going on
I don't understand why you're so cold
Are we taking time, or a time out?
Asking me for space here in my house
You know how to fuck with me
Acting like we're not together
After everything that we've been through
Sleeping up under the covers
How am I so far away from you?
Distant, when we're kissing
Feel so different
Baby, tell me how did you get so
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don't know you anymore
I don't understand why you're so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there's something going on
I don't understand why you're so cold, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
I don't understand why you're so cold
What you holdin' on, holdin' on for?
If you wanna leave, just leave
Why you wanna bite your tongue for?
The silence is killing me
Acting like we're not together
If you don't want this, then what's the use?
Sleeping up under the covers
How am I so far away from you?
Distant, when we're kissing
Feel so different
Baby tell me how did you get so
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don't know you anymore
I don't understand why you're so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there's something going on
I don't understand why you're so cold, yeah
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
I don't understand why you're so cold, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
I don't understand why you're so cold
Never thought that you were like this
I took the tag off, and made you priceless
I just spent half a mill' on a chandelier
Now you tryna' cut me off like a light switch, yeah
Tryna' stay, and I leave
Saying that you need some time to breathe
Thinking that I'm sleeping on the four letter word
But the four letter word don't sleep
We goin' two separate ways
You ain't been actin' the same
You gotta go, but where your heart used to be
You gold dig every day
I switched the four door to the two door
'Cause I can't let my driver hear what you say
Girl, I tried to give you space
Baby, tell me how did you get so
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don't know you anymore
I don't understand why you're so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there's something going on
I don't understand why you're so cold
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
I don't understand why you're so cold, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So cold, it's a cold world
I don't understand why you're so cold
The lyrics to Maroon 5's song "Cold" paint the picture of a relationship that has become distant and cold. The singer expresses confusion and frustration at the sudden change in behavior from his partner. The opening lines, "Cold enough to chill my bones, it feels like I don't know you anymore," set the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is struggling to understand why his partner is acting so distant and cold towards him, despite their history together. He wonders whether they are taking a break or completely ending things, but feels like he cannot take the in-between any longer. The silence and lack of communication from his partner is driving him crazy.
As the song progresses, the singer starts to reflect on his own feelings towards the relationship. He questions what his partner is holding on for, especially if they want to leave. He feels like the silence is killing him and that his partner is trying to cut him off completely. Despite trying to give his partner space, he cannot understand why they have become so cold and distant with him. The chorus repeats the line "I don't understand why you're so cold to me," driving home the confusion and frustration the singer feels.
One interpretation of this song is that it explores the breakdown of communication in a relationship. The singer feels like he doesn't know his partner anymore, and struggles to understand why they are acting the way they are. The chorus lyric, “With every breath you breathe I see there’s something going on" suggests that the singer has sensed something wrong or going on with his partner, but they are either not communicating it or they are lacking the motivation to try to fix things. The song also touches on the theme of feeling undervalued, as the singer raps, "I took the tag off, and made you priceless...Now you tryna' cut me off like a light switch.” The song portrays a picture of a relationship that is struggling to stay alive, with questions of whether it will survive.

You're not behaving the way you used to
You gotta go, but where your heart used to be
You need to leave, but I'm not sure where your love for me went
You gold dig every day
You manipulate me for my money or material possessions
I switched the four door to the two door
I'm making changes in my life and moving forward
'Cause I can't let my driver hear what you say
I don't want anyone else hearing what you're saying to me
Girl, I tried to give you space
I gave you the distance you asked for
So cold, it's a cold world
Our situation is harsh and emotionally distant
I don't understand why you're so cold
I'm unsure what led to our current state of distance and lack of communication
