Cold
Mecha Maiko feat. Dana Jean Phoenix Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold
You're looking so
Cold
I'm feeling so
Cold
Don't freeze me out here it's just too
Cold
You're looking so
Cold
I'm feeling so
Cold
Don't freeze me out here, don't be so

Where you running?
Where you going?
Where you're looking back at me
Eyes so blurry
Tears of flurries
When you look who do you see?

Well that's a bold move, that
Keep telling yourself you're right on track
But darling you can't deal
So you're running from what's real
And with every cold exhale
From your tired breath you tell
Yourself you'll be happy
But you know that without me
You'll just be

Cold
You're looking so
Cold
I'm feeling so
Cold
Don't freeze me out here it's just too
Cold
You're looking so
Cold
I'm feeling so
Cold
Don't freeze me out here, don't be so





I can hear your heart beating
I'm the heat your body's needing

Overall Meaning

The song "Cold" by Mecha Maiko feat. Dana Jean Phoenix is a heartfelt plea to someone who seems distant and cold. The first verse immediately sets the tone with the repetition of the word "cold" and the urgency in the singer's voice as she begs to not be frozen out. The second verse deepens the sense of sadness with questions of where this person is going and who they see when they look back. These questions are followe up with a harsh realization that they're running from what's real and assures them that without her, they will only feel colder.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the sense of loneliness and desperation, with the repeated line of "don't freeze me out here, it's just too cold". The bridge of the song provides a glimmer of hope as the singer says she can hear their heart beating, and that she is the heat their body needs. The final repetition of the chorus brings the song full circle, with the singer still pleading to not be frozen out, but with a stronger sense of determination in her voice.


Overall, the song is a poignant look at the pain of feeling disconnected from someone you care about, and the desperate need for warmth and connection.
