Frozen
Melissa Totten Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 frozen when your heart's not open
Hum
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd suffer the same
If I lose you, my heart would be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside you die
You're frozen when your heart's not open
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are 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
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
Hum
If I could melt your heart
Hum
We'd never be apart
Hum
Give yourself to me
Hum
You are the key
If I could melt your heart
The lyrics to Melissa Totten’s song “Frozen” explore the concept of emotional detachment and the importance of opening up one’s heart to love. The first verse touches on how some people only see what they want to see and consequently miss out on the joys of life. The line “You’re frozen when your heart’s not open” speaks to how emotional walls can prevent one from experiencing true love and connection. The second verse highlights the danger of obsession with material possessions and the negative impact that it can have on one’s life. The chorus of the song focuses on the power of love to melt these emotional barriers and to bring two people together. The humming in the background adds to the dreamy, almost otherworldly feeling of the song, making it feel as if love can bridge even the greatest of divides.
The lyrics are rich in metaphorical imagery and encourage the listener to reflect on their own emotional walls, while also inspiring them to open up to the power of love. The lyrics present a message of hope and optimism that is conveyed through the song’s gentle, yet powerful melody. Throughout the song, the use of humming in the background creates an almost meditative, trance-like quality that helps to emphasize the importance of emotional connection and opening up one’s heart.
