Frozen
Melodramus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
nerves on a rusty cellar door.
Wrestle this heavy broken handle corroded from within, secret words
cannot dismantle
Fear... I just don't want it
Fear... I just don't need it
Fear... I just gotta say...
Not your frozen angel anymore
Emotion is dying on the vine, cast a shadow of ice with her alibis.
Cold transparent love grown black, can't push hell away, your faces
will crank a lock you'll never crack
Fear... I just don't want it
Fear... I just don't need it
Fear... When's it gonna stop?
Not your frozen angel anymore
I'll buy you a ghost to take my place,
to amplify everything to feed on the mania you've seen
she knows all about hell
emotions frozen you'll never see this side of me again
not your frozen savior anymore
not your frozen angel anymore
The lyrics to Melodramus's song "Frozen" depict a tumultuous relationship in which the singer is struggling to let go of their fear and move on from a past love. The opening lines, "Blue fingertips are sore from tracing your curves, I've severed my nerves on a rusty cellar door" evoke a sense of pain and frustration as the singer tries to overcome their feelings for this person. The following lines, "Wrestle this heavy broken handle corroded from within, secret words cannot dismantle" suggest that the singer is grappling with the emotional weight of this relationship, but is unable to fully let go.
As the song progresses, the singer explains that their emotions are dying on the vine and that their love has grown cold and transparent. The line, "Cold transparent love grown black, can't push hell away, your faces will crank a lock you'll never crack" suggests that the singer's past love is haunting them and preventing them from moving on. However, eventually, the singer declares that they are "not your frozen angel anymore" and that they are no longer willing to play the role of the savior or the victim in this relationship.
