The Cold
OH!hello Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
deep winter cold
layin down, down in the coat
pink winter coat
i love the cold
the cold is all that i know
soft skinned redheaded thing
tearing the cold and breaking my shins
i've found something to call my own
it's the cold
i've found something to call my home
it's the cold and it's all that i know
dig my toes into the frost
getting lost in something perfect
perfect and pale like you
i love the cold
the cold is all that i know
The song "The Cold" by OH!hello is a poetic expression of a person's love for the cold and how it makes them feel. The lyrics delve deep into the emotions and thoughts that arise when one is in the midst of the winter season. The opening line "lay me down in the snow, deep winter cold" immediately sets the tone and theme for the rest of the song. The image of laying down in the snow suggests a surrender to the cold, an embracing of its power and beauty. It is as if the person is willing to be consumed by the winter season and everything that it represents.
The chorus of the song is particularly moving. The line "I've found something to call my own, it's the cold" suggests a deep emotional connection to the season. It is almost as if the cold has become a part of the person's identity or sense of self. The repetition of the phrase "the cold is all that I know" further reinforces this idea. It is as if the person has become so accustomed to the cold that it has become a defining characteristic of their life.
The second verse of the song continues the theme of the cold being a powerful force. The line "dig my toes into the frost, getting lost in something perfect" suggests a sense of wonder and awe. The cold is not just something to be endured, but something to be experienced and appreciated. The final line of the song "the cold is all that I know" brings the song full circle, emphasizing the deep emotional connection the person has to the cold.

[Lyrics]
When the feeling leaves you,
it moves so slow;
like the loose change from your front pocket,
you don't even feel it go.
When the bitter creeps in
to bite you whole,
a spectre unreflected, oh,
It keeps you cold.
When you keep your linens
like virgin snow,
like a blanket of white
unbroken by the soil below,
the sound don’t carry,
won’t rise or fall;
it damps the racket, chokes it back,
a stranglehold
ah-ooh,
ah-oo-ooh,
ah-ooh...
You pave your Hades
with precious stone,
made an hierloom to patricians and the rich alo-one,
and toll for crossing
I'd owe Charon
would atrophy a half of me,
the heart of gold, -oOoh
ah-
Well, I'm not quite ready
to turn to bone,
to petrify the shred of life
I'm holdin onto
There’s no peace to upset;
that spirit’s flown.
This ossified philosophising's getting old-

Coldness
A power of nature
The feeling of winter
The wind stinging your face
and snow touching your skin
Cold
a power of winter
That brings joy
and fear
Cold
a feeling of space and time
That make you remeber the snow is coming
or has come
Cold
The true Beauty of the world
