Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hello Miss Cold
I came by to give you the season
A hot day you're going to pay
Don't you know you're wanted for treason
Oh no, why is it so?
You have always been so freezin'
To me you couldn't see I only wanted to be just pleasin'

And after all this time you're next to me'
You still turn me around
And I can let my destination be here right now
Breaking up your ice you'll see
Burn it all down
And when my sun comes out it's destiny
I'll be warming up your frozen ground.

Hello Miss Cold
I got my lemons and I'm ready for squeezing
One way you're going to stay
Ain't no time left for you to reason
Oh grace you're out in space
You've already started your wheezing
Today you'll be saved
I'm going to stop all of your bleeding

And after all this time you're next to me
You still turn me around
And I can let my destination be here right now
Breaking up your ice you'lll see
Burn it all down

And when my sun comes out it's destiny
I'll be warming up your frozen ground

Overall Meaning

The song "Miss Cold" by Pete Murray revolves around a relationship that has turned cold, distant and unresponsive. The singer of the song tries to revive and rekindle the lost love by confronting and challenging the cold, passive partner. The first stanza talks about how the singer wants to bring in a change in their partner's life by trying to infuse warmness into their cold persona. The singer accuses the partner of committing treason by being uninterested and frosty towards the relationship. The second stanza talks about how the singer is ready to take charge of the situation and bring back the lost charm. The singer uses lemon as a metaphor for the sourness between them, saying that he's ready to squeeze all the sourness out and revive the sweetness that they once had between them. Both stanzas are a critique of the passive partner who has been indifferent towards the relationship.

The chorus talks about how even after all this time, being in the same vicinity as her partner still makes the singer lose his mind. He talks about how he's ready to let go of his goals and dreams and focus on what's in front of him instead of wandering aimlessly. The lines "Breaking up your ice you'll see, Burn it all down" are a metaphorical proclamation of the singer's readiness to melt down the ice-cold demeanor of the partner and rekindle the warmth between them. The chorus talks about how it's natural to someday let your guard down, and when the moment comes, the singer is going to be there, warming up the frozen ground. The song's central theme revolves around a lover's readiness to confront and challenge their partner, who has become cold and indifferent towards the relationship.
