Frostbite
Promethee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
with hasrdship and comfort
full of warmth
yet i feel cold inside
you came to me
yet i stay cold
to feel so familiar
this is starting to feel
to fell like frostbite
let's take a few steps back
and try to figure this out
contemplate on what was supposed to be
contemplate on nothing really
you came to me
i never asked anything of you
i am sorry you ended up being the fool who
trusted me
but i'm not sorry for trying to fugure this out
to make this work
you should have never believed in me
you should have been able to see right through me
i have lost my voice a thousand times
trying to explain to you
that i'll never be worth it
trying to believethat you will wait
The lyrics to Promethee's "Frostbite" tell a story of a relationship where one person has come to the other seeking comfort and warmth. However, despite the seemingly positive situation, the person receiving the warmth feels cold inside. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that this feeling of coldness is not only a physical sensation but an emotional one as well. The singer reflects on the familiarity of this feeling, comparing it to frostbite. The chorus encourages taking a step back to contemplate the situation, but even with this reflection, the coldness persists.
The second half of the song shifts to a message of regret and apology. The singer expresses sorrow for the other person's trust being misplaced while also acknowledging their own need to figure things out and make the relationship work. Despite the apology, there's still a level of self-criticism, with the singer acknowledging their own worthlessness and loss of voice in trying to explain their feelings.
Overall, "Frostbite" is a melancholic reflection on a relationship where one person feels emotionally detached, even in the face of comfort and warmth. The song encourages reflection, both on the present situation and on past actions, but ultimately leaves a sense of unresolved uncertainty.
