They released three studio albums, "Through Art We Are All Equals" on June 24, 2014, "Routine Breathing" on August 21, 2015 and "Beautiful Death" on February 16, 2018 with founding member and original lead vocalist Jonny Craig.
On January 24, 2019, the band announced that Jonny Craig was removed from the band citing his addictions. He was replaced by NBC's The Voice runner-up Matt McAndrew, with whom they released their fourth studio album, "To Better Days" on August 7, 2020. Prior to the album's release, on June 25, 2020, the band announced that it would be their final release under the name Slaves, stating that "As obstinate supporters of the BLM movement, we cannot continue to tie our music and our positive message to a word associated with such negative weight and hurt."
On October 15, 2021, the band announced that they had changed their name to Rain City and signed to independent record label Thriller Records. However, the band later opted to be known as Rain City Drive due to unforeseen circumstances and to avoid future problems.
Frozen
Rain City Drive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But we both got issues that are unresolved
So we're making it
Bed of lies
Let you lay in it
One last time
Told you a secret that you couldn't keep
Gave you leverage
Intertwined
So I severed it
Staring at the screen
When I should be asleep
I thought I let you go
Let me suffer in peace
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse
And the remedy
I've seen your worst
And it cut too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Going insane chasing your spirit
Guess I made it up
Then I caught my reflection in your broken love
Did your arrogance
Save us both the embarrassment?
Cold as ice
I'm losing touch and I'm finding something cope with
But all I see is your body, it's feeling hopeless
Somebody save me from myself
Staring at the screen
When I should be asleep
I thought I let you go
Let me suffer in peace
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse
And the remedy
I've seen your worst
And it cut too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Oooh
I wish I was numb to you
Turning blue
I'm caught in the middle
Cause you've overused
My trust just a little
Would you celebrate
A heart that breaks?
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Feels like you're frozen
Stuck in my mind
Flooded with emotions
Blurring the lines
In between your curse
And the remedy
I've seen your worst
And it cut too deep
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
You're frozen
(Stuck in my mind)
You're frozen
(Stuck in my mind)
You're frozen
Stuck in my mind
The lyrics of "Frozen" by Rain City Drive portray a complicated and unresolved relationship. The song describes a situation where both individuals involved have unresolved issues and are deceiving each other, leading to a "bed of lies" that they both have to endure one last time. The ending of the relationship is portrayed as the worst part, indicating that the pain and consequences of their actions have reached a breaking point.
The second verse highlights the trust issues within the relationship. One person confided in the other with a secret, but when they let the other person down, they used that secret against them. The use of the word "leverage" suggests a manipulative dynamic in the relationship. Eventually, the person who was betrayed decides to sever the connection between them, possibly realizing that it is necessary for their own well-being.
The chorus of the song expresses the lingering presence of the other person in the singer's mind. Despite trying to move on, they feel stuck and flooded with emotions. The relationship is described as a curse, something that has caused great pain, but the other person also holds a certain remedy, implying that they have the potential to heal these wounds. However, the pain caused by the other person has cut too deep, leaving the singer feeling frozen and unable to fully let go.
The bridge of the song reflects the singer's internal struggle. They realize that they are losing touch with themselves in their attempt to find something to cope with the pain. The line "all I see is your body, it's feeling hopeless" suggests that the memories of the physical aspect of the relationship are consuming their thoughts. They call out for someone to save them from this destructive pattern.
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the persistent impact the other person has on the singer's mind. They are trapped in the cycle of emotions and blurred lines between the pain inflicted by the other person and the possibility of finding healing through them. The ending of the song expresses a longing for numbness, the desire to no longer be affected by the other person's actions. The lyrics also touch on the theme of betrayal, questioning if the other person would celebrate the heartbreak they caused.
Overall, "Frozen" delves into the complexities of a turbulent relationship, focusing on the lingering effects and emotional struggle faced when trying to let go of someone who has caused deep pain.
Line by Line Meaning
I thought the ending was the worst of all
I believed that the breakup was the most painful part of our relationship
But we both got issues that are unresolved
However, we both have unresolved problems and emotional baggage
So we're making it
So we are pretending and creating a false reality
Bed of lies
A relationship built on deceit and dishonesty
Let you lay in it
Allowing you to suffer the consequences of your actions
One last time
For the final time before completely letting go
Told you a secret that you couldn't keep
I trusted you with a secret, but you betrayed my trust by revealing it
When I let you down you'd hold it over me
Every time I disappointed you, you would use it against me
Gave you leverage
I unintentionally gave you power and control over me
Intertwined
Our lives and emotions became deeply intertwined
So I severed it
I ended our connection and cut ties with you
Staring at the screen
Spending sleepless nights, constantly fixated on my digital device
When I should be asleep
Rather than getting the rest I need
I thought I let you go
I believed I had moved on from you
Let me suffer in peace
Allow me to endure my pain without any further disturbances
Feels like you're frozen
It seems like you are permanently stuck and lingering in my thoughts
Stuck in my mind
Unable to escape my constant thinking and reminiscing
Flooded with emotions
Overwhelmed by a surge of intense feelings
Blurring the lines
Causing confusion and ambiguity in defining our relationship
In between your curse
Trapped between the negativity and harm you bring
And the remedy
And the supposed solution or cure to ease the pain
I've seen your worst
I have witnessed your darkest and most destructive side
And it cut too deep
And it deeply wounded and hurt me
Going insane chasing your spirit
Becoming mentally unstable as I desperately seek your presence or essence
Guess I made it up
Realizing that I fabricated or imagined our connection
Then I caught my reflection in your broken love
After examining your damaged and dysfunctional love, I saw my own reflection
Did your arrogance
Was your lack of humility and overconfidence
Save us both the embarrassment?
Supposedly protecting us from public shame or humiliation?
Cold as ice
You possess an extreme level of emotional detachment and indifference
I'm losing touch and I'm finding something cope with
I am losing my grip on reality and trying to find a way to cope with the pain
But all I see is your body, it's feeling hopeless
However, all I can focus on is your physical presence, which leaves me feeling helpless
Somebody save me from myself
I desperately need someone to rescue me from my own destructive tendencies
Oooh
Expressing a sound of longing or yearning
I wish I was numb to you
I wish I didn't feel any emotions towards you
Turning blue
Metaphorically becoming cold and lifeless due to the pain you caused
I'm caught in the middle
Feeling trapped and torn between conflicting emotions
Cause you've overused
Because you have excessively exploited or abused
My trust just a little
My trust in you has been greatly diminished
Would you celebrate
Do you take joy or satisfaction in
A heart that breaks?
Seeing someone's heart being shattered or broken?
You're frozen
You are unable to move on or let go
Stuck in my mind
Permanently ingrained and occupying my thoughts
You're frozen
You are emotionally frozen or stagnant
You're frozen
You are stuck and unable to progress emotionally
Stuck in my mind
Continuously occupying my thoughts and memories
