Frozen
Sandran Bull Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
You're so consumed with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I suffer the same
If I lose you
My heart will be broken
Love is a bird, she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen
When your heart's not open
Mmmmmm, if I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
Mmmmmm, we'd never be apart
Mmmmmm, give yourself to me
Mmmmmm, you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
The lyrics to Madonna's song "Frozen" are a poignant expression of the ways in which emotional walls and closed hearts freeze individuals in negative patterns of thought and behavior. The first verse suggests that the way we view our lives shapes our experiences. If we only see what we want to see and fail to open our hearts to the possibilities around us, we become frozen and unable to truly live. When we prioritize our desires and disregard the feelings and needs of others, we become consumed and disconnected from the world outside of ourselves. This leads to feelings of isolation and brokenness.
In the chorus, the singer expresses a desire to thaw the heart of the person they are addressing, longing to connect with them in a way that will end their separation. Love is presented metaphorically as a bird that needs to fly - it needs freedom and openness to thrive. The singer recognizes that they, too, are vulnerable to the same pain and brokenness as the person they are addressing. They want to break free from the cycle of freezing their heart and impose their own closed narratives on the world.
Overall, "Frozen" is a song about the dangers of living in isolation, disconnected from our emotions and the world around us. It suggests that real, transformative love and growth can only occur when we open ourselves up to the world and let our hearts thaw.
