Colder
Smash Into Pieces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You lead, I'll dance
the way you want me to
A sad romance
It's all or nothing

It was you and me
working perfectly
as long as I would sing your song

Now you want it all
You can have it all
Old smiles are gone

I am getting colder and colder
The games are never over
I don't wanna play no more
I don't know what I'm waiting for
I can't live my life like this no more
I'm colder - colder

You can pretend
that you don't need me now
From gold to sand
It's all or nothing

You'll be falling down
when I'm not around
I know you need me to play along

Though I know it's wrong
I keep hanging on
Old smiles are gone

I am getting colder and colder
The games are never over
I don't wanna play no more
I don't know what I'm waiting for
I can't live my life like this no more
I'm colder - colder

Nothing left to say to you now
Just go away
I still hear your worn-out phrases
inside my head
Only lies and happy faces
To me, you're dead
Still I need a dance with you again

I am getting colder and colder
The games are never over
I don't wanna play no more
I don't know what I'm waiting for




I can't live my life like this no more
I'm colder - colder

Overall Meaning

The song “Colder” by Smash Into Pieces is a tune about a relationship that has gone cold, with one partner consuming more than the other. The song features the perspective of the partner who has been taken advantage of, yet, chooses to continue the game of love. The relationship has become a sad romance, with everything riding on the line. The lyrics, “You lead, I'll dance the way you want me to,” depict the partner’s willingness to bend to the desire of the other partner.


The song describes how they worked perfectly fine when the partner was composed and sang the other’s song. However, when that is not done anymore, it seems like everything is lost. The partner now craves everything, and every smile they once shared has vanished. As a result, the singer is getting colder and colder, and they don't want to play this game anymore, but they don’t know what they are waiting for.


“Colder” is a deeply introspective song about pain and loss, yet the melody adds a sense of hopefulness to it. The tune demonstrates the sadness and confusion, perfectly sung and played, to give anyone listening a feeling of what it's like to be in a relationship consumed by need and expectation.

Ive known these guys since 2008 (Went to the same school as the drummer)  and been going to shows when only 20 people would show up to the venue. They will be big one day - REALLY BIG! They deserve it. So incredibly talented and theyve all worked so hard to get where they are now. Fantastic musicians and fantastic guys.
