Static X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The Stars
We writhe
We are
Your name
Desire
Your flesh
Cold
We're so cold
We are so
Cold
We're so cold
Your mouth
These words
Silence
It turns
Humming
We laugh
My head
Falls back
Cold
We're so cold
We are so
Cold
We're so cold
The song โColdโ by Static X has a chorus that repeats the phrases โWe are so coldโ and โWeโre so coldโ in a somewhat menacing, almost chilling tone. These lyrics evoke a sense of detachment, as though the band is almost aloof to the world around them. The combination of the lyrics with the melody and beat suggest a sense of rhythm to emotions or feelings, one that is inherently cold and dark.
Throughout the song, the lyrics mix elements of sex and death, with lines such as โWe are your name desire, your flesh we areโ combining elements of intense, physical pleasure with the inherent darkness of death. When the lyrics describe the couple laughing, itโs still in the same chilly, unemotional tone, as though the connection between them is sublimated in a shared experience of lifelessness. The repeated lyrics denote the ongoing state of abstracted being or feeling cold.
The lyrics of โColdโ are unsettling, and they paint a picture of individuals who feel trapped in a world they canโt quite understand. The juxtaposition of beauty and death, of pleasure and detachment, creates a haunting sense of mystery that is entirely appropriate for a song of this nature. The lyrics suggest individuals who are cut off from the world, who experience life in a fundamentally different way than those around them. There is a suggestion of a deeper, underlying malaise that underpins everything in their world, as though the only way to access a semblance of life is through the numbing coldness of the lyrics.
