Cold
Tapping The Urge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The spaces in between
If you can tell me now
What it means to be
You have been found out
I have been deceived
By the one that I need
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You dont know, you don't know
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go, don't go, no
You will go without
A better part of me
There will be no doubt
What this all could mean
You will be found out
I can not believe
In the one that I need
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You don't know, you don't know, don't know
And tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go, don't go away
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
How'd you get so high
Why you're keeping me low
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
And tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go
Tell me why you gotta be so cold
Tell me anything about you I don't know
I don't know by now
Know by now
Tell me how we're gonna make it last
You're ready to fly
I'm ready to crash
Don't go
Yeah, don't go
The lyrics to Tapping The Urge's song "Cold" seem to be about a relationship between two people that has gone wrong. The singer is questioning why the other person in the relationship is so cold, and cannot seem to connect emotionally. The singer is also wondering how they will be able to make their relationship work, as they have different intentions and desires - the other person is ready to fly while the singer is ready to crash. There is a sense of desperation and vulnerability in the lyrics, as the singer is trying to get the other person to open up and connect with them.
The phrase "I will do without the spaces in between" suggests that the singer is willing to overlook the gaps in communication and understanding between themselves and the other person, if only they can find a way to make the relationship work. However, the repeated use of the phrase "tell me" emphasizes the singer's frustration and lack of understanding of the other person's motives and desires.
