Cold
The B.H.D Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cold ceiling
Tiles something
To remind me for a
While

Of the things I used to
Do back when
I still had love for
You

Oh I just don't
Know what song I should
Play on that
Piano

Maybe our favorite
Song that we used to
Love oh it's been so
Long

God I hate metaphors
And hypocrites
And lines that don't
Rhyme

God I hate jersey
Jocks and broken
Clocks and the passage
Of time

Stuck in a cold room just
Me and piano
There's no doors out
There's nowhere to go

The water's rising but it's
Still shallow
If I wanted to I could
Jump out the window

I've gotta
Up off my
Ass and do
Something
Wipe the dirt of my
Face in this empty
Space and start to
Sing

I don't memories
Just tiny time machines
Of moments I had
With you

I don't have written
Lines or the new york
Times but I'll have
Them soon

God I hate metaphors
And hypocrites
And lines that don't
Rhyme

God I hate jersey
Jocks and broken
Clocks and the passage
Of time

Stuck in a cold room just
Me and piano
There's no doors out
There's nowhere to go

The water's rising but it's
Still shallow
If I wanted to I could
Jump out the window

Stuck in a cold room just
Me and piano
There's no doors out
There's nowhere to go

The water's rising but it's
Still shallow
If I wanted to I could
Jump out the window
God I hate metaphors
And hypocrites
And lines that don't
Rhyme

God I hate jersey
Jocks and broken
Clocks and the passage
Of time

Stuck in a cold room just
Me and piano
There's no doors out
There's nowhere to go

The water's rising but it's
Still shallow
If I wanted to I could
Jump out the window

Stuck in a cold room just
Me and piano
There's no doors out
There's nowhere to go

The water's rising but it's
Still shallow
If I wanted to I could
Jump out the window

Cold ceiling
Tiles something
To remind me for a
While

Of the things I used to
Do back when




I still had love for
You

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The B.H.D's song "Cold" seem to express feelings of sadness, frustration, and longing. The opening lines depict a cold and empty space, with the mention of a cold ceiling and tiles serving as a reminder of past memories. The singer reflects on the things they used to do when they still had love for someone, hinting at a lost relationship or connection.


The mention of a piano adds a touch of nostalgia, as the singer contemplates what song they should play on it. The reference to "our favorite song that we used to love" suggests a shared experience with someone special, but also implies that it has been a long time since they enjoyed that song together.


The chorus reveals a deep dissatisfaction towards certain aspects of life. The singer expresses hatred towards metaphors, hypocrites, lines that don't rhyme, as well as jersey jocks, broken clocks, and the passage of time. These indicate a sense of frustration and disillusionment, perhaps with the artificiality of language, societal expectations, and the passage of time reminding them of lost opportunities or unfulfilled dreams.


The verses go back to the image of being stuck in a cold room with just a piano, highlighting a sense of isolation and being trapped. The water rising represents a growing sense of suffocation and a feeling of being overwhelmed. Despite the shallow waters, the singer contemplates the possibility of escaping by jumping out the window, suggesting a desire for freedom and a break from their current situation.


Overall, the lyrics delve into themes of lost love, longing for the past, frustration with life's limitations, and a yearning for escape.


Line by Line Meaning

Cold ceiling
The emotionally detached state I am in


Tiles something
The mundane reminders of the past


To remind me for a while
To momentarily bring back memories


Of the things I used to do back when
The actions I took when I still cared


I still had love for you
Before my feelings changed


Oh I just don't know what song I should play on that piano
I am unsure of how to express myself musically


Maybe our favorite song that we used to love oh it's been so long
Perhaps the song that once held significance to us, but time has passed


God I hate metaphors
I despise cryptic comparisons


And hypocrites and lines that don't rhyme
And insincere people and verses that lack harmony


God I hate jersey jocks and broken clocks and the passage of time
I detest arrogant athletes, malfunctioning timepieces, and the relentless passage of time


Stuck in a cold room just me and piano
Trapped in an emotionless space with only a piano for company


There's no doors out there's nowhere to go
There are no opportunities for escape


The water's rising but it's still shallow
Although the emotional intensity is increasing, it remains superficial


If I wanted to I could jump out the window
If I chose to, I could take a drastic action to escape


I've gotta up off my ass and do something
I need to motivate myself and take action


Wipe the dirt off my face in this empty space and start to sing
Cleanse myself of negativity and find my voice in this vacant environment


I don't have memories just tiny time machines
I lack vivid recollections, only possessing fleeting moments


Of moments I had with you
Of the experiences we shared


I don't have written lines or the New York Times
I lack scripted words and recognition from prestigious sources


But I'll have them soon
But I am determined to acquire them in the future
