Cold Light of Day
The Third Ending Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Seems like I've shut down on the inside
I wonder why I hold on
To things that won't be here long
Don't make me question my awareness
Something is rising from the darkness
You can't hold it down
I can't hold it down
The opening lines of "Cold Light Of Day" by The Third Ending express a feeling of confusion and sadness. The metaphorical landslide represents a sudden shift or change that cannot be control, and the singer has resigned themselves to feeling that their emotions have died. The lyrics indicate a sense of detachment from reality, as the singer struggles to make sense of their thoughts and emotions. They feel like they are stuck in a perpetual cycle of holding onto things that will inevitably slip away from their grasp, which leads to them questioning their sense of self-awareness. Despite the internal struggle, something deep inside is bubbling to the surface, hinted at by the reference to darkness. Perhaps it’s a spark of hope or motivation, or it could be something darker, but either way, it cannot be contained.
Line by Line Meaning
I know it's a mystery, this landslide
I acknowledge that the reason for this sudden change is puzzling like a landslide
Seems like I've shut down on the inside
It feels like I have lost all emotions internally
I wonder why I hold on
I am curious about the reason behind my desire to cling onto things
To things that won't be here long
To materialistic things that are temporary
Don't make me question my awareness
Do not make me doubt my self-awareness
Something is rising from the darkness
Something is emerging from the unknown or negative situation
You can't hold it down
You cannot restrain the force that is coming
I can't hold it down
I am incapable of controlling the arising force
