Frozen Feastings
Those Who Lie Beneath Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so cold, so goddamn cold.
Mountain pass in mid December is no place for any man.
It will tear you up, rip you down,
With the worst type of cold.
It creeps in shattering your insides,
With a feeling you'll never know.
It's so cold, so fucking cold.
Our minds start to slow.
Nothing to eat, nothing to drink,
Nowhere to go.
Snowfall's trapping us in deeper as the days move.
We know we have nowhere to go.
It's so cold, so goddamn cold.
Mountain pass in mid December is no place for man.
It will tear you up with the worse type of cold.

Hunger strikes with rage, food chain kicks in.
Two of us have died, five of us to go.
What are we to do?
I step up with fear in my words,
And no remorse in my voice;
"We must eat our dead or we will become one of them.
We must eat our dead, eat our dead!

Slice them up, eat the liver first.
We feast like gods knowing it won't last.
Weeks go by; all we have is more fucking cold.

Shattering your insides with a feeling you will never know.
It's so cold, our minds start to slow.
Nothing to eat, nothing to drink,
Nowhere to go.
Snowfall's trapping us in deeper as the days move.
We know we have nowhere to go.
What a way to die; with blood rage,
Frozen face down in the snow.





It's so fucking cold.

Overall Meaning

The song "Frozen Feastings" by Those Who Lie Beneath tells a story of a group of people trapped in a mountain pass during mid-December. The lyrics convey the intense cold that is so unbearable, it shatters their insides, slows their minds, and leaves them with nothing to eat, drink or go. As the days go by, the snowfall traps them in deeper, and they are forced to face hunger and starvation. In desperation, the singer suggests eating the dead to survive. Despite the fear and remorse, they start eating their dead companions, and the song describes the eerie feast like "feasting of gods."


The lyrics of "Frozen Feastings" are an allegory for the harsh realities of life, where survival instinct takes over, and people are forced to take extreme measures to survive. The singer's dilemma and the sense of horror and desperation invoked by the song's lyrics display themes of human depravity, the savagery of survival, and the choices people make in dire circumstances.
