Out In The Cold
Today's Last Tragedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your eyes are black
Your hand is frozen to the blade
You can′t escape
You can't escape
This life surrounded by your true fate
To live off of your own hate towards the world
Its getting cold
The blood pours down her veins
Just drop the knife and let me try
To soothe your mind
Keep your thought inside
I can′t sit idly by and watch you die
Anymore

Now why would you go and do
Something like that
A perfect wrist just ripped to shit
As if there was nothing else you could do
When you look down at the scars
Do you know who you are
Do you even care
Do you even fucking care
As you slice it pours down your arm
Why can't you see that your minds at war

The blood pours down her veins
Just drop the knife and let me try
To soothe your mind
Keep your thought inside
I can't sit idly by and watch you die

There is no healing
If the blade keeps on carving away
They will always stay
They will always stay




Slicing carving cutting never gets you nothing
Only frozen memories in your head

Overall Meaning

"Out in the Cold" by Today's Last Tragedy is a song about pain, suffering, and a call for help. The lyrics speak of a person who is surrounded by hate, frozen in their own pain, and unable to escape from their own fate. The opening lines, "Your eyes are black, your hand is frozen to the blade, you can't escape," paint a picture of a person who is in the grip of something beyond their control. They are lost and alone, trying to find a way out of their own pain.


The chorus, "The blood pours down her veins, just drop the knife and let me try, to soothe your mind, keep your thoughts inside, I can't sit idly by and watch you die," is a plea for help. The singer speaks directly to the person, asking them to let go of the knife and allow someone to help them. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency, as if time is running out and the person needs help now.


The second verse further explores the themes of pain and identity. The lines, "When you look down at the scars, do you know who you are, do you even care, do you even f\*\*king care," express frustration and concern. The singer is trying to understand why the person would hurt themselves and is asking if they even care about their own life. The song ends with a message of hopelessness, "There is no healing, if the blade keeps on carving away, they will always stay, slicing carving cutting never gets you nothing, only frozen memories in your head." These lines convey a sense of finality, as if there is no way out of the pain and suffering.
