Frozen
Tom.DJ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Read it in a book I almost looked
In the frozen lake she comes and takes
Give up my whole world she's just a girl
In my frozen mind I'm stuck in time
I can't get past this thing for one more spring
See, she fits to me so easily
I, I'm borderline almost everytime
She's a translucent girl
In my frozen mind I'm lost in time
I take one more breath it's worse than death
Turn on all the lights alive with fright
See, she fits to me too easily
I, I'm borderline almost everytime
Give up my whole world
She's a complicated girl
In my frozen mind I'm stuck in time
Give up my whole world
She's a complicated girl
In the frozen lake she comes and takes
In this song, the singer is struggling with the memory of a girl who he's unable to let go of. The use of the phrase "between the lines" suggests that this memory is not overt or obvious, but instead hidden in the subtext of his life. The singer admits that he's read about this girl in a book, almost tempted to look for her again, but he's hesitant to do so. The image of the frozen lake evokes a sense of stagnation, as if the singer is trapped in this memory and unable to move beyond it. Although the girl is able to take over his entire world, the singer ultimately realizes that she is just a girl.
The repetition of "she fits to me so easily" reinforces the singer's sense of entrapment, as if this girl is meant to be a part of his life forever. However, he also acknowledges that he's "borderline almost every time," suggesting that he's not entirely convinced of this fact. The line "I take one more breath it's worse than death" suggests that the pain of holding onto this girl is almost unbearable, and the appearance of the girl in the frozen lake is a reminder that she's still there, waiting for him to give in to her.
In the end, the singer seems to be resigned to his fate, repeating the lines "give up my whole world, she's a complicated girl". He seems to acknowledge that the memory of this girl is too strong to overcome, and that he'll never be able to fully let her go. The line "she comes and takes" reinforces this idea that the girl holds a certain power over him, even in her absence.
