Cold and Alone
Tree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A hopeless dream, yeah I know but she had to let me go
When I'm asleep she comes to me, dancing her way through waves of guillotines
A hopeless dream, yeah I know but she had to let me go
Cold and alone cold and alone cold and alone again
In memories she kisses me so tenderly I gotta save myself and set my soul free
Cold and alone again
So I lie to myself say I'll find somebody else

A hopeless dream, yeah I know but she had to let me go
I am fully aware that getting back with her is an impossible thought, but it's because she chose to let me go, after all.
When I'm asleep she comes to me, dancing her way through waves of guillotines
Even when I'm asleep, she visits me through my dreams; despite the dangerous obstacles in my dreamscape like guillotines, she moves gracefully towards me through them.
Cold and alone cold and alone cold and alone again
I feel intensely isolated and deprived, with nobody to ease my restlessness but my own dreary self.
In memories she kisses me so tenderly I gotta save myself and set my soul free
In my memory, her sweet kisses still linger and haunt me, and it's upon me to find solace and set my mind and spirit free from her grip.
So I lie to myself say I'll find somebody else
I keep telling myself that I'll move on and find a new partner, but deep down, I know I'm lying.
But there's no girl in this world that could replace you
Despite my internal conflict, I know for sure that there is no woman in the world who can ever replace her in my heart and soul.
