Coldest Water
Walking On Cars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it all came to an end
But I survived, yeah I survived
Oh you came across the sea
Swam the ocean just for me
Now I'm alive, yeah I'm alive
What we do it's a game that you can't play
If it lasts then we could be in Heaven
But it stops and it leaves us to dry
But here I go again, back the way I came
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Here I go again, no one else to blame
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Oh, into the coldest water
(Ooh, ooh, oh, oh)
I was talking to a friend
About what happens in the end and realized
We realized that one day
We would be the ground
And all the colours we are now
Would fade in time, they fade in time
What we do it's a game that you can't play
And we're losing it every time
If it lasts then we could be in Heaven
But it stops and it leaves us to dry
But here I go again, back the way I came
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Here I go again, no one else to blame
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Oh, into the coldest water
(Ooh, ooh, oh, oh)
Into the coldest water
Yeah I used to be like that
No, it's not a long way back, Oh
Yeah I used to be like that
No, it's not a long way back
You should have seen how they found me
Here I go again, Back the way I came
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Here I go again, no one else to blame
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
Yeah I used to be like that
No, it's not a long way back (Into the coldest water)
Yeah I used to be like that
No, it's not a long way back (Into the coldest water)
The first verse talks about the singer's journey of looking for a friend, but their search ended abruptly. However, they were able to survive the experience. The second part of the verse is about someone who, despite the distance and challenges, went through extraordinary lengths to be with the singer. The singer is now alive because of this person's dedication.
In the chorus, the singer reflects on life as a game. They say that it's a game that we can't win and that we're losing it every time. The only hope is that, if whatever we do lasts, we could end up in heaven. However, most of the time, things stop, leaving us to dry. The singer uses the metaphor of jumping into the coldest water to indicate taking risks despite the possibility of failing, while acknowledging that there may be no one else to blame but themselves.
The bridge talks about how the singer is aware that they, like everyone else, are aging and will eventually die, and so will everything around them. The colors and liveliness will fade away with time.

I was looking for a friend
I was searching for companionship and human connection
And it all came to an end
But my search led to disappointment and a dead end
But I survived, yeah I survived
Despite the setback, I managed to keep going and move forward
Oh you came across the sea
Then, unexpectedly, someone arrived in my life from afar
Swam the ocean just for me
They went to great lengths to reach me, making a tremendous effort just to be near me
Now I'm alive, yeah I'm alive
Thanks to this new connection, I feel revitalized and full of life again
What we do it's a game that you can't play
The relationship between us is complicated and unpredictable, and cannot be controlled or easily understood
And we're losing it every time
Our efforts to keep things stable and maintain the connection are often unsuccessful
If it lasts then we could be in Heaven
However, if the relationship survives and persists, it could be blissful and perfect
But it stops and it leaves us to dry
If the relationship fails, it will leave us feeling empty and without hope
But here I go again, back the way I came
Despite the risks, I find myself returning to the same challenges and challenges that I faced before
Into the coldest, into the coldest water
I am diving right into the most difficult and uncomfortable aspects of my life
Here I go again, no one else to blame
And I know that I must take full responsibility for my own actions and choices
I was talking to a friend
I was having a conversation about the nature of our existence and what the future holds
About what happens in the end and realized
And it suddenly dawned on me that everything we know and love will eventually come to an end
We realized that one day
We both became aware that it's just a matter of time before our own lives reach the inevitable conclusion
We would be the ground
We will be eventually consumed by the earth itself, becoming part of the natural world around us
And all the colours we are now
All the richness and variety of our experiences and emotions will eventually fade away
Would fade in time, they fade in time
Leaving us with nothing but memories of a life that once was
Yeah I used to be like that
I reflect on my past and remember a time when I was in a similar situation
No, it's not a long way back, Oh
I realize that it's not so far away, and I can find my way back to that point again
You should have seen how they found me
I am grateful for the unexpected turn that brought this person into my life, and I know that it was meant to be

I'm sucking every song up from Walking On Cars like I'm an addict. His voice is just from a different world. Ain't nobody singing like him...
@davidgutierrez5041
Not same music style, but it sounds similar in many ways to plan three. Check "When everything comes to an end". I love both music :)
@xotbirdox
He actually sounds a lot like Charlie Simpson, I think! :)
