Frozen
Within Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold
All colors seem to fade away
I can't reach my soul

I would stop running
If I knew there was a chance
It tears me apart to sacrifice it all
But I'm forced to let go

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?

I can feel your sorrow

You won't forgive me
But I know, you'll be alright
It tears me apart that you will never know
But I have to let go

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you
When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen but what can I do?

Everything will slip away
Shattered pieces will remain
When memories fade into emptiness
Only time will tell it's tale, if it all has been in vain

I can't feel my senses
I just feel the cold

Frozen
What can I do?
Frozen

Tell me I'm frozen but what can I do?
Can't tell the reasons, I did it for you




When lies turn into truth, I sacrificed for you
You say that I am frozen, Frozen

First came across your music when I was in middle school. I picked up a CD on a whim. I am really picky with music and honestly thought I wasn't going to care too much for it but I instantly loved all the songs.
My favorites being
All I need (the video reminds me of the movie 'The Cell')
Frozen
Memories
What have you done
Running up that hill
Angels
The howling (that was the first one I fell in love with then angels but the order has changed a bit since middle school)

I heard this song when I was 18 years old. Now I’m 34 and I’m also flying into space. There were times when the topical was presented without vulgarity, as it really is in combination with amazing music. Now I’m not ashamed to say that I’m old and in my time there was such high-quality and soulful music!
