Cold Trees
Wolfgun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where there once was only kindness
I saw you far away, with that same old knowing grin
That would melt the fears I had about our love
You and I, we ran; yeah, we hoped we'd never lose this thought
We'd keep it close next to our hearts
Favoring our wants, we dispelled what darkness wrought
Cold, dead trees
Brings me to my beaten knees
Brings me to my knees
Watching out for us, every day the sun would rise
Flooding light into our eyes
In between the forest leaves, all the rays would give us hope
Give us something now to live for
And I knew that where we went, there was no turning back
A permanent reflection on our souls
Gathering our thoughts, what we never really knew could be so true
What has this world done to me and you?
Cold, dead trees
Brings me to my beaten knees
Brings me to my knees
The lyrics to Wolfgun's song "Cold Trees" reflect on the ups and downs of a relationship, taking the listener on a journey that explores the different stages of love. The opening lines, "Looking back, I find many holes along the path/Where there once was only kindness," suggest regret and a sense of loss for a time when things were easier and more hopeful. The singer then sees their partner in the distance, and their "knowing grin" reassures the singer that their love is still strong.
The lyrics go on to describe a time when the couple felt invincible, running through life together and keeping their love close to their hearts. They pushed away any darkness and obstacles, focusing only on the hope and light that they found in each other. However, as time passed, they begin to see the harsh realities of life and the world around them, which brings them "to [their] beaten knees."
The mention of "cold, dead trees" at the end of each chorus encapsulates the overall tone of the song, hinting at a feeling of sadness and melancholy that pervades the lyrical landscape. Despite this, the song also speaks to the resilience of love and the way that it can provide hope even in the darkest of times.

Looking back, I find many holes along the path
Reflecting on the past, I see many mistakes that were made
Where there once was only kindness
A time when there was only love and care between us
I saw you far away, with that same old knowing grin
You were at a distance, but the familiar smile reassured me
That would melt the fears I had about our love
The fear of losing our love was eased by your smile
You and I, we ran; yeah, we hoped we'd never lose this thought
Together we ran, hoping to never forget our love
We'd keep it close next to our hearts
We held our love dear to our hearts
Favoring our wants, we dispelled what darkness wrought
We focused on our desires and overcame the negativity around us
The reality of where we are, and where we've been
Acknowledging the truth of our current situation and past journey
Cold, dead trees
The barren and lifeless trees
Brings me to my beaten knees
It becomes overwhelming and brings me down
Watching out for us, every day the sun would rise
The sun's recurring presence was a constant reminder of hope and protection
Flooding light into our eyes
The sun's light brought us clarity and enlightenment
In between the forest leaves, all the rays would give us hope
The sun's rays shining through the leaves gave us hope for the future
Give us something now to live for
The hope the sun brought gave us a reason to keep going
And I knew that where we went, there was no turning back
Realizing that there was no going back from our journey
A permanent reflection on our souls
The experience left a lasting impact on us
Gathering our thoughts, what we never really knew could be so true
Reflecting on our experiences, we discovered truths we never knew existed
What has this world done to me and you?
Questioning how life's experiences have affected us
