Cold
Xibalba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see it as a reminder of myself
The cold lifeless fluid flowing through my body
I see it in me
Numbs my feeling leaves me with no remorse
For what I have done to myself and to others
Looking into bloodstained mirrors with no reflection
Nothing to dwell on but the thought of causing more pain to others
Why am I this fucking cold?
Take me out
Burn me now so that I can feel
No hope for me
Burn me now
No hope for me
The above lyrics are from Xibalba's song "Cold". This song talks about the merciless world and the singer's personality that reflects it. The lyrics focus on the singer's self-harming behavior and the numbness that he experiences, rendering him incapable of feeling any remorse for his actions towards himself and others. The lyrics also portray the singer's reflection in a blood-stained mirror, contemplating his actions, and suggests his inclination towards causing pain to others. The singer yearns for release from this self-destructive cycle and wants to feel something, even if it means being burnt.
The song portrays a deep sense of despair and hopelessness, as the singer sees no light at the end of the tunnel. The use of words like "cold" and "numbs" emphasizes the feeling of detachment and indifference. The singer's desire to feel something even if it means being burnt suggests a longing for a release from the emotional numbness.

My blood pressure rises every time I listen to this song. And then I get frustrated I can't write something this good.

i know this is a different xibalba, but i like this more than the other one. this is beatdown/hardcore with crust, doom, death and sludge metal elements.
