Cold Blooded
ZHU Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm afraid of your touch
Such a cold blooded love
But I love it too much
You had me on your list
The target of your mission
All these times you would be missing me
The game we're playing is addictive
And you know I'll risk it all to win it
'Cause I know you better than you think I do
Lately, I get this feeling that you're watching me
Even when I'm fast asleep, or am I crazy?
The paranoia's sitting in so deep
I don't know what to believe
Tell me what you found
A lunatic in my head spying
I hope you know that psychedelic love
Can cause a great excitement, I've tried it
Such a cold blooded love
I'm afraid of your touch
Such a cold blooded love
But I love it so much
Such a cold blooded love
I'm afraid of your touch
Such a cold blooded love
But I love it too much
You had me on your list
The target of your mission
All these times you would be missing me
Is really guilt admission, baby
The game we're playing is addictive
And you know I'll risk it all to win it
'Cause I know you better than you think I do
No one knows you're cold blooded, psycho
Waiting for your next move
No one knows you're cold blooded, psycho
Waiting for your next move, baby
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
No one knows
The lyrics of ZHU's song Cold Blooded is about a complex and addictive love between two people but with a hint of paranoia and suspicion. The song expresses the singer's fear of falling in love with someone who, despite their charming personality, could also be capable of doing harm. The love is described as cold-blooded, which means it lacks warmth or feeling, but the singer is still attracted to it. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of their lover’s manipulative nature but continues to play the game. The lines, ‘All these times you would be missing me, Is really guilt admission, baby’ explain how the singer realizes that their partner’s absence is a sign of regret for their own actions. The chorus, ‘Such a cold-blooded love, I'm afraid of your touch, But I love it too much’ sums up their dilemma of wanting to be with them despite the risk of getting hurt.
The singer then hints at some form of paranoia, suggesting their lover's unpredictable behavior is causing them anxiety. They are unsure whether they are being watched even while they sleep. The line, ‘A lunatic in my head spying' could be a reference to their own mind playing tricks on them. The bridge reflects their knowledge of their lover's nature, their addiction to his charm, and willingness to stay in a relationship, even if it meant taking a considerable risk. The lyrics, ‘The game we're playing is addictive, And you know I'll risk it all to win it’ highlights their attraction to the risk and its consequences.

This is my go to album every time I hop in the car. Hits harder when driving at night on the freeway
Cianalee Martin
I can so agree with that

Just dancing in my bed, going over my heartbreak and zhu makes it all worth it❤i love this man
brandon brown
you'll be fine. now it will give you time for personal growth, better to start fresh than really deep and traumatic. With today's dating/relationship culture honesty seems to lack, comes from lack of morales. people grow apart and the point of this message is to focus on you. i highly recommend Alan Watts - The Real You. helped me in some dark times like ZHU. Amazing music but wishing you the best. ✌

I'll always have a special place in my heart for Cocaine Model, those distant, sexy lyrics combined with that amazing sub-bass but this song will always be my favorite by Zhu, at least off of this album and Nightday EP. First time I heard it I dropped 200ug's of LSD and it just spoke to me. This bass hit so heavy that I listened to it literally 17 times on repeat before I tried another song off the album.
Cianalee Martin
Such a banger! One of my favorites by him

Zhu es incredible! 🇲🇽🎶
