coldrain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Without a reason to move on
I was placed in front of many doors
But I still kept standing still
I was lost and I was scared
Cause I was young but now I know
This is my everything
And I'm not ashamed to say it out loud
Will we ever know?
Why the hell it is so hard to be ourselves
To be true inside
Is a war we must fight
I grew up as someone from the outside
Because I looked different
But now I realize it was all my fault
Cause I only tried to blend in to become just like them
Now I know it's so much better
Finding ways to be more different
There's something more that I can give
You have to fight for yourself
There's one question left...
Do you know yourself?
The lyrics to coldrain's "Doors" are about self-discovery and finding the strength to be true to oneself. The opening lines describe a feeling of stagnation - standing in the dark, without a reason to move forward. The singer is faced with many doors but can't seem to make a decision, feeling lost and scared. However, they proclaim that this is their everything, and they're not ashamed to say it out loud. The chorus poses a universal question: why is it so hard to be true to oneself? The line "to be true inside is a war we must fight" emphasizes the struggle that comes with authenticity.
The second verse details the singer's personal experience with feeling like an outsider. They grew up looking different and felt the need to blend in to fit in with others. However, they realize that being different is something to be celebrated and embraced, and finding ways to be even more unique is important. The song ends with a call to action, urging listeners to fight for themselves and to ask the crucial question: "do you know yourself?"
Overall, "Doors" is an uplifting song about the importance of self-discovery and the journey towards inner peace. The lyrics are relatable and empowering, encouraging listeners to be true to themselves and embrace their individuality.
Line by Line Meaning
I was standing in the dark
I felt lost and defeated
Without a reason to move on
I had no motivation to keep going
I was placed in front of many doors
I had many opportunities and options to choose from
But I still kept standing still
I was paralyzed by fear and indecision
I was lost and I was scared
I felt disoriented and frightened
Cause I was young but now I know
Inexperience contributed to my confusion
This is my everything
Finding my passion gave me a sense of purpose
And I'm not ashamed to say it out loud
I am confident and proud of who I am
Will we ever know?
Reflecting on the uncertainty and mystery of life
Why the hell it is so hard to be ourselves
Expressing the challenge of staying true to oneself
To be true inside
The importance of being genuine and authentic
Is a war we must fight
Staying true to oneself requires a conscious effort and resilience
I grew up as someone from the outside
Feeling like an outsider due to differences
Because I looked different

Cause I only tried to blend in to become just like them
Prioritizing conformity over individuality
Now I know it's so much better

Teasing the listener with an important query
Do you know yourself?
Asking if the listener truly understands their own identity and desires
