Cold Love
Unraveling Heart: Blake Reams' Cold Love Chronicles
Lyrics
I don’t ever wanna have to write you off
I want to avoid having to give up on you
And I don’t ever wanna find what’s really wrong
I don't want to discover the real issues
With anything again
Avoid dealing with problems again
You really didn’t have to come this far
You didn't need to go to this extent
Just to hear me say that I don’t know who you are
You came all this way to hear me admit I'm unfamiliar with who you've become
Anymore
I don't recognize you anymore
So you wanna drive around
Expressing a desire to go for a drive
Put the goddamn phone away
Advocating for putting away distractions like the phone
Afraid your’e gonna miss something
Fearful of missing out on something important
Well you did and it’s called
Reference to a missed opportunity, named "Today"
Today I hurt myself trying to help
Self-harm in attempting to assist
A heart that bends before it swells
A heart that breaks before expanding
You want someone to want who you are
Desiring to be wanted for one's true self
But who could ever love you?
Doubt about finding someone to love
It’s a cold love
Describing love as cold
It’s a cold love
Reiteration of the cold nature of love
It’s a cold love
Emphasizing the coldness of love
It’s a cold love
Repeating the idea of love being cold
I was the eastern star
Claiming a past prominence or brightness
I was the back road in
Being a less traveled path
I left the key in the door
Leaving access open, vulnerability
Been getting robbed by my friends
Feeling betrayed by close friends
I saw some pale green light
Observing an unusual, possibly mystical light
I saw the full moon stained
Seeing the full moon with a tainted perception
Rabbits foot around my neck
Wearing a rabbit's foot, a superstitious act
Throwing salt at the strays
Using rituals to ward off misfortune
You told a couple of lies
Noticing untruths spoken by the other person
I kept the masses at bay
Keeping the public away from the truth
You said you’d never run
A promise not to leave, now broken
I found you places to stay
Finding accommodations for the person
And now I’m talking to cops
Engaging with law enforcement
And now I’m walking away
Choosing to distance oneself
Our stories don’t add up
Realizing inconsistencies in stories
And now I’m digging your grave
Mentally giving up on the person, represented as digging a grave
It's hard enough just to do without
Expressing difficulty in coping without warmth or love
Cold love
Reiteration of love being cold
Better off not to think about
Suggesting it's better not to dwell on certain thoughts
It’s a cold love
Repeating the idea of cold love
It's hard enough just to do without
Emphasizing the challenge of living without warmth or love
It's a cold love
Reiteration of the concept of love being cold
Better off not to think about
Advising against contemplating certain matters
