Cold As Winter
Chilling Depths: Decoding the Icy Metaphors in Errol Allen's 'Cold As Winter'
Lyrics
Oh, yeah
Expression of affirmation or agreement
Ohh
Expressive sound, possibly indicating emotion or emphasis
Oh, yeah
Reiteration of expression of affirmation or agreement
Cold as winter, diamonds on my neck thought they was icy
Comparing the coldness to winter, mentioning diamonds on the neck that were thought to be icy, possibly symbolizing a deceptive appearance
Influential, keep the juice contained, like a Hi-C
Describing influence, keeping one's energy controlled like a juice box (Hi-C)
Incidental, I feel more supreme than a hype beast
Feeling superior to a person excessively interested in hype or fashion
Instrumental, I got tired of rapping over type beats
Expressing a preference for original beats, tired of rapping over commonly used ones (type beats)
Don’t answer my phone, it’s like my phone ran out of service
Avoiding calls, suggesting a desire for solitude or disconnection
I hope they don’t think that I do all of this on purpose
Clarifying that actions are not intentional, possibly referring to a misunderstood or misrepresented image
I don’t answer phones, I only answer if it’s urgent
Only responding to urgent matters, emphasizing priorities
I could feel your pain, it’s like my middle finger hurting
Sensing the emotional pain of others, likened to physical discomfort
Never really had communication with the family
Limited communication with family members
I don’t talk to people, must be from another planet
Feeling disconnected from people, possibly due to a sense of being different or misunderstood
I don’t understand how my ole lady understand me
Perplexed by the understanding of a significant other
The truth is bittersweet, but it’s just sugar coated candy
Recognizing that truth can be challenging but is often presented in a pleasing manner
I could spend 10 dollars on a fit and look expensive
Expressing the ability to appear affluent with a small budget
I’m too busy working, got no time to be pretending
Busy with work, avoiding pretense or falsehood
Tried to play me soft, so now my heart done got cemented
Having a guarded heart due to past attempts to deceive
You told me that you love me, but I know that you ain’t meant it
Doubting the sincerity of love expressed by someone
Cold as winter, diamonds on my neck thought they was icy
Reiteration of the coldness metaphor and diamond imagery
Influential, keep the juice contained, like a Hi-C
Emphasizing influence and control over one's energy
Incidental, I feel more supreme than a hype beast
Feeling superior to those excessively focused on trends
Instrumental, I got tired of rapping over type beats
Expressing a dislike for common beats in the music industry
Don’t answer my phone, it’s like my phone ran out of service
Continuing the theme of avoiding calls or communication
I hope they don’t think that I do all of this on purpose
Clarifying that actions are not intentional, possibly referring to a misunderstood or misrepresented image
I don’t answer phones, I only answer if it’s urgent
Reiterating the selective response to urgent matters
I could feel your pain, it’s like my middle finger hurting
Drawing a parallel between feeling others' pain and physical discomfort
Don’t bother nobody, just be floating through dimensions
Living without bothering others, navigating different dimensions
How I had no money, but still gotta to pay attention?
Reflecting on the paradox of paying attention despite financial challenges
Wanted my own space, but I forgot that space was endless
Desiring personal space but realizing the vastness of space
And I come from the boot, they don’t tread lightly in them trenches
Indicating a tough upbringing in a place with challenges
Really know some people that be hating for no reason
Knowing people who harbor unfounded hatred
Only speak the truth, but ya’ll think truth got different meanings
Asserting honesty despite others' misconceptions
I see armageddon every month when I be dreaming
Experiencing apocalyptic dreams regularly
So how do I stay focused, all I’m battling is demons?
Struggling to maintain focus amid inner struggles
Cold as winter, diamonds on my neck thought they was icy
Reiteration of the coldness metaphor and diamond imagery
Influential, keep the juice contained, like a Hi-C
Emphasizing influence and control over one's energy
Incidental, I feel more supreme than a hype beast
Feeling superior to those excessively focused on trends
Instrumental, I got tired of rapping over type beats
Expressing a dislike for common beats in the music industry
Don’t answer my phone, it’s like my phone ran out of service
Continuing the theme of avoiding calls or communication
I hope they don’t think that I do all of this on purpose
Clarifying that actions are not intentional, possibly referring to a misunderstood or misrepresented image
I don’t answer phones, I only answer if it’s urgent
Reiterating the selective response to urgent matters
I could feel your pain, it’s like my middle finger hurting
Drawing a parallel between feeling others' pain and physical discomfort
