Even Robots Need Blankets
Love's Cry in the Cold: Unveiling the Depths of Mayday Parade's Melody
Lyrics
It happens every time
Expressing a recurring experience or situation.
If it counts I'll lose my courage when I need it the most
Fear of losing courage when it is most needed.
Then it comes crawling up after
Emotion or issue resurfaces unexpectedly.
Begs me to ask her what I already know
Reluctance to confront a known truth.
Singing "Oh, love get me out of the cold"
Seeking love as a source of comfort.
If I promise that I take you there with me
Promising to share the experience of overcoming difficulties together.
Would you go, I found
Discovery or realization.
In one step I'll get closer to heaven than you'll ever know
Claiming to reach a heightened state of happiness or fulfillment.
You may never know
Highlighting the possibility of not fully understanding someone else's experience.
Feeling out again
Repetition of a familiar emotional state.
Go and try to be your man when there's a gun to your head
Attempting to be strong in challenging situations.
After you've found out your good enough wasn't good enough for everyone else
Realization that personal efforts may not be appreciated by others.
Singing "Oh, love get me out of the cold"
Reiteration of the desire for love to provide warmth and comfort.
Hold me right by the fire and I'll show you what home means now
Offering closeness and intimacy as a solution to emotional coldness.
The words came with a new kind of sadness
New emotions introduced, possibly melancholy.
They meant everything, you mean everything to me
Expressing the significant value of someone to the speaker.
I'll take the first train out of this town
Expressing a desire to escape the current situation.
With a glare in my eye and my pockets full, ready to die
Ready to face challenges, even with a sense of recklessness.
And when I get hazy I will think just maybe you're out there somewhere
Hopeful thoughts about finding someone in the unknown.
Singing "Oh, love get me out of the cold"
Repeating the plea for love to provide warmth and comfort.
If I promise that I take you there with me
Reiterating the promise to share experiences together.
Would you go, I found
Revelation or discovery that leads to a closer connection with happiness or fulfillment.
In one step I'll get closer to heaven than you'll ever know
Claiming a heightened state of happiness or fulfillment.
You may never know
Reiterating the theme of not fully understanding someone else's experience.
Singing "Oh, love get me out of the cold"
Repeating the plea for love to provide warmth and comfort.
Hold me right by the fire and I'll show you what home means now
Offering closeness and intimacy as a solution to emotional coldness.
The words came with a new kind of sadness
New emotions introduced, possibly melancholy.
They meant everything, you mean everything to me
Expressing the significant value of someone to the speaker.
