The Cold
Embracing Desolation: The Cold's Poetic Rebellion
Lyrics
Why should I fight?
Questioning the purpose of fighting or resisting.
'Cause this job won't do me right
Expressing dissatisfaction with a job that doesn't benefit the person.
I sleep alone on a bed of debt
Describing a state of financial burden and loneliness.
I'll just go out, get too drunk, I'm blacking out
Escaping problems through excessive drinking and losing consciousness.
And wake up with a head of poison
Waking up with the consequences of excessive drinking, feeling poisoned.
Hey, it's been nice
Reflecting on a past experience or relationship that was enjoyable.
But the cold can't kill me twice
Acknowledging the harshness of life ("the cold") but expressing resilience.
It's just dirt, it's just shade
Minimizing challenges, describing them as just dirt and shade.
Hey, it's been swell
Acknowledging a positive experience but indicating a desire for separation.
But fuck off and go to hell
Strongly expressing the desire for someone to leave and go to hell.
I'll just sit and I'll just stay
Choosing to remain in a situation without taking action.
In hell I could be, I could live there happily
Fantasizing about finding happiness in hell, suggesting a preference for solitude.
Without a door, without a window
Describing a place of solitude without typical features like doors and windows.
See me there if you promise not to stare
Inviting observation but with a condition not to stare; enjoying personal freedom.
It's just me having a ball again
Embracing a carefree and enjoyable existence in solitude.
Hey, it's been nice
Repeating the acknowledgment of a positive experience but emphasizing resilience.
But the cold can't kill me twice
Reiterating the idea that the challenges ("the cold") won't defeat the person.
It's just dirt, it's just shade
Downplaying difficulties, describing them as just dirt and shade.
Hey, it's been swell
Recalling a positive experience but expressing a strong desire for separation.
But fuck off and go to hell
Reiterating a forceful expression of wanting someone to leave and go to hell.
I'll just sit and I'll just stay
Choosing to remain in a situation without taking action, similar to line 12.
