Cold As Ice

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

about

This song was influenced by tropical house, but unlike most songs in that genre, which sound catchy and cheerful, I took the inspiration to a whole different scenario in order to create a darker song. I sang in quite a low register on the verses, which is a nice contrast to the chorus, which has higher notes and a stronger beat.

It's a song about others not knowing who you truly are, mostly because you don't even know how to show who you are. Therefore, it's quite a complicated topic to talk about, as it involves not only a lack of interest from other people, but also the inability to express yourself. This song deals with emotions in a psychological way, and that's why writing it was liberating, yet quite hard at the same time.

lyrics

You just know what I show, and I don't show shit
I'm still unknown to you
(Once again) I keep asking myself
"Why am I this good at pretending I care?"

But I'm gonna let myself go
I'm gonna do what I want
And no one will see me fall

Lock the door and watch me cry
You could even watch me die
I can't take this poison inside me
As the walls are coming down
I keep staring at the ground
I'm cold as, cold as ice

I hide what I don't want you to see underneath the floral rug
And the problems disappear
I'm smiling like a fucking Barbie doll
But all I wanna do is scream all day, all night

But I'm gonna let myself go
I'm gonna do what I want
And no one will see me fall
Yeah, you'll never see that!

You want me to act like I'm good
Like I'm good thanks to you
Like you're the only one I need...

Lock the door and watch me cry
You could even watch me die
I can't take this poison inside me
As the walls are coming down
I keep staring at the ground
I'm cold as, cold as ice
