 Song 216

Hey my fellow music lovers! Welcome back to the blog! Today I will be review Cold by Dark Divine! I quite like this song, and the music video is pretty cool as well! So let's get into it! 

There's a little part of the chorus at the beginning, so I won't write that until it gets to that part. The intro however is this really cool electronic vibe, mixed with traditional instruments as well. The first verse: "My words are contradictory, to everything inside of me. There's nowhere left to hide, when feelings creep into the outside. I never said what you did to me, because weakness is something that I never wanted you to see." That's very relatable, I won't say why. But I know what this feels like. The pre-chorus: "But you'll always be, a piece of my broken mind (that I can't leave behind) It makes me feel numb inside (slipping away this time)" Again, this is just talking about my trauma with my ex lol. But seriously, that's what it felt like for a long time. I love how they capture that sense, they also have very good songwriting skills in this band. The chorus: "You're so cold, whenever you're next to me. I start to lose hope. So tell me, do you hate me? These haunting memories, they're all that I can see. You love to watch me bleed. So tell me do you hate me? Tell me, do you hate me? Tell me, do you hate me?" It felt like this at times, especially when I felt like my emotions didn't matter. But I really did feel like, my ex never actually cared. Musically, I love how this is set up. The melody is very catchy, and the vocals are really on point. The second verse: "I hope that you are satisfied, by every single tear I cried. I couldn't breathe. And I didn't want to believe, that you would ever want to hurt me. Makes me feel like I'm not worthy, I feel so sick. I just want to finally escape this." I cried so much when I was with my ex, and I was so stressed when I was with them as well. My mental health was awful when I was with them, I just didn't realize it until it was over. They were never good for me, and I lost myself trying to keep them. The more I did things they wanted, the more I lost who I was. And that is something I really regret, but now that I've found myself again. I can breathe, I can feel things and know that it's okay. So in a way, I guess I did finally escape what I was going through. The chorus repeats, then it's the bridge: "You said you'd try to take the best of me, you meant everything you said to me. What's left if I hate the rest of me? You tried to take the best of me, you'll never take the best of me. You'll never take the best of me." No they sure won't, because I'm stronger now. And I know that I deserve better. The chorus then repeats a final time, with no outro. It's a really good song about a toxic relationship, and how they can affect you in so many ways. But it's always important to remember, that you deserve happiness, and real love in your life. Whatever that may look like. 

I hope I have convinced you to listen to Cold, and also check out the music video! Until next time happy listening! :) RAWR <3
