Cold
Crossfade · Crossfade
That I never really got it right
I never stopped to think of you
I'm always wrapped up in
Things I cannot win
You are the antidote that gets me by
Something strong
Like a drug that gets me high
[Chorus x2:]
What I really meant to say
Is I'm sorry for the way I am
I never meant to be so cold
To you I'm sorry about all the lies
Maybe in a different light
You could see me stand on my own again
Cause now i can see
You were the antidote that got me by
Something strong like a drug that got me high
[Chorus x2]
I never meant to be so cold
I never really wanted you to see
The screwed up side of me that I keep
Locked inside of me so deep
It always seems to get to me
I never really wanted you to go
So many things you should have known
I guess for me theres just no hope
I never meant to be so cold
[Chorus x2]
Cold
Crossfade's 'Cold' stands as a defining track from their 2012 debut album of the same name, released under the Electronic New Generation label. The song exemplifies the band's signature blend of post-punk energy and electronic textures, characterized by driving basslines and atmospheric synths that created a distinctive sound in the early 2010s indie scene. As a key component of their discography, the recording captures the raw, urgent aesthetic that propelled Crossfade to critical acclaim and established them as a significant force in the genre. Its impact resonates through their broader catalogue, reflecting a period where the group successfully merged melodic sensibilities with a darker, more experimental approach to songwriting.
