From the recording Forbidden Songs
Colder Than You
Some distances cannot be measured. Some silences never end.
Colder Than You explores the emotional space between memory and detachment, where familiar faces become strangers and every attempt to reconnect only deepens the silence. Driven by hypnotic bass lines, restrained guitars and a slow-burning atmosphere, the song unfolds through repetition and subtle tension rather than dramatic release.
The lyrics never reveal whether the cold belongs to another person, to the narrator, or simply to the passing of time. Instead, they leave fragments : moments of absence, quiet resignation and emotional distance for the listener to assemble into their own story.
Minimal yet immersive, Colder Than You embodies the spirit of Forbidden Songs: intimate, unresolved and quietly unsettling, where what remains unsaid often carries more weight than the words themselves.
Lyrics
You speak into the half-light
As if the room still understands
I watch the dust move slowly
Between your hands
The evening settles awkwardly
Against the windowpane
Somewhere inside the silence
Something changes shape
I'm colder than you
Colder than the air
That gathers in the corners
When nobody moves
I'm colder than you
Colder than the words
We leave unfinished
Hanging in the room
The conversation drifts apart
Like paper caught in rain
One thought replaces another
Neither one remains
Outside the city carries on
Without a second glance
Inside we sit surrounded
By familiar distances
I'm colder than you
Colder than the air
That gathers in the corners
When nobody moves
I'm colder than you
Colder than the words
We leave unfinished
Hanging in the room
You stop speaking for a moment
The room becomes aware
Of every small mechanical sound
Hidden in the air
A chair settles
The pipes complain
A car moves through the rain
And neither one of us
Has anything to add
I'm colder than you
Colder than the air
That gathers in the corners
When nobody moves
I'm colder than you
Colder than the words
We leave unfinished
Hanging in the room
The light grows thinner
Hour by hour
The silence stays
The night goes on
