about

Nostalgia is such an intoxicating time-traveling drug.

Cold Magic gently reflects the feelings of wanting to relive the past while simultaneously dreading the possibility of ever going back. The lyrics relate of craving something so deeply but knowing it would be detrimental to you.

“Why do I miss a mistake?”

Cold Magic also touches on how one loses clarity over time. Memories become jumbled and the past blurs into dreams. You close your eyes and within that quiet moment materializes your sparkly remembrance projected onto the walls of your imagination.

“My memories live under waves in an ocean full of currents, full of moments, drowned by age.”

Confused and unsettled, but ultimately in love with the moment regardless of its flaws you beg to keep indulging without punishment.

“Show me the trick but don’t leave me with the wonder.”

Cold Magic is a heartfelt reflection of getting older and missing your youth, your past, yourself. You want it all but are always being forced to choose and then you must live with the consequences.

Pretty damn unfair if you ask me.

lyrics

Why do I miss a mistake?
Like a love-sick heartstring caught on the wrong vein.
Why do I breathe in the air?
While it's smoking from the amber-colored window we once shared.
It's a Cold Magic.
Show me the trick but don't leave me with the wonder.
My memories live under waves.
In an ocean full of currents, full of moments, drowned by age.
It's a Cold Magic.
Show me the trick but don't leave me with the wonder.
Feeling at home among the faceless picture frames.
Knowing the rules and the all the moves but not the game.
It's a Cold Magic.
It's cold and it's hard and I wanna go home...
But I kinda wanna stay.
It's cold and it's hard and I wanna go home...
But I kinda wanna stay.
Feeling at home among the faceless picture frames.
Knowing the rules and the all the moves but not the game.
It's a Cold Magic.
It's cold and it's hard and I wanna go home...
But I kinda wanna stay.
It's cold and it's hard and I wanna go home...
But I kinda wanna stay.
