The Coldest Heart

Any song about love, whether it's presented in a postive or negative light, can be about a relationship between two people or between a person and God...read the Bible and you'll know that. That being said though, not every song about love from a Christian is necessarily about God. This one, however, presents a lot of evidence that says to me that this song is about someone's relationship with God.

"My halo is broken now and I'm all that's left" Who traditionally has halos? Angels. How do we know about angels? Through the Bible.

"I was bound to the things I did" The Bible speaks a lot about being "bound" to secular things. Staying bound to the secular instead of leaving it behind for the spiritual is one way to stop being an angel and "break the halo."

"Could you fill this hole? / Cause I can't do it alone" The preceding lyrics definitely convey a sense of being empty. An angel losing his halo -- as evidenced by breaking it -- would definitely feel empty after giving up the spiritual things that once filled him. Who better to fill a spiritual void in an angel than God?

"My heart's on the thrashing floor / And I've done every single thing I could" Actually, the lyrics are wrong here...it's "threshing," not thrashing. A threshing floor is a tool utilized by farmers to separate wheat grain from the stuff around it (chaff), so that the wheat could be utilized and the other stuff could be thrown out. Biblically speaking, Jesus used the threshing floor as a symbol of judgement for mankind, separating those who are saved from those who are not saved (see Matthew 3:12). The lyrics here mean that the singer has done everything he could, but he knows that he will be judged for everything he's done.

This song, "The Coldest Heart," talks about someone who, in the sight of God, has fallen a long way from the things of God and recognizes just how cold and lonely life is apart from God. The singer recognizes now that he needs God back in his life if things are ever to be what they used to be.

Whether you believe that this is a song about one's relationship with God doesn't change the fact that this is a phenomenal song. I'm looking forward to hearing more from Classic Crime.

One of my favorite songs ever! I think it basically tells of [whoever " I " is] finally seeing how he screwed up his life, and he's facing the consequences, and in the chorus he cries out to God. The last part had my confused for a while---"The coldest heart can be brought to life when its thrown into the fire of goodbyes"----I think it means anyone can be stubborn and lofty but when things go wrong--"goodbyes"--it can humble anyone.

this song freakin rocks man!!!

My interrpretation of "the coldest heart can be brought to life, when its thrown into the fire of goodbyes." was that God could take the coldest weakest most broken up, mest up life and reform it, re-cast it into something beautiful and whole by saying "goodbye" to all the flaws and sins of life....

this is an awesome song...i think it means something in the lines of a broken love...he had a relationship with someone but due to some reason "I hate to disappoint but it's the way things went/I was bound to the things I did" it ended. "I've got the solution/You can feed me to something/ That is leaving this doubt" here he is calling out for help, not necessarly from God, he is in the spot everyone is in when about to dump or when having to end a relationship;" is this the right thing to do? will i be happier?"the chorus is the part where the pain and agony is described and the need for help is called out, someone to help him heal the broken haert or the "hole in my heart". in the bridge he is saying that the (past) relationship isn't bringing him joy or the bliss he needs and describes his heart as the coldest heart, but if they part it can be "brought to life". "A couple of tears and I'm a broken mess/The sadness has taken me far too deep in regret/So sing me a song about something good" here he just wants to move on, "forget" the pain . This song, i think, is about when's the right time to move on, when , in a relationship, everything is frozen and only the fire of goodbye's can bring both back to life. "The coldest heart can be brought to life When it's thrown into the fire of goodbyes"
