The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Frozen" by the artist "Within Temptation"

The song Frozen by Within Temptation describes the emotional pain and sacrifice of the lyrical heroine in a relationship that seems to be falling apart.

The heroine feels numb, "frozen" ("I feel nothing, but the cold"). The world has lost its colors, and her soul has become unreachable, probably due to pain and disappointment. She would be ready to stop her "run," perhaps a metaphor for attempts to save the relationship, if she saw any chance.

However, something forces her to sacrifice everything ("the need... tears me apart") and let go of her lover. Perhaps this is some secret or act that she cannot tell about ("I can't tell you the reasons why"). She blames her partner for what happened ("It happened because of you").

The phrase "When lies become the truth" may indicate that lies have become an integral part of their relationship, destroying trust. The heroine sacrifices herself ("I sacrifice myself for you"), although it hurts her. She knows that her lover will not forgive her but believes that he will be fine.

She repeats again and again: "You say I'm cold, but what am I to do?", showing that her emotional detachment is a defensive reaction to pain and betrayal. She cannot be different in this situation.

The final lines emphasize the inevitability of the end. Everything passes, leaving only fragments of memories. Only time will tell if their path was in vain.
