So Cold lyrics by Breaking Benjamin

I guess it's because I've just read a lot of novels from the twilight saga this past couple of days, but for some reason when I heard the song again it reminded me of ... err, silly as that sounds, romance between a human and a vampire! You know, lyrics like 'defenseless inside' and 'dried' made me think that, despite the vampire's massive physical strength, he/she is still defenseless inside -- has a vulnerable mind. And the 'so cold' bit could be the cold skin of vampires, something that doesn't scare the singer, because he keeps telling the vampire to touch him again and again ... and, um, crowded streets would definitely run if a vampire walked into their midst -- even the ones that bragged about being able to defeat anything (hollow heroes) would run ... but that is, of course, a very silly meaning! I just had to post it. *lol*

The other explanation seemed better!

for me its about a relationship where one "freezing up" and becoming an emotional brick wall, no emotion in or out. and the other sits and watches but is powerless to help or fix it

uhhh wow gtfoxsnake...thats uhh kinda harsh but i think ppl take death kinda serious...plz dont take me seriously...^_^

I think this song is about how death (and other unfortunate things) catch people by surprise and how it affects people and their relationships. In the video it looks like a man is being sentenced to death for something, so he carries a big rock and drowns in the swamp. It makes me sad whenever I watch it, but the song is still awesome.
