Colder

Charon's song 'Colder' delves into the themes of disillusionment, justice, and the emotional toll of fighting for what is right. The lyrics paint a picture of a protagonist who has been left with nothing but the cold, a metaphor for the harsh realities and emotional numbness that come with their struggles. The opening lines, 'Come along with the whispering cold and fall / They left you nothing more to seek from here,' suggest a sense of abandonment and the end of a journey, where the protagonist is left to face the consequences alone.

The recurring theme of obedience and rebellion is central to the song. Lines like 'They have learned to obey / Broken the rules I followed, burning for name so hollow' reflect a conflict between following societal rules and the desire to break free from hollow conventions. The protagonist grapples with the idea of obedience, questioning whether it is worth the emotional cost. This internal struggle is further emphasized by the line 'I will learn to obey,' indicating a reluctant acceptance of the status quo.

The chorus, 'Still remains the everlasting hope for a bitter war / If it has made you colder turning your life for justice,' encapsulates the song's core message. It speaks to the enduring hope for justice, even if the pursuit of it has left the protagonist emotionally colder. The 'bitter war' symbolizes the ongoing struggle for justice and the personal sacrifices made along the way. The song's melancholic tone and introspective lyrics invite listeners to reflect on their own battles and the emotional toll they take, making 'Colder' a poignant exploration of the human condition.
