Song Meaning of “Cold Cold Woman” by Benny Joy
“Cold Cold Woman” by Benny Joy is a song about a lover who has had enough of her partner’s coldness. The narrator paints a vivid picture of this cold woman, describing her as “icy” and “hard as stone,” alluding to her emotional unavailability and lack of feeling for the narrator. Despite the hardships the couple faces, the narrator longs for her partner’s love and is desperate for things to go back to how they used to be. He sings about how her “barren heart” has stolen every ounce of hope for any kind of a future, yet there is still a lingering glimmer of hope- “I’m praying she’ll relent/ That her heart may start to bend.” The narrator is hopeful of some kind of a reconciliation, but he knows it may be too late. The desperate and hopeless tone of the song captures the heartache of wanting someone with whom one cannot connect.
