    Lyrics:
    Cold as ice
    And more bitter than a december
    Winter night
    That's how I treated you
    And I know that I
    I sometimes tend to lose my temper
    And I cross the line
    Yeah that's the truth
    I know it gets hard sometimes
    But I could never
    Leave your side
    No matter what I say
    Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now,
    But I really need you near me to
    Keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave I would have left by now
    But you're the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself

      Yeah, he is so deep in his songs, that´s incredible, he is able to convey such deep information through his songs to people. I don´t believe he is here only to be and simply artist... Me too in 2023 here, his music brand new for me this year, I only knew during all the years he is with Queen. So quite though catching up all the years about him :)

    This is Adam's best video. He was trying to destroy the good and docile side of himself while still trying to hold on to the dark and rebellious side. The dark side seemed stronger and reckless while the light and obedient side seemed weaker, but Adam saved both sides because...well...never mind. This song is about Adam's inner struggle.

      He saved both sides because that makes him Adam. A real person is aware of his own dark side, and when you learn to accept it, is when you're the happiest. This video, to me, is about embracing both of your sides; the dark and the light. The lyrics match, too. :)

      If you only know - understand and search - then you`ll see also - how many are transgenders in this world. The number of biological males and females went down quickly. And that not only in one country nor in one century - but many years and all around the world. The only thing that changed: it became public and now it`s "cool" just because it is presented so.

    In this MV Adam is showing us that he has two sides:
    The edgy side
    And the soft side
    (I'll just call them E and S)
    They kinda hate each other but also can't live without each other.
    At 1:57 E looks like he's cold and crushed what I think was a heart.
    He thinks that he doesn't need love and that it just hurts him.
    E slowly starts freaking out while S is just chilling as usual.
    At 2:27 S wants to play chess with E,
    He wants to get closer to him, wants E to 'love' him
    But E is just avoiding him.
    At 2:33 you see E trying to burn down his room. He wants to kill S.
    They're connected in some way, because when E is burning down his room the one who almost dies (lack of oxygen) is S.
    At 2:51 E looks in the mirror and sees the monster he has become.
    So at the end E breaks the wall between the two and saves S.
    It shows that you need both to live.
    Adam has got two different eye colours at the end, wich means that they are both "working" inside him.
    Kinda like this "Left and Right brain" thing.
    We all don't have just one side.
    However, these are just my guesses and theories... correct me if I missed something.
    And sorry for bad grammar
    Le me is German
    (Edit) Thank you all for your nice words!!
    It really means a lot to me ♡♡

    Lyrics:
    Cold as ice
    And more bitter than a December
    Winter night
    That's how I treated you
    And I know that I
    I sometimes tend to loose my temper
    And I cross the line
    Yeah that's the truth
    I know it gets hard sometimes
    But I could never
    Leave your side
    No matter what I say
    'Cause if I wanted to go
    I would've gone by now but
    I really need you near me
    To keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave
    I would've left by now
    But you're the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    All along
    I tried to pretend it didn't matter
    If I was alone
    Deep down I know
    If you were gone
    For even a day I wouldn't know which way to turn
    'Cause I'm lost without you
    I know it gets hard sometimes
    But I could never
    Leave your side
    No matter what I say
    'Cause if I wanted to go
    I would've gone by now
    But I really need you near me
    To keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave
    I would've left by now
    But you're the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    I get kind of dark
    Let it go to far
    I can be obnoxious at times
    But try and see my heart
    'Cause I need you now
    So don't let me down
    You are the only thing in this world
    I would die without
    'Cause if I wanted to go
    I would've gone by now but
    I really need you near me
    To keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave
    I would've left by now
    But you're the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    'Cause if I wanted to go
    I would've gone by now but
    I really need you near me
    To keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave
    I would've left by now
    But you're the only one that knows me
    Better than I know my self

    Adam is totally different from all nowadays singers,he sings very profound,deeply and from bottom of his heart,his songs are soulfull,he does not sing for fame nor money,he sings because he appreciates people who will listen to him,he truely appreciates singing and he is truely a good singer

    This video holds tons of hidden meanings. On one side, Adam is an unforgiving, malicious, violent person and on the other he his balancing himself, so that he won't be on the edge. Throughout the song though, his darker side is slowing stripping away his insanity, making it harder for him to keep a grip on his fears. He slowly starts to hyperventilate and lose air, while his former self is pushing the walls of the glass that bind them, to save his other half. Last, after success, he walks out of the building with a pair of eyes that are completely different. One blue, One brown. This shows that he has chosen to equally balance both of the two parts that he truly is.

    A few years ago, I was in an extremely dark place, full of self destructive behavior and alienating everyone because of the rejection of someone I loved and I let myself spiral. I would listen to this song and cry, but it was the realization that the person he was talking about was himself. The balance of both the pain and darkness and the light, and the will to do better and be good. We need both to be real. This song, this music video, was such a huge pivotal moment in my life.

    This song is way ahead of its time in how it portrays knowing oneself and being there for themselves.. its more important these days where youngsters have begun to identify distress and mental problems and one important thing to remember is to be there for yourself..
    I've been listening to it for several years on many stressful occasions and it has made me feel stronger and be there for me first, rather than for others..
    Wish this song reaches more listeners for all that it entails!! ❤

    This video now makes sense more than it did years ago when I first heard it when released. I’m diagnosed with major depression and anxiety, meds and therapy help. But this video explains mental health. One side is the one that has no care in the world, will be destructive and all over the place, while the other side is trying to keep calm and sane. The dark side is wanting the other to join, to fully emerge and be the same, while the light side is saying no and trying to help the dark side. Both sides fighting each other. The dark side is spiraling and needs the light to keep it from going off the edge. When the light loses oxygen, it’s like a panic attack, you struggle to breathe, but the dark helps them breathe, as in you let yourself feel and let it out before it completely crumbles you and takes over. At the end of the video, they’re both balance, two eye colors, they balance each other and are controlled.

    • @adrianaavila8853
      @adrianaavila8853 Před 3 lety +9

    One thing I love about Adam’s music videos is he always puts in so much emotion into the singing, like I know it’s lip syncing for the video, but he *looks* like he’s singing it all live with all the emoting. I don’t like when artists are lip syncing in their music videos and barely opening their mouths or moving their faces like, there’s no way you can get a high note out while looking like 😐, meanwhile Adam just goes for it and I love that

      Having two different eye colours is caused by a mutation, remember the next time when you'll see people with different eye colours, 3 arms, 6 fingers on each hand or other mutations, that human kind like we are is starting to die and they are the "symbols" for the fact that the next generation of human kind is coming, we won't see that, our children won't see that, their children also won't see that, but in 500 years maybe, their will be a different kind of human race, maybe they will be giant like creatures or the opposite, maybe they will have a different face structure or 3 eyes, maybe they will be able to fly or to swim on the bottom of our oceans, maybe maybe maybe, next generation of Evolution is coming and we can't stop it also we won't why should we do this? It will be fantastic hehaheha

    Cold as ice

    Winter night
    That's how I treated you
    And I know that I
    I sometimes tend to lose my temper
    And I cross the line
    Yeah that's the truth
    I know it gets hard sometimes
    But I could never
    Leave your side
    No matter what I say
    Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now, But
    I really need you near me to
    Keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave I would have left by now But you're
    the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    All along
    I tried to pretend it didn't matter
    If I was alone
    But deep down I know
    If you were gone
    For even a day I wouldn't know which
    way to turn
    Cause I'm lost without you
    I know it gets hard sometimes
    But I could never
    Leave your side
    No matter what I say
    Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now, But
    I really need you near me to
    Keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave I would have left by now But you're
    the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    I get kind of dark
    Let it go too far
    I can be obnoxious at times
    But try and see my heart
    Cause I need you now
    So don't let me down
    You're the only thing in this world
    I would die without
    Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now, But
    I really need you near me to
    Keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave I would have left by now But you're
    the only one that knows me
    Better than I know myself
    Cause if I wanted to go I would have gone by now, But
    I really need you near me to
    Keep my mind off the edge
    If I wanted to leave I would have left by now But you're

    Oh man.... it's 2022 and mentally I'm still stuck in 2012. I don't remember when was it. But this kind of songs are my anthems. And i love just how angsty it feels like I'm literally in the video when i listen to it. I miss those good old days so much. 😪

    It was over three years ago that I found this. The song itself has always been one I can listen to, and it'll make me feel better no matter what. The video makes me calm, not sure why. But, it's something I can always turn to even after all this time and I'm grateful.

    This is still one of my favourite songs ever. This video has stuck with me all these years and I’m happy to still be watching and jamming out in 2022.
