Cold ft. Future

Trình Bày: Maroon 5

Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don’t know you anymore
I don’t understand why you’re so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there’s something going on
I don’t understand why you’re so cold

[Verse 1: Adam Levine]
Are we taking time or a time out?
I can’t take the in-between
Asking me for space here in my house
You know how to * with me
Acting like we’re not together
After everything that we’ve been through
Sleeping up under the covers
How am I so far away from you?

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Distant, when we’re kissing
Feel so different
Baby, tell me how did you get so

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don’t know you anymore
I don’t understand why you’re so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there’s something going on
I don’t understand why you’re so cold, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Adam Levine]
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
I don’t understand why you’re so cold

[Verse 2: Adam Levine]
What you holdin’ on, holdin’ on for?
If you wanna leave, just leave
Why you wanna bite your tongue for?
The silence is killing me
Acting like we’re not together
If you don’t want this, then what’s the use?
Sleeping up under the covers
How am I so far away from you?

[Pre-Chorus: Adam Levine & John Ryan]
Distant (Oh), when we’re kissing (Yeah)
Feel so different (Yeah)
Baby tell me how did you get so

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don’t know you anymore
I don’t understand why you’re so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there’s something going on
I don’t understand why you’re so cold, yeah

[Post-Chorus: Adam Levine & Future]
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah
I don’t understand why you’re so cold, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
I don’t understand why you’re so cold

[Verse 3: Future & Adam Levine]
Never thought that you were like this
I took the tag off, and made you priceless
I just spent half a mil’ on a chandelier
Now you tryna cut me off like a light switch, yeah
Tryna stay in our league
Saying that you need some time to breathe
Thinking that I’m sleeping on the four-letter word
But the four-letter word don’t sleep
We goin’ two separate ways
You ain’t been actin’ the same
You gotta go, girl, where your heart used to be
You gold-dig every day
I switched the four-door to the two-door
‘Cause I can’t let my driver hear what you say
Girl, I tried to give you space
Baby, tell me how did you get so cold

[Chorus: Adam Levine]
Cold enough to chill my bones
It feels like I don’t know you anymore
I don’t understand why you’re so cold to me
With every breath you breathe
I see there’s something going on
I don’t understand why you’re so cold

[Post-Chorus: Adam Levine & Future]
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
I don’t understand why you’re so cold, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
Whoa, yeah
So tough, it’s a cold world
I don’t understand why you’re so cold

Bài “Cold” – Maroon 5 ft. Future là một ca khúc R&B/Pop pha rap kể về sự xa cách và lạnh lùng trong một mối quan hệ đang rạn nứt.
Mình sẽ phân tích theo chủ đề – cảm xúc – hình ảnh ẩn dụ – nhân vật và diễn biến câu chuyện để bạn dễ nắm.


1. Chủ đề chính

  • Mối quan hệ đang dần nguội lạnh.

  • Sự bối rối và tổn thương khi một người thay đổi thái độ, trở nên xa cách.

  • Câu hỏi “Tại sao em lại lạnh lùng như vậy?” lặp đi lặp lại → nhấn mạnh sự không hiểu và cảm giác bị bỏ rơi.


2. Cảm xúc

  • Adam Levine (người hát chính) thể hiện:

    • Bối rối: Không hiểu lý do đối phương trở nên khác lạ.

    • Tổn thương: Cảm giác khoảng cách ngay cả khi ở cạnh nhau.

    • Mong muốn câu trả lời: Muốn biết nguyên nhân để có thể cứu vãn hoặc chấp nhận.

  • Future (đoạn rap) mang sắc thái:

    • Cay đắng: Cảm giác bị lợi dụng (“you gold-dig every day”).

    • Quyết liệt: Dù từng cố gắng cho không gian, nhưng nhận ra mối quan hệ đã không thể cứu.


3. Hình ảnh và ẩn dụ

  • “Cold enough to chill my bones” → sự lạnh lẽo không chỉ là cảm giác vật lý mà là cảm xúc.

  • “Sleeping up under the covers, how am I so far away from you?” → dù ở cạnh nhau về thể xác nhưng tâm hồn xa cách.

  • “Cut me off like a light switch” → thay đổi cảm xúc đột ngột, không báo trước.

  • “Four-letter word” → ám chỉ “love” nhưng cũng có thể hiểu là một từ chửi thề (ẩn ý về sự căng thẳng).


4. Cấu trúc và diễn biến câu chuyện

  1. Mở đầu → Giới thiệu trạng thái lạnh lùng của đối phương, người kể cảm thấy không còn quen thuộc.

  2. Verse 1 & 2 → Miêu tả hành vi xa cách (im lặng, ngủ chung nhưng không gần gũi, giả vờ không ở bên nhau).

  3. Chorus → Điệp khúc chất chứa sự bối rối và nhấn mạnh cảm giác “không hiểu nổi”.

  4. Verse 3 (Future) → Góc nhìn của người thứ hai trong mối quan hệ, thêm màu sắc rap để diễn tả sự thất vọng và mất niềm tin.

  5. Kết → Lặp lại câu hỏi “why you’re so cold” như một vòng lặp không có lời giải.


5. Ý nghĩa tổng thể

  • Đây là bức tranh về một mối quan hệ đang trên bờ tan vỡ, trong đó một người cố tìm hiểu nguyên nhân nhưng chỉ nhận lại sự im lặng và xa cách.

  • Sự kết hợp giữa giọng falsetto nhẹ nhàng nhưng đau buồn của Adamflow rap mạnh mẽ của Future tạo nên sự tương phản – giống như hai góc nhìn khác nhau về cùng một vấn đề.

  • Ca khúc không đưa ra giải pháp, mà để người nghe cảm nhận nỗi hụt hẫng khi yêu một người đã “nguội lạnh”.
