When we are cold

Sometimes when I'm cold
I am the earth
I hear it speaks
In my feet

And when I'm cold
I'm the world
It murmurs in my heartbeat

CHORUS:
Sometimes I fell everything goes up in flames
And I am the fire, And I am myself
Sometimes they scatter ashes
And I am the dust, and I am the wind

And when I'm cold, I close my eyes
I don't hear anything, I don't feel anything
And when you're cold, you smile wide
I don't feel anything
"You won't feel anything"

2:
Flesh and bones
Blood and bruises
How you put your lips on some-
Thing so shameful ?

And the singing of my voice,
Did sound gruesome
But did you think of an opera
Hearing me so loud ?

CHORUS:
Sometimes I fell everything goes up in flames
And I am the fire, And I am myself
Sometimes they scatter ashes
And I am the dust, and I am the wind

And when I'm cold, I close my eyes
I don't hear anything, I don't feel anything
And when you're cold, you smile wide
I don't feel anything
"You won't feel anything"

Outro:
And I've watched the stars,
Hoping for somewhere far away,
And I watched the sky,
Looking for my place,
Not this sad body of flesh
...
And I watched the stars,
Looking for my favorite one
You'll say, I'm yours,
Over your shoulder,
I couldn't see mine.

This is a song starting off calmly and becoming more "powerful" during the chorus (almost screaming)
It is a song about SA, even rape :
"When we are cold" is the moment of the agression, where the aggressor is "smiling wide" and the victim is trying to see and think of something else, they are the world, they are fire, dust, wind. They don't want to be here, feeling like their body is even shameful because of the agressions.
In the end, they are trying to escape, looking at the stars, the aggressor said that they are their favorite star but also meaning they can't escape, even blocking they way the see the sky (in a more literal way, like into of their victim)
It's about repeated agressions, from a loved one, or a least a trusted person
