Cool Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In the first verse, the singer expresses that she’s not hurt by the other person’s actions, even though she’s calling out their lies. She feels entitled to act disinterested after being let down in the relationship. While the other person is comfortably lounging with a glass of wine, she reflects on how their connection has changed over time. Despite the emotional turmoil, she’s grateful for the perspective time has given her, realizing that she can let go and move on from the past.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the singer embraces her new attitude of being “cool,” which feels liberating. She highlights the empty promises made by the other person, particularly the promise to stay in touch. There’s a realization that she might have been naive in believing them, and she suspects that the person has been saying similar things to others. This moment reflects her growth and recognition of her worth.

[Post-Chorus]
Here, the singer urges the other person to calm down and acknowledges the emotional strain she felt when their relationship was at its peak. She describes feeling overwhelmed, almost dizzy, by the emotional chaos that unfolded. The repetition of “breathe” emphasizes her need to regain control and find her footing after the intense feelings.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the singer contrasts her genuine emotions with the other person’s fake persona. She sees through their attempts to act sad about the breakup, knowing they’re not being sincere. She mentions the friends who were let down as well, pointing out that this person’s behavior isn’t new. Their actions have hurt others, and she realizes that they underestimated her ability to see through the façade. The verse underscores her awareness of their deceit and her frustration with their manipulation.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats the theme of newfound confidence, emphasizing her choice to be “cool” as a way of coping. She notes that the other person might have been creating an illusion of their relationship only to discard it. She calls out their pattern of behavior, suggesting they’ve been unfaithful to her and probably doing the same with someone else. It’s a reclaiming of her identity after being misled.

[Post-Chorus]
In this post-chorus, the singer repeats the call to calmness, reflecting her inner turmoil and the emotional rollercoaster of the relationship. The imagery of spinning captures her feeling of losing control, highlighting how disorienting it was to deal with the emotional fallout. It conveys a sense of urgency to find clarity and stability amidst the chaos.

[Bridge]
During the bridge, the singer reassures herself that she will be okay despite the pain she’s experienced. She plans to focus on the positives and the silver linings rather than dwell on the negative feelings. There’s a sense of acceptance as she acknowledges that a part of her still thinks about the other person, but she’s determined to move on and not let them occupy her mind anymore. It’s a moment of self-empowerment and closure.

[Chorus]
In this final chorus, the singer reiterates her coolness, reinforcing her strength and independence. She reflects on how the relationship was built on falsehoods, feeling foolish for believing in its authenticity. The mention of the other person’s potential romantic connections with others highlights their pattern of insincerity. It serves as a final statement of her resolve to let go of the past and embrace her new self.

[Post-Chorus]
The closing post-chorus mirrors earlier sentiments of urging calmness, emphasizing the emotional impact of the relationship. The spinning imagery returns, illustrating how deeply affected she was by the emotional games. It leaves off on a note of struggle, but also on her journey towards healing and regaining her strength.
