IJskoud Lyrics in English Nielson

IJskoud (Dutch for “ice-cold”) is Nielson’s emotional snapshot of a breakup that hits like a blast of winter air. The singer suddenly hears the chilling words “ik hou niet langer van jou” (“I don’t love you anymore”), and everything freezes. He shivers, his thoughts echo, and he begs for just a second to rewind time. The song captures the shock of being left behind, when a once-passionate love turns stone-cold without warning.

Underneath its catchy beat, the lyrics are a conversation that never quite happens. Nielson pleads, “Why would you do that?” while feeling as if he’s “talking to a wall.” He can’t understand why their shared story is crossed out in one stroke, why the promises of “going through fire for each other” have melted away. The repeated cry of “het is ijskoud” mirrors the emotional frostbite of betrayal, making the track a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever been left standing in the cold.
