Discover the story of the song > Cold Fame – Band of Skulls

The lyrics are about a person who questions the meaning of fame and what they really have to gain from it. The protagonist seems to feel lost and uncertain, drinking to ease the pain of waking up alone. Despite their feelings of indebtedness, they still don't feel understood or recognized in the public eye. However, they seem to accept their "cold fame" as the best option for them.
