The song Cold Snap by Harvey Danger is about a man who used to be a flirty and playful person, but is now changing his ways. He used to try to put the woman he was interested in on a pedestal so he could look up her skirt. However, he is changing and the woman is no longer interested in being anyone's girlfriend. She prefers to keep her desires hidden. The man captured the woman's imagination and she thought she felt her will break, but it was really just the result of the weather changing. The lyrics describe a desire to be lazy with language, comfortable with nudity, and to speak their minds honestly. The woman is still not interested in being anyone's girlfriend, but the man doesn't mind. Their dormant desires are better kept secret. The overall meaning of the song is that people change and relationships change, but it's okay to keep your desires hidden if that's what feels right. The story seems to revolve around a moment of realization between two people who are not meant to be together, and the acceptance that comes with that realization.
