Tadas Juodsnukis speaks of painful experience: 'You can't erase that by force'

Lithuanian artist Tadas Juodsnukis has unveiled his latest musical offering, a song titled "Cold Lips," which delves into the poignant theme of heartbreak and the lingering emotions of a love that has ended. Juodsnukis describes the song as being about "intoxicating love, when you fall so hard that it even hurts. And then that love ends for one of you. For example, you still love, but you feel that you are no longer loved. Or vice versa. The symbol of that past love is 'cold lips,' which no longer respond to a kiss. That feeling when it still hurts, but you have to let go."

The song is about intoxicating love, when you fall so hard that it even hurts. And then that love ends for one of you. For example, you still love, but you feel that you are no longer loved. Or vice versa. The symbol of that past love is 'cold lips,' which no longer respond to a kiss. That feeling when it still hurts, but you have to let go.

The artist believes that everyone carries the memory of at least one painful breakup, recalling that decisive final kiss to "cold lips." He explained that he often writes songs based on his own life experiences or, when those run dry, draws inspiration from the stories of his friends. The profound emotion of difficult separations, he suggests, remains buried deep within many individuals.

Juodsnukis noted that people often try to pretend they have forgotten past hurts, deceiving both others and themselves. He asserts that deep emotional wounds are never truly forgotten. While the intensity of the pain may subside over time, the memory itself cannot be forcibly erased. He added that there will certainly be moments when the song's lyric, "I dance with your shadow," rings true, illustrating the persistent presence of past relationships in one's life.

“

I write songs from my experience or, when I lack it, I rely on my friends' stories. The emotion of painful breakups remains somewhere deep inside many of us. We often tend to pretend that we have completely forgotten if we were hurt. We deceive not only others but ourselves too. If someone has truly deeply wounded us, we will always remember.

The song "Cold Lips" serves as a relatable anthem for anyone who has experienced the ache of lost love. Juodsnukis's candid approach to songwriting, drawing from authentic emotional experiences, allows listeners to connect with the universal themes of love, loss, and remembrance. The track captures the bittersweet essence of moving on while acknowledging the indelible marks left by significant past relationships.

After some time, it will no longer cause great emotions, but you cannot erase it from memory by force. And there will certainly be moments when the song's words 'I dance with your shadow' will be true.
