Are 'temperature' and 'razor blade' related anyway?

Further text:
Now so long, Marianne, it's time that we began ...
For now I need your hidden love.
I'm cold as a new razor blade.
You left when I told you I was curious,
I never said that I was brave.

As far as I know, metal is considered to be "cold". Put a piece of wood on your skin. Then try with a metallic object: it should feel cooler. Such associations might come up in several contexts, for different reasons. For example, robots are considered to be "cold". It might be because they are made of metal, and also because they are not "alive", have no "blood", have no "warmth" compared to hum

Dear Mr Micawber

I believe you misunderstood me and it seems my posting in someway disturbed you, otherwise you wouldn't have said, 'I leave the rest of your posts to greater minds'.
