The meaning of "Cold & Ugly"

I'm ready and willing to take any interpretations on this one.

I think it speaks about the fear that comes as a resultant to "waking up". You see when "asleep" you aren't aware of all the horrible and new things either as a part or a whole. When you "awaken" you now have an awareness of what's around and what's going on. And that can lead to fear. And so, now she has become so fearful that she has developed this wall, this barrier to keep her safe. And she hides it to keep it from getting hit with the shit she is now aware of. And Maynard (I guess) tries to comfort her by telling her that he is scared like her too. An odd way of comforting her and letting her have a chance to relate. I guess being afraid isn't as scary when you have someone there with you.
