sweet--with positive or negative connotations? do you mean "sweet" literally, or in a way where, like, luscious or delectable or something would work? Try thinking of things that are sweet that have similar connotations as how you're using it as an adjective--particular fruits or something. Not candy cuz: played. Or sugar or honry. Maybe you could talk abt agave j/k.
I want to share the synonyms for cold from thesaurus.com:
What is your "inside" beef about agave? I am from the land where agave is cheap and plentiful, and when someone says "sweet" I think of agave nectar. Which reminds me, you could just say nectar. Saccharine if it's sweet in a bad way. When you put so much sweetener in something, you can't taste any other flavors.
I think it would be easier to help if the context were known. Like do you just want words, or are hifalutin phrases, stories, and metaphors OK? Could you talk about it being so cold that when you're facing a fire, your back is freezing, and when you turn your back onto the fire your front starts to freeze? Being from Southern California and now the bona fide desert, I can't identify with this condition, but someone from a place where it regularly snows was telling me of this phenomenon the other day, and I found it to be rather poetic.
My comment about the inappropriateness of agave was just that, in an area where it is neither cheap nor plentiful, it seems like using it in a song would be asking to sound like a food co-op jingle. Context is everything.
