Snow Brigade
Mew Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Enable to bring out the something
You want to know beneath the snow
In winter you're an affliction
That repeatedly defeated me

I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade

Bring out the someone
You need to see for jealousy
We all know one day you'll leave behind
Your everything
And feel the spring come

'Cause I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
from my snow brigade

My arms retreat
I wish they were there to hold you

I'll find you somewhere
Show you how much I care
Know that there is no escape
From my snow brigade

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Mew's song Snow Brigade can be interpreted in different ways depending on the listener's perspective. The song speaks of the winter season and how it affects the singer. The opening lines, "Enable to bring out the something you want to know beneath the snow," suggests that the snow may be a metaphor for something hidden or hard to find. This could mean that the singer is looking for something within themselves that they are unable to access because it is covered or hidden by their pain and the coldness of winter.


The second part of the chorus, "Know that there is no escape from my snow brigade," can be interpreted as the singer's determination to find what they are looking for, and that they will not stop until they do. The snow brigade here may refer to the people who will help them in their quest or their inner strength and resilience that enables them to push through the tough times.


The last few lines of the song, "My arms retreat, I wish they were there to hold you," may suggest that the singer is missing someone they care about deeply. The winter may have defeated them, but they are determined to find them and show them how much they care.


Overall, Snow Brigade speaks of resilience, determination, and the search for something meaningful amidst a cold and barren season.
