Winter White
A Fine Frenzy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The smoke of memories in my eyes
The room is sleeting kind
It comes in winter white
In holiday disguise
To sabotage my mind

Dismiss the urge to reminisce
To miss your stupid kiss
The shot at happiness
It never did exist
And I don't care if it did

'Cause I won't cry
And there's no turning back
Merry Christmas
Happy goddamn new year

I see you everywhere
I see you everywhere I breathe
You are the devil king
The hell of my dreams
You're poisoning my sleep

And I won't cry
There's no turning back
But it makes me sad

And this year it's going to be
Just like you never knew me
Peace and quiet
Happy home
How I love to be alone




Merry Christmas
Happy goddamn new year

It's not that they have equal talent, it's that something reminded me of her. I was a huge Swiftie for a long time, and I think that she is very talented. Ali is EXTREMELY talented, and beautiful, and I think that she carries more emotion in her songs. It was not a comparison of talent. It was the pronunciation of the words that reminded me of Swift's pronunciation.

Sam Valladares

This song is just too perfect.

This Is Unfair

@dannyyspencerr If you haven't already figured this out, this is kind of an angry, sad Christmas album. Notice how it's based on the sad song "Blue Christmas"? She's just expressing her emotions in her music like all good artists do.

Julie Chen

Does anyone have the instrumental version of this song? Thanks so much!

DontTazeMeDudes

Alison has more talent in her pinkie nail than Swift has in her entire being. Which is sad considering who the "superstar" is.

Cam McKay

Okay about her saying a bad word in a christmas song... I think it fits with what shes saying. I dont mind when its in a song that actually means something. If you dont want to listen to a song that says that around christmas then you dont have to but to me this song and the whole ep is perfection and one little cuse word doesnt taint it at all for me.

Lauren Payne

I want a parody of this song called Walter White "The smoke of meth in my eyes, the real misleading kind, it's made by Walter White" just something like that someone please do this for me
