Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its dark in the afternoon
Lights on in every room
Winter came round so soon

And over night,
The lake turns to ice,
And your left behind
I solemnly made you mine
I'm sorry I made you mine

The lines "Winter came round so soon" and "And overnight, the lake turns to ice" portray how quickly life can change and how unpredictable death can be.


The chorus of the song, with Kate Rogers' haunting vocals, adds to the overall emotional impact of the song. The lines "And I knew it all along, this was a risk I shouldn't take" and "I'm sorry I made you mine" suggest that the singer blames themselves for what happened to the girl who fell through the ice.
