Snow
Angus & Julia Stone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Running from the start and here we are again
Running from the start and here we go again
Smile in the smoke and find something to say
Smile in the smoke and find something to say
Who the hell are we to start this chain again?
Who the hell are you to break this chain again?
Trying to imagine giving it away
Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay?

Any chance that I could have something to drink?
Any chance that I could have something to drink?
Walking around here looking for something
I can get fucked up on absolutely anything
I'd sweep you off your feet when you will fall apart
I'd sweep you off the floor oh god you're drunk again
Find it in the light of somebody else's heart

Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay?
Why don't you stay?

Looking at the stars, I have you to myself
Looking at the stars, I have you to myself
Standing here with you and thinking of someone else
Standing here with you and thinking of someone else
Blanket on my back, I'm cold, I'm cold again
Tryna see your eyes, oh, make me warm again
Smile in the snow and tryna find something to say

Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)




Why don't you stay? (La la la la la, la la la la la, la la la la la)
Why don't you stay?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Angus & Julia Stone's "Snow" are imbued with a sense of restlessness and dissatisfaction with the cyclical nature of life. The repetition of "Running from the start and here we go again" and "Smile in the smoke and find something to say" highlights the weariness of the singer, who seems to be trapped in a perpetual loop of the same experiences without any sense of growth or progress. The line "Who the hell are we to start this chain again?/ Who the hell are you to break this chain again?" suggests that the singer is aware of this pattern but feels powerless to change it.


The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "Why don't you stay?" expresses a desire for connection and intimacy, a yearning to break free from the cycle and find something more meaningful. The line "Find it in the light of somebody else's heart" implies that the singer is searching for a sense of purpose or direction outside of themselves, and that they believe that love or companionship might be the key to breaking the cycle and finding meaning.


The final verse, with its images of standing in the snow and thinking of someone else, highlights the singer's isolation and the sense of disconnection from others that they feel. The line "Blanket on my back, I'm cold, I'm cold again" suggests that the singer is struggling to find warmth or comfort in the world, and that they are searching for something or someone to help them find it.


Overall, "Snow" is a haunting and evocative song that captures the sense of malaise and restlessness that can come with feeling stuck in a cycle of repetition and routine.

One of life's greatest mysteries is why you guys aren't big all over the world... seriously, i've been following your music since about the time you started and it just keeps getting better.

@Rohost248

I think it's beautiful that they're kind of underground. I think it's makes them even more special, like they're this secret wonderful thing in the world most people seem to miss. I hope they don't become big and succumb to the popular music world.

@ichwilldasvideo3

Amrik Daryanani haha you guys are funny. they are famous as shit lol you made me laugh

@@ichwilldasvideo3 lol 4 friends of mine never heard of them.

@veronicathuon6056

and i have only 5 friends on this planet

@klubkid46

can you handle the truth? The reason is because they are a wonderful white hetrosexual couple that love each other and give people hope. They might inspire people to get married,have children,and love one another. It is the exact opposite message of the de-population satanic elite cabal of psychopaths that rule over us.
