Winter
Audio Learning Center Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She sinks her teeth into
Her dead end job
Long since had given up
On Childhood dreams
All the things that she
Could have become
Underneath her breath
She says
I hope I can make it
Through winter
Winter
And she tries
To pretend
To believe
That she can
He barely gets out these days
His body ruined by a dead end job
Let go after forty years
He was replaced
When younger faster
Workers came along
Now sitting in his room
With the shades pulled shut
He barely realizes that it's winter
A winner
And he tries
To pretend
To believe
That his life
Turned out good
Trying to
Pretend they took the
Right road the path to
Doors shut along
And failures that
Have taken too long
The song Winter by Audio Learning Center is a powerful commentary on the struggle of everyday people who feel trapped in their seemingly pointless, mundane lives. The first verse talks about a woman who spends her days in a dead-end job, having long given up on the dreams she had as a child. She mutters to herself, hoping that she can make it through the harsh winter. The second verse talks about a man who has been let go after forty years of working a dead-end job. He now sits in his room, barely aware of the passing of winter.
The song's central message is about the struggle of people to find meaning in their lives. The woman in the song is trapped in a life that is going nowhere, while the man has lost his identity after losing his job. Both of them are trying to pretend that everything is okay, to believe that their lives turned out the way they wanted them to. But deep down, they know that they are trapped, and that their dreams have been pushed aside.
The lyrics' straightforwardness and the band's raw, emotional sound make for a powerful combination. Through their music, Audio Learning Center manages to convey the frustration of those who feel trapped by their circumstances. Anyone who has ever felt like they are stuck in a dead-end job or have lost their way in life can relate to the song's message.

She wastes her days away
She spends her time doing unproductive things
She sinks her teeth into
She puts a lot of effort into
Her dead end job
Her meaningless and unfulfilling occupation
Long since had given up
She gave up a long time ago
On Childhood dreams
On the aspirations she had as a child
All the things that she
All of the things that were possible for her to achieve
Muttering to herself
Speaking quietly to herself
Underneath her breath
In a quiet, under-the-breath manner
She says
Expresses
I hope I can make it
I hope I can survive
Through winter
Through this difficult period
And she tries
She attempts
To pretend
To act as if
To believe
To convince herself
That she can
That she is capable
He barely gets out these days
He rarely leaves his house now
His body ruined by a dead end job
His physical well-being has been damaged by a meaningless occupation
Let go after forty years
He lost his job after working for forty years
He was replaced
Someone else was hired in his place
When younger faster
When younger, more efficient
Workers came along
Newer and more productive employees started working
Now sitting in his room
Currently stationed in his living space
With the shades pulled shut
With the curtains closed
He barely realizes that it's winter
He is not fully aware that the season has changed
A winner
A successful person
And he tries
He attempts
To pretend
To act as if
To believe
To convince himself
That his life
That his existence
Turned out good
Was ultimately successful
Trying to
Attempt to
Pretend they took the
To act as if they made
Right road the path to
The correct way, the trail to
Doors shut along
Obstacles closing off future opportunities
And failures that
Mistakes that
Have taken too long
Have negatively impacted them for an extended period of time
