Winter Song
Avishaï COHEN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking of who she could be
If she was’nt with him
May be she wants to be
With another
May be she wants to be
Or will he learn to see, that she wants to be free
May be she wants to be
Ah Ah …..
She will not ever be
What she had wanted
Even if he will see
She will not be
The lyrics of Avishai Cohen's song "Winter Song" explore the thoughts and feelings of a woman who is in a relationship but is not content. She is looking out of her window, contemplating who she could become if she wasn't with her current partner. The lyrics suggest that she may be considering leaving him for someone else, or simply leaving to be alone.
The woman's internal struggle is captured in the line, "And will she ever know what her feelings are for him, or will he learn to see, that she wants to be free." She does not fully understand her own emotions toward her partner, and it remains unclear whether he is aware of her dissatisfaction. The chorus repeats, "May be she wants to be," emphasizing the woman's uncertainty and ambivalence.
The final lines of the song, "She will not ever be what she had wanted, even if he will see she will not be," suggest a sense of resignation on the part of the woman. Even if her partner realizes her desire for independence, she feels that it is too late for her to achieve the life she had hoped for. Overall, "Winter Song" is a poignant reflection on the complexities of relationships and the difficulty of aligning one's own desires with those of another person.
