Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'm not, so fuck you
I drank too many beers, I said
That part's still true
I've been standing in one place
All the memories are gone
If I fail, I'm the one to blame
But I don't care at all
Now, I'm not
I drank too many beers, I said
Then I forgot
The song Snowblower by B. Baker Chocolate Co. is a short yet hauntingly powerful representation of fear, alcohol consumption, and memories. The opening lines, "I'm so afraid of you, I said, now I'm not, so fuck you" depict the singer's initial fear and eventual defiance towards someone or something. The following lines, "I drank too many beers, I said, that part's still true" suggest that the singer may have used alcohol to cope with their fear.
The next two lines, "I've been standing in one place, all the memories are gone" could be interpreted as the singer being stuck in a state of fear and unable to move forward. However, the phrase "all the memories are gone" adds a layer of complexity as it could suggest that the singer has suppressed their memories in order to avoid dealing with their fear. The final lines, "If I fail, I'm the one to blame, but I don't care at all. I'm so afraid of you, I said, now I'm not. I drank too many beers, I said, then I forgot" highlight the consequences of not facing one's fears and how they can lead to a sense of apathy and forgetfulness.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm so afraid of you, I said
I used to fear you deeply and your presence would perturb me
Now I'm not, so fuck you
But now that attitude has changed and I don't give a damn about you
I drank too many beers, I said
I consumed a lot of alcohol and now I'm feeling the effects
That part's still true
Although I'm no longer afraid of you, I still drank too much and feel that way
I've been standing in one place
I've been stagnant and unchanging in my life
All the memories are gone
All of my past experiences and recollections have vanished
If I fail, I'm the one to blame
If I don't succeed, I know it will be my own fault
But I don't care at all
But my lack of concern shows my apathy towards the situation
Then I forgot
In my drunken state, I lost track of what I was saying before

Dreamer I’m the one who loves you
Dreamer place no one above you
Dreamer I always think about you
Dreamer I can’t go on without you
And dreamer know that I adore you
Dreamer there’s no one else before you
I’m the one who is love is true
I’m so in love with you
I’ve seen too much of him abusing you
And that ain’t good of him accusing you
Dreamer I’m the one to cling to
And dreamer you have the one who’s got you
Dreamer I’m the one that’ll be nice to you
It would be so nice if you would just take my advice
He just keeps you there confusing you
His love don’t compare because he’s just using you
Dreamer why are you lied to
Dreamer what are you tied to
Dreamer why do you cry for him
I’m the one who’s been here much too long
He just keeps you hanging on
You have been his only crutch
Life has been much too much
You haven’t seen nothing yet
With me love show you __
