Winter
BENEE Lyrics

Zombies tryna sleep
I feel surrounded by lifelessness, as if I'm among those who are disconnected from reality.

Zombies surround me
I sense a suffocating presence of people around me who lack genuine engagement or understanding.

I'm out of place, I feel so weak
My sense of belonging is shattered, leaving me feeling vulnerable and lacking strength in this environment.

People starin' at me
I can't shake off the feeling of being scrutinized by those around me, adding to my discomfort.

I crave the quiet
Desiring peace and solitude, I long for a reprieve from the chaos and noise surrounding me.

I love the silence
I find comfort in stillness, valuing moments devoid of distraction and turmoil.

Wanna be told a bedtime story
I long for comforting narratives that provide solace and a sense of security, reminiscent of childhood innocence.

Then not wake up in the morning
There’s a yearning for escapism so profound that I wish to remain in that comforting state indefinitely.

Something here doesn't feel right
An unsettling realization washes over me, indicating that my current situation is amiss.

My skin burns, I start to cry
Physical discomfort and emotional pain engulf me, leading to an overwhelming urge to express my distress through tears.

The winter suits me better
I find solace and comfort in the cold, perhaps feeling more aligned with a stark and harsh reality than a warm one.

The winter suits me better
Again, the notion is echoed that this frigid environment resonates with my inner state.

Where are you? Call me
I feel a profound absence and reach out, longing for connection with someone important.

Pray that I was in your dream
Hoping for a mystical connection, I wish to be present in your subconscious, even if only as an afterthought.

Couldn't run and couldn't scream
In the face of my struggles, I feel paralyzed and silenced, unable to express my distress.

Start collecting all my teeth
This strange imagery conveys a sense of losing something vital, perhaps indicating a loss of innocence or power.

But I've got bad news, babe
I'm about to reveal an unsettling truth that might be hard for you to accept.

For your news, front page
What I have to say is significant and should be acknowledged, as if it were headline news.

I swear, I saw you right there
A vivid recollection makes me feel your presence strongly, blurring the lines between reality and imagination.

Or was it just a nightmare?
I question the validity of my perception; was it real or a figment of my troubled mind?

But that's what happens when you find
This is the consequence of discovering something or someone unexpected and unsettling.

A creature that was left outside
The metaphor suggests encountering something neglected or abandoned, shedding light on feelings of desolation.

The winter suits me better
Reiterating a sense of belonging to a chilling environment, I find peace in the harshness of winter.

The winter suits me better
Emphasizing my connection to these cold, isolating feelings once again.

The winter suits me better
The repeated sentiment highlights a desire for authenticity in adversity.

The winter suits me better
Reaffirming my affinity for the stark reality of winter, suggesting comfort in acknowledging struggle.
