Winter
Beborn Beton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Are now living seperate lives
It seems to be not in our hands
To make a change, to keep us from decline
I hardly recall your face, your lips
Although I should know
A voice on the phone says:
And I say: No!
An eternity has past away since we first met
The summer breathe blew through your hair
I won't forget
I hardly recall your face, your lips
Although I should know
A voice on the phone says:
Do you love me?
And I say: No!
How shall the this faith return to earth again
Lay hand on your heart
What once was love is now despair again
This winter shall not pass
Let this winter pass
I guess it's something that I should learn
Because I never seem to find the right term
The song "Winter" by Beborn Beton talks about how two people who once shared strong emotions and an intense connection are now living separate lives. The lyrics express a sense of helplessness about the situation, as the singer acknowledges that it seems like there is nothing they can do to change the trajectory of their relationship. The chorus of the song features the poignant line "Do you love me?" to which the singer responds with a heartbreaking "No." Despite having spent an eternity together, the couple is now in a state of despair that almost seems impossible to overcome.
The song employs a vivid imagery of winter to mirror the coldness of the situation. The lyrics describe how the singer cannot recall the face or lips of their loved one, though they should. It represents the fading of their connection, the distance that has grown between them due to their differences. The singer suggests that they should learn from their experience but acknowledges their inability to find the right words to articulate their feelings.
One interesting thing about the lyrics of "Winter" is how the image of a season is used to describe the emotional state of the characters. It's a refreshing take on the typical love song, which often relies on cliches and predictable metaphors. Additionally, the song has several interpretations. It could be about the end of a romantic relationship, but it could also be about a friendship or any significant relationship that has come to an end.

The feelings that we shared
The bond we had in the past
Are now living seperate lives
We have grown apart
It seems to be not in our hands
We can't control the circumstances
To make a change, to keep us from decline
To save our relationship from falling apart
I hardly recall your face, your lips
I have forgotten how you look
Although I should know
Although I should remember
A voice on the phone says:
Someone on the phone asks:
Do you love me?
If I still love you
And I say: No!
And I answer: No!
An eternity has past away since we first met
It feels like a long time since we met
The summer breathe blew through your hair
I remember the warm summer breeze flowing through your hair
I won't forget
I will always remember
How shall the this faith return to earth again
How can this relationship be restored
Lay hand on your heart
Ask yourself
What once was love is now despair again
Our love has turned to sadness
This winter shall not pass
This difficult time will not end soon
Let this winter pass
Let this difficult time end
I guess it's something that I should learn
I think it's something I need to understand
Because I never seem to find the right term
Because I can't seem to find the right words to say
