Trees in the Winter
Between You & Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
I never cared much for the way I roam about
And drag my feet across this empty fucking town
That I grew up in. But lately I feel lost
And now I'm stuck in my own mistakes and what they've cost
Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin
Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December
Short sight with the gutter in mind
I know I lost track but I'll be fine
If you stay true to who's inside
You will find your path along this life
Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin
Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December
I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
And it makes me think of where I wanna go
I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
And it makes me think of where I want to, I want to go
Season's coming to an end
I need the warmth that it never brings
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
Motivation's wearing thin
Just like it always is
Please take me back, I miss those days in December
The lyrics of "Trees in the Winter" by Between You & Me convey a sense of longing and dissatisfaction with one's current state of being. The mention of the end of a season and the desire for warmth that never comes symbolizes the feeling of being trapped or stuck in a cold and lonely place. The comparison of falling apart like trees in the winter further emphasizes a sense of vulnerability and deterioration.
The lyrics also touch upon a sense of aimlessness and discontentment with the town the singer grew up in. They feel lost and burdened by their own mistakes and the consequences those mistakes have brought upon them. The phrase "motivation's wearing thin" indicates a lack of drive or inspiration to change their circumstances.
However, amidst the longing and dissatisfaction, there is a glimmer of hope. The lyrics suggest that staying true to oneself and embracing one's internal voice will lead to finding a path in life. The mention of listening to punk songs on the stereo at home reflects a desire for escape and a source of inspiration to envision a different future.
Overall, "Trees in the Winter" expresses a sense of yearning for something more fulfilling and meaningful in life, a desire to break free from the constraints and monotony of the present, and the constant struggle to find motivation and direction.

Season's coming to an end
The current phase of my life is approaching its conclusion
I need the warmth that it never brings
I crave emotional comfort that is always absent
Cause right now I fall apart like trees in the winter
My emotions are falling apart and I feel as barren as winter trees
I never cared much for the way I roam about
I never gave much thought to how I aimlessly wander
And drag my feet across this empty fucking town
I reluctantly move through this desolate town
That I grew up in. But lately I feel lost
Although it's my hometown, I now feel directionless
And now I'm stuck in my own mistakes and what they've cost
I am trapped by the consequences of my own errors
Motivation's wearing thin
My drive and enthusiasm are diminishing
Just like it always is
This lack of motivation is a recurring pattern
Please take me back, I miss those days in December
I long for the return of the joyful times I experienced in December
Short sight with the gutter in mind
My limited perspective is focused on negativity
I know I lost track but I'll be fine
I acknowledge that I've lost my way, but I believe I'll recover
If you stay true to who's inside
If you remain authentic to yourself
You will find your path along this life
You'll discover your purpose and direction in life
I'll listen to punk songs on my stereo at home
I find solace and introspection by listening to punk music at home
And it makes me think of where I wanna go
It inspires contemplation about my desired destination
And it makes me think of where I want to, I want to go
It compels me to consider where I truly want to go
