Winter
Bryce Bishop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you're happy
Like the way you used to be
When we would talk about the future, smell the summer in the trees
But now it's winter
And a lot of time has past
It's been a year and a half, I hope you haven't moved past this

You're kinda hard to contact
At least that's what your friends say
But it's been a while since we have talked
I'm wondering if you'd rather not
And I've noticed
That you've been struggling to admit
That I don't know the half of it
And things have changed a lot since we met

I hate these worthless conversations rationalized indecision
And the awful thoughts I had when you were "having too much fun"
I'm a liar and a cheat and I'll be here all fucking week
I'll just be tryna slow my heart rate down enough so I can finally fall asleep

When we drove out to the hills where you can see across the city
While the trees blocked half the view the centre console stabbed our backs
I thought "fuck me this is nice"
And then you did and then it was
And then we laid out on the pavement till the cold crept through our bones

When we drove out to the hills where you can see across the city
While the trees blocked half the view the centre console stabbed our backs
I thought "fuck me this is nice"




And then you did and then it was
And then we tried to forget this would be the last time this would happen before you left

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bryce Bishop's song Winter seem to address a past romantic relationship that has ended. The first stanza talks about the memories of how it used to be when the two of them would talk about their future, and when the days were all sunny and happy. However, now winter has come, and it's been a year and a half, and the singer is wondering whether the person he's addressing has moved on or not. He also speaks of how it seems like it's hard to contact the person, which leads him to wonder if they don't want to speak to him.


The second stanza subtly reveals some of the relationship's issues. The person is struggling to admit certain things to the singer, and the singer doesn't know the half of it. He also speaks of how he hates the meaningless conversations they have about their indecisions, and he expresses guilt and shame over some of his past actions. The lyrics progress to talk about how they used to go on drives to see the view of the city. Still, the memory is bittersweet because although they had a nice time, the relationship ended, and it was the last time they would be together.


The song's lyrics are emotional and melancholic, and they paint a picture of a past love that lives on in memory. The song talks about their shared experiences, but it's clear that the relationship was not perfect, and it ended eventually. The song captures the pain of missing someone and the longing for what once was, making it a relatable piece for people who have experienced similar situations.


Line by Line Meaning

I hope you're happy
I wish you are content and fulfilled


Like the way you used to be
Just as you were before, when we were happy together


When we would talk about the future, smell the summer in the trees
When we used to dream about what lies ahead, feeling hope and joy in the present moment


But now it's winter
But now it feels like everything is cold and bleak


And a lot of time has past
It has been a long time since we were last happy together


It's been a year and a half, I hope you haven't moved past this
It's been 18 months since we last saw each other, and I hope you are not over our relationship


You're kinda hard to contact
It's difficult to get in touch with you


At least that's what your friends say
That's what I hear from your friends


But it's been a while since we have talked
But it's been a long time since we last communicated


I'm wondering if you'd rather not
I'm contemplating if you don't really want to speak to me


And I've noticed
And I've observed


That you've been struggling to admit
That you find it hard to confess


That I don't know the half of it
That there is much more to the situation than I understand


And things have changed a lot since we met
And much has altered in our lives since we first crossed paths


I hate these worthless conversations rationalized indecision
I despise these pointless chats where we justify our lack of action


And the awful thoughts I had when you were "having too much fun"
And the negative emotions that arise when I think about you enjoying yourself without me


I'm a liar and a cheat and I'll be here all fucking week
I'm untrustworthy and deceptive, and I'll be around here for the entire week


I'll just be tryna slow my heart rate down enough so I can finally fall asleep
I'll just be attempting to calm myself down so I can drift off to sleep


When we drove out to the hills where you can see across the city
When we took a trip to the hills that gave a panoramic view of the city


While the trees blocked half the view the centre console stabbed our backs
Although the view was a bit obstructed by the trees, the centre console of the car poked into our backs


I thought "fuck me this is nice"
I remember thinking to myself that this was an incredible moment


And then you did and then it was
And then we had sex, and the moment became even more special


And then we laid out on the pavemenet till the cold crept through our bones
And then we lay on the pavement until we started feeling the chill in our bones


And then we tried to forget this would be the last time this would happen before you left
And then we attempted to push the thought that this was our last intimate moment before you departed from our minds
