Winter Song
Caesars Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The Wind is freezin all around
Dirty snow keeps falling down

I'm still here and you are gone
The city is cold and winter has come

Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long
Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long

I'm running down the icey streets
Trying to catch the last ??

Stumbling on my tired feet
Chasing down the summer street

Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long
Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long

The Wind is freezin all around
Dirty snow keeps falling down

I'm still here and you are gone
The city is cold and winter has come

Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long
Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long

Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long
Ohh gone ohh gone all winter long

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Caesars’ “Winter Song” are a reflection on the feelings of loneliness and isolation that come with the winter season. The cold weather and the dirty snow represent the melancholy that sets in during this time of year. The lines “I’m still here and you are gone” and “Chasing down the summer street” suggest that the song is about losing someone or something that was once vibrant and full of life, and the struggle to hold onto that feeling amidst the cold and loneliness of winter.

The repetition of the lines “Ooh gone ooh gone all winter long” reinforces the idea that the singer is grappling with a sense of emptiness that pervades the entire season. Despite their efforts to capture the warmth and vitality of the summer, it is slipping away from them along with everything else.

Overall, the song serves as a meditation on the emotional toll that winter can take, and the struggle to find meaning and joy in the face of such harsh conditions.
