Winter
Centers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's been a long long one
No winter I'm not sad to see you go
It's been a long long one
Oh vision who am I to know?
Can you show me how to release the inner flow?
It's a march onto the top whether I'm ready or not
Hello spring I am ready for your rain and sun
For your flowers to bloom
For all to have some fun
I still remember when the ghostly winter arrived
Threw us in the icy river and taught us to survive
I anticipate the summer and I wonder if it's true
If this overwhelming sense will lead us to another clue
With every intention we set
It brings us closer to the next
This team can stand any test
This team can stand any test
The lyrics of Winter by Centers paint a bleak picture of two people who have become disillusioned with their lives. The first verse describes a woman who has given up on her childhood dreams and is stuck in a dead-end job. She mutters to herself under her breath, hoping that she can make it through winter. The second verse is about a man who has been let go after 40 years at a job and has essentially given up on life. He barely realizes that winter has come and gone.
The chorus of the song talks about how both of these people are trying to pretend that their lives turned out good and that they made the right decisions. They are holding onto the hope that they can persevere through the cold, dark winter that has settled over their lives. The song is a powerful reminder of how easy it is to become trapped in a life that we never intended to live. Sometimes, we can become so bogged down by the daily grind and responsibilities that we lose sight of our dreams and aspirations.
Winter by Centers is a hauntingly beautiful song that captures the struggles of everyday people who are trying their best to make it through life. It is a reminder that we all have dreams and aspirations that we need to hold onto, even when everything around us seems dark and bleak.

She wastes her days away
She spends her time unproductively
She sinks her teeth into
She devotes herself entirely to
Her dead end job
A job that offers no growth or advancement
Long since had given up
Abandoned hope for
On Childhood dreams
Aspirations from childhood
All the things that she
Everything she hoped for
Could have become
Her potential
Muttering to herself
Speaking to herself in a low voice
Underneath her breath
Murmuring
She says
Expresses
I hope I can make it
I wish to survive
Through winter
Over difficult times
Winter
Difficult times
And she tries
Attempts
To pretend
Feigns
To believe
To convince herself
That she can
That she's capable
He barely gets out these days
He seldom goes out nowadays
His body ruined by a dead end job
His job has destroyed his body
Let go after forty years
Fired after four decades
He was replaced
Substituted
When younger faster
By those younger and quicker
Workers came along
New employees arrived
Now sitting in his room
Currently confined to his room
With the shades pulled shut
Closed curtains blocking light
He barely realizes that it's winter
He hardly recognizes the challenging phase he's in
A winner
A successful person
And he tries
Makes an effort
To pretend
To feign
To believe
To deceive himself
That his life
His existence
Turned out good
Is gratifying
Trying to
Struggling to
Pretend they took the
Acting like they selected the
Right road the path to
Accurate route to
Doors shut along
Opportunities lost
And failures that
The things that weren't successful
Have taken too long
Were drawn-out
