Regret
Covered in Snow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the void, we carry on and calmly fall asleep
With heavy consciences, we keep struggling through the day
There's no rewind, no taking back - Just let it fade away
And all the things we fought for, means nothing in the end
And all the things we've done - Are pointless to defend
When years have passed us by and we have paid off all our debts
Suddenly we realize: We have no time for our regrets
And all the things we fought for, means nothing in the end
And all the things we've done - Are pointless to defend
And all the things we fought for, means nothing in the end
And all the things we've done - Are pointless to defend

The singer is at a point where there is nothing more to be said or held onto, and they continue on with life, finding solace in sleep.
The second verse delves into the weight of guilt and the struggle to face each day with a heavy conscience. There is a realization that there is no way to reverse or undo what has been done, so one must simply let it fade away.

The chorus repeats the idea that the things fought for and actions taken ultimately hold no significance in the grand scheme of things.

With nothing left to say we have nothing left to keep
When all words have been spoken, there is nothing left to hold onto

And all the things we've done - Are pointless to defend
The actions we have taken are futile to justify
