Winter
CrashCarBurn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's after midnight
Quiet bodes
Follow the streetlights
One more song now
Before we lay this night to rest
'Cos I'm not ready
We talk in circles but we go nowhere
Tell me you want this
And I'll be there
Until we find a better way
To keep this breathing
Winter
You burn me slowly
Why am I
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and only
Passing cars
Can't tell the difference 'tween racing hearts
An awkward silence
Don't lose sight now
I'm clear as day in the smoking headlights
So why can't you see me
Just open your eyes
Don't let this darkness in your history cloud your mind
This is a new page
Turn it slowly
I know you find the perfect words
To write this story
Winter
You burn me slowly
Why am I
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and only
Show me
Show me your reasons
And stop me
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and only
Oh tonight
Go sleep so safe
But I
I am runnin' away
Runnin' away from these signs
And oh tonight
You'll sleep so safe
But I
I am runnin' away
Runnin' away from these signs
Winter
You burn me slowly
Why am I
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and
The one and only
Show me
Show me your reasons
And stop me
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and
Please stop me
Runnin' away
Runnin' away
From the one and only
The song "Winter" by CrashCarBurn features introspective and reflective lyrics that contemplate the complexities of a relationship. The song is characterized by a slow and melancholic melody that is reinforced by the subdued vocals of the lead singer. The song starts with the singers almost reaching home after midnight, and the singer prepares to end the night with one more song. However, the singer's love interest seems to be distant and hesitant about their relationship, which creates feelings of anxiety and uncertainty in the singer. The first verse conveys a sense of longing and hesitancy that encapsulates the emotional core of the song.
In the chorus, the lead singer repeats the words "Winter, you burn me slowly, why am I running away, from the one and only." This phrase encapsulates the core emotional conflict that the singer faces. The singer feels vulnerable and exposed in the relationship, and they also feel like they're not being reciprocated, which creates discomfort and fear in the singer. The song's overall theme revolves around the struggle to stay emotionally connected to someone while also maintaining one's independence and sense of self.
Line by Line Meaning
We're almost home
We are almost at our destination
It's after midnight
The time is very late at night
Quiet bodes
There is a peaceful atmosphere
Follow the streetlights
We are using the streetlights as a guide
One more song now
We are going to listen to one more song
Before we lay this night to rest
Before we end this night and go to sleep
'Cos I'm not ready
Because I am not yet prepared for it to end
You're so scared
You are feeling very afraid
We talk in circles but we go nowhere
We are having a conversation that is not moving us forward
Tell me you want this
Tell me that you desire this
And I'll be there
I will support you
Until we find a better way
Until we discover a more effective method
To keep this breathing
To keep this relationship alive
Winter
The coldness and darkness of the season
You burn me slowly
You are causing me emotional pain gradually over time
Why am I
Why do I find myself
Runnin' away
Fleeing or avoiding the situation
From the one and only
From the person who means the most or is irreplaceable
Passing cars
Cars that drive by us
Can't tell the difference 'tween racing hearts
Cannot distinguish between the sound of car engines and our racing heartbeats
An awkward silence
An uncomfortable moment of silence
Don't lose sight now
Do not lose focus or become distracted now
I'm clear as day in the smoking headlights
I am very visible in the midst of the fog or smoke created by the headlights
So why can't you see me
So why are you not paying attention to me?
Just open your eyes
Just pay attention and be aware of what is happening
Don't let this darkness in your history cloud your mind
Do not let past difficulties negatively affect your thoughts now
This is a new page
This is a fresh start
Turn it slowly
Take it step by step
I know you find the perfect words
I know you are capable of saying exactly the right thing
To write this story
To create our future together
Show me
Demonstrate to me
Show me your reasons
Explain to me why you feel the way you do
And stop me
And prevent me from
Please stop me
I need you to prevent me from
From the one and only
From the person who is most important to me
Oh tonight
Tonight
Go sleep so safe
Go to sleep feeling secure and protected
But I
But I am
Runnin' away
Fleeing or avoiding the situation
From these signs
From the indications or warnings present
