Snowflake
Dee.Age Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you wanna see the clouds
Of million snowflakes in the autumn
To call the uppwing bright might sound
Spread out your arms, and try to catch the tears of winter
Feel them smelting in your hand
Do you wanna see the lives

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Dee.Age's "Snowflakes" evoke the beauty and fragility of winter. The opening lines, "Do you wanna see the clouds of million snowflakes in the autumn," suggest a magical and otherworldly image. It's almost as if the singer is inviting us to experience something wondrous and fleeting. The metaphor of "the tears of winter" suggests that snowflakes are more than just frozen water – they are tiny, crystalline droplets that fall from the sky like tears. The lines "spread out your arms, and try to catch the tears of winter/Feel them smelting in your hand" create an intimate image of someone reaching out to touch the snowflakes, feeling them dissolve and disappear in their palm.

The second half of the song takes on a more introspective tone, with the line "Do you wanna see the lives" suggesting a contemplation of mortality. The snowflakes become a symbol of individuality and uniqueness – just as no two snowflakes are alike, no two lives are the same. The singer seems to be grappling with the idea of transience, asking "where do they go/When they're melting away?" The final lines, "Snowflakes/Drifting away" leave us with a sense of melancholy and longing for something that cannot be held onto.
