Winter Kills
Dune Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Winter Kills
Green, in your love
On bright days
You grew sun blind
You thought me unkind
To remind you
How winter kills
Lost in daydreams
You drove too fast
And got nowhere
You rode on half fare
When you got too scared
How winter kills
Tear at me searching for weaker seams
Pain, in your eyes
Makes me cruel
Makes me spiteful
Tears are delightful
Welcome your nightfall
How winter kills




I'll tear at you searching for weaker seams
How winter kills, how winter kills [Repeat: x6]

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dune's song Winter Kills are quite powerful and can be interpreted in many ways. The song starts by talking about a person who was in love and how they grew "sun blind" on bright days, implying that their love blinded them to the harsh realities of life. The singer then reminds this person about how winter kills, which can be seen as a metaphor for the harshness and difficulties of life that can't be ignored.


The song then goes on to talk about how this person got lost in daydreams and drove too fast, not getting anywhere. They also rode on half-fare when they got scared, implying that they took shortcuts when things got tough. The singer again reminds them about how winter kills, which can be seen as a warning to face their problems head-on and not take shortcuts.


The second half of the song takes a darker turn and talks about how pain in someone's eyes makes the singer cruel and spiteful. The singer finds tears "delightful" and welcomes their nightfall, which can be seen as a disturbing desire to see others suffer. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the point that winter kills and the singer will "tear at you searching for weaker seams", again implying that they will exploit any vulnerability in others.


Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of ignoring the difficult parts of life and taking shortcuts to avoid them. It's also a warning about the potential cruelty and darkness within people, which can be brought out by difficult and painful experiences.

Nope the voice is to high. When stealing someoneโ€™s song you need to be closer to the sound. What makes Yazโ€™s version is good because of Allisonโ€™s haunting voice.๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿผ
